Adding files and folders with PSCX Write-Zip does not respect folder structure
I just downloaded the latest PowerShell Community Extension and I am struggling to add files and folders to an existing zip file.
I run PowerShell ISE to test the command and I am currently in the profile folder. Here is the folder structure I'm testing with:
- Users
|- MyUser
|- Tests
|- Container.zip
|- SomeFolder
|- file1.txt
|- file2.txt
My prompt is in a folder Users\MyUser\Tests
and I run the following line:
dir SomeFolder | Write-Zip -OutputPath:Container.zip -Append
When I open the updated zip file, there is a folder for each folder of my entire structure, starting with Users
for example:
- Container.zip
|- Users
|- MyUser
|- Tests
|- SomeFolder
|- file1.txt
|- file2.txt
But I want to have the SomeFolder
zip file directly in the root directory, for example:
- Container.zip
|- SomeFolder
|- file1.txt
|- file2.txt
The weird thing is that if I remove the switch -Append
and let the cmdlet create a new zip, it will contain the expected structure. What am I missing?
