Tutorial zip broken

[Rinze-CodeGorilla]

Describe the problem that you experienced

The Angular tutorial requires downloading the project files to get started, it provides a link to a .zip file. This .zip file is broken: the files in the base directory are instead marked as being in the root directory, which means they don't extract by default, and in some tools aren't even visible. Not having the files in the base directory means I can't run npm install or ng serve because the package.json and angular configuration files are missing.

The zip files are broken in all lessons, not just the first one.

Describe what you want to experience that would fix the problem

A zip that has it's files in the right location so they extract to the right location and I can actually learn Angular

Hi @JoostK,

I can take a look on this issue.

[9kubczas4]

Hi,

I tried to reproduce this issue, however structure of the files looks correct for me. I was able to install dependencies and run app via ng serve successfully.

I generated the zip using:

• macOS 14.5
• NixOS - Kernel 6.10

@Rinze-CodeGorilla could you tell me which exact OS version do you use and what tool to unzip is your choice?

[JoostK]

I did reproduce in Windows 10 the other day, using 7-zip. There's a src directory and all files that are supposed to be at the root have been moved into a directory named _. I didn't try on Mac at that time though, so this might have been resolved in the meantime or it could be platform dependent

[9kubczas4]

Yes, I assume that probably the issue is platform-dependent. I'll continue the investigation of it.
