compress static method

Future<int> compress(String source, String destination)

Compresses files from the source directory into a ZIP archive.

• source - Source directory path containing files to compress
• destination - Destination path for the compressed archive

Returns the process exit code (0 indicates success).

The compression includes all files in the source directory and creates a file named "debug_symbols.zip" in the source directory. The method uses platform-specific compression tools:

• Windows: PowerShell's Compress-Archive cmdlet
• macOS/Linux: zip command with recursive option

Throws UnsupportedError for unsupported platforms.

Example usage:

final exitCode = await CompressFiles.compress(
  '/path/to/source/directory',
  '/path/to/output.zip',
);
if (exitCode == 0) {
  print('Compression successful');
} else {
  print('Compression failed with exit code: $exitCode');
}

Implementation

static Future<int> compress(String source, String destination) {
  if (Platform.isWindows) {
    // Use PowerShell Compress-Archive to create ZIP file
    return Process.run(
      "powershell",
      [
        "Compress-Archive",
        "-Path",
        "*", // Compress all files in the working directory
        "-DestinationPath",
        "debug_symbols.zip",
      ],
      runInShell: true,
      workingDirectory: source, // Set working directory to source path
    ).then((value) => value.exitCode);
  } else if (Platform.isMacOS || Platform.isLinux) {
    // Use zip command with recursive option
    return Process.run(
            "zip",
            [
              "-r",
              "debug_symbols.zip",
              ".",
            ],
            workingDirectory: source) // Set working directory to source path
        .then((value) => value.exitCode);
  } else {
    throw UnsupportedError("Unsupported platform for compression");
  }
