Laravel Chumper Zipper close() not creating zip file - php

Question

I am trying to create a zip file with folders inside it.
Now the code is :
{
$zipper = new \Chumper\Zipper\Zipper;
$zipper->make(storage_path('app/' . $zipPath));
.
.
Storage::makeDirectory($zipPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $user->username , 0777);
$zipper->folder($zipPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $user->username);
$currentZipPath = $zipPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $user->username;
Storage::makeDirectory($currentZipPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $myfolder->name , 0777);
$zipper->folder($currentZipPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $myfolder->name);
.
.
$this->addDataToZip($contents, $currentZipPath . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $myfolder->name, $zipper, $user);
Log::info('Zip status : ' . $zipper->getStatus()); //Gives "No error"
$zipper->close();
}
public function addDataToZip($contents, $path, &$zipper, $user)
{
foreach ($contents as $content) {
$filebasepath = storage_path('app/' . $path);
Storage::copy(
$this->model->getActiveStorageBasePath($user)
. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $content->unique_name,
$path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $content->unique_name
);
$zipper->add(storage_path() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'app'
. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $path
. DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $content->unique_name);
}
}
Now when I view the folder locally, the entie admin.zip folder is created with complete heirarchy and content.
But on $zipper->close, the zip file is not created and the admin.zip folder remains there.
Also there is no error in the API call or the logs.
Please guide on where I might be making an error

Answer 1

See with example Chumper/Zipper. This is the simple and straightforward way to use.
OR you can place this line "status ::". $zipper->status . "\n" after $zipper->add() to check status.
