react-native-zip-archive TypeError: Cannot read property 'zipFolder' of null

[Arif-Shahriar028]

I am trying to zip a folder in react-native using react-native-zip-archive. But there is an error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'zipFolder' of null. I have no idea whats going wrong.

This is my code snippet:

      const targetPath = `${RNFS.DownloadDirectoryPath}/myFile.zip`
      const sourcePath = RNFS.DownloadDirectoryPath

      console.log("targetpath: ", targetPath)
      console.log("Sourcepath: ", sourcePath)

      try {
        zip(sourcePath, targetPath)
          .then((path) => {
            console.log(`zip completed at ${path}`)
          })
          .catch((error) => {
            console.error(error)
          })
      } catch (error) {
        console.error(`Error in zip: ${error}`);
      }

I am getting an error like this:

Can anyone give any idea whats going wrong?

Can you confirm you're linking correctly? Or maybe you're forgetting to run pod install in the ios folder of your app? Or you're using expo?

@plrthink thanks for your response!

I opened this issue one month ago, that time I was failed to solve this issue. I was using expo. I couldn't figure out what I did wrong. By the way, then I wrote a basic java module for zip and unzip for android and used this java module by NativeModule of react-native.
