TypeError: Deno.write is not a function

[richcorbs]

I'm using Deno 2 and trying to use compress to tar and gzip a directory on one system and then ungzip and untar the directory on another. The directory contains text and binary files.

Previously I have tried 0.4.4, and 0.4.5 and I was getting Deno.read is not a function. Updating to 0.4.6 resolved this error. Yay! Now I'm getting the Deno.write error.\

The tar file is written as expected and where expected but this Deno.write error shows up during the gzip portion. A 0-byte ".gz" file is created.

This library seems to do exactly what I need if I could get it to work.

I'll look around the code a bit to see if there is anything obvious but I'm not confident in my own skills.

Any thoughts you have are appreciated if you're reading this. :-)

$ deno run --allow-read --allow-write --allow-net --allow-run main.ts --deploy --production

<a list of my files to be included in the tar.gz file>
.....

Is it as simple as updating writer_gzip.ts:41 to use Deno.writeFile?

[richcorbs]

I cloned the repo and updated writer_gzip.ts. This introduced new errors about something being a directory.

I (sloppily) coded around those errors and got it to run BUT my files were 0 byte files at the destination. :-(

[richcorbs]

Another data point: I created the gzip another way and was able to use compress's gunzipFile to unzip it and uncompress to untar it.

@richcorbs I haven't done js/ts related work for more than five years, and I don't have the ability to maintain it now.

Solution:

• Read the source code yourself, modify it and submit a pull request
• Fork the code and maintain it yourself
• Other people in the community help solve your problems
