Subdirs in zip have wrong file attributes

[Noitidart]

Similar to this topic here - #62

This is still happening to me but only on SUB-directories, I am using v3.2.0 - however what I do differently is my main system is Windows. So I run the gulp script on my Windows system and when I send my zip to others who open it on Ubuntu they see this:

The first level directories are fine, but directories inside those directories are like this.

First level directories are fine:

Is there a proper fix for this?

[Noitidart]

Thanks @dayanand-saraswati for your comment, I haven't found one yet.

Same issue. Any news?

[lfire]

I have fixed the problem by use gulp-chmod.
pipe(chmod(0o755, 0o755))

[Noitidart]

@lfire does gulp-chmod work if it's execute on Windows platform?

[lfire]

@Noitidart yes, but I find another problem.
sindresorhus/gulp-chmod#12

[lfire]

@Noitidart The problem was solved, and the reason is use the wrong param.
the param is pipe(chmod(0o755, 0o40755)).
the detail please read sindresorhus/gulp-chmod#12
hope to help you.

Ran into this problem the past week. Here is an update of the current state of this problem.

In my opinion the underlaying issue is not with any of these npm packages, nor with Node.js itself. gulp-zip merely creates explicit directory entries in the zip file, copying their permissions.

yazl, the actual package used to compress, always makes UNIX like archives. Other Windows archivers (like 7-Zip) make FAT archives witch avoid problems with permissions. See: yazl docs and this
answer here.

Unlike Linux, Windows doesn't require that directories be executable in order to allow access.

• Default stat raw mode (reported by Node) for directories on Windows is 0o40666 (octal).
• Default stat raw mode (reported by Node) for directories on Linux is 0o40755 (octal).

This comment explains it very well. @lfire's solution and this one work very well for the moment.

One solution, if @sindresorhus agrees, is for this package to check if running on Windows and make sure a directory has execution permission before adding it to the archive.

The same problem. Moved to https://github.com/joaomoreno/gulp-vinyl-zip since this issue still not resolved.

This is breaking issue for gulp-zip when developing on Windows. Is there at least a work-around until a fix is released?
