PHP code:

use Alchemy\Zippy\Zippy;

$zip = Zippy::load(); $zip->create('testingit.zip', array( "assets/img/logo.png" ),$recursive = true);

The Error: Alchemy \ Zippy \ Exception \ RuntimeException Unable to create archive open: C:\xampp\htdocs\r6images\vendor\alchemy\zippy\src\Alchemy\Zippy\Zippy.php }

    try {
        return $this
                ->getAdapterFor($this->sanitizeExtension($type))
                ->create($path, $files, $recursive);
    } catch (ExceptionInterface $e) {
        throw new RuntimeException('Unable to create archive', $e->getCode(), $e);
    }
}

Hello, i have the same issue how i can investigate ? Thank you !

I'm having the same issue with Laravel 4. It runs fine on my MAMP development machine, but I get the same "Unable to create archive" RuntimeException on my production server, which runs Ubuntu 14.04 and PHP 5.6.

If I modify the code and var_dump the exception thrown on line 63 in Alchemy\Zippy\Zippy.php I get a little more information:

object(Alchemy\Zippy\Exception\RuntimeException)[1464]
  protected 'message' => string 'Unable to create the inflator' (length=29)
  private 'string' (Exception) => string '' (length=0)
  protected 'code' => int 0
  protected 'file' => string '/home/forge/mysite.com/laravel/vendor/alchemy/zippy/src/Alchemy/Zippy/Adapter/AbstractBinaryAdapter.php' (length=123)
  protected 'line' => int 162
  private 'trace' (Exception) =>

Same issue. Running on Laravel Homestead. PHP Zip utility is enabled.

Edit: @kylenoland's using Laravel Forge which has the same environment as Laravel Homestead.

I have this issue too. I don't have zip installed on my vm. Maybe that's the problem. So I resolved using zip-extension adapter:

$zippy = ZipExtensionAdapter::newInstance();

[driesvints]

@yosmanyga that did the trick for me as well. Thanks for the tip!

This should be fixed in Zippy v0.2.1
