zip a folder with rubyzip

gistfile1.txt

require 'rubygems'
require 'zip'

archive_directory_path = ''
archive_zip_path = ''

Zip::File.open( archive_zip_path, Zip::File::CREATE ) do |zip_file|
  Dir[ File.join( archive_directory_path, "**", "**" ) ].each do |file|
    zip_file.add( file.sub( "#{ archive_directory_path }/", "" ), file )
  end
end

Updated one with new ruby version here

@dharshan's link is broken. Here's an updated version we're using, though:

Zip::File.open( archive_zip_path, Zip::File::CREATE ) do |zip_file|
  Dir[ File.join( archive_directory_path, "**", "**" ) ].each do |file|
    zip_file.add( file.sub( "#{ archive_directory_path }/", "" ), file )
  end
end

Kudos to @darshan and @joshuapinter

@joshuapinter @yoon updated broken link
