Ruby Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Zip.AppendNew to Zip.AddEmpty

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendNew method calls with AddEmpty. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

zip = Chilkat::CkZip.new()

#  ...
#  ...
pathInZip = "example.dat"

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  The AppendNew method is deprecated:

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendNew(pathInZip)
if (zip.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  ...
#  ...

#  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Do the equivalent using AddEmpty.

#  Indicate the newly appended entry is not a directory entry.
isDir = false

success = zip.AddEmpty(isDir,pathInZip)
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
#  The newly appended entry is the last one.
ze = Chilkat::CkZipEntry.new()
index = zip.get_NumEntries() - 1
zip.EntryAt(index,ze)
