Zip don't include hidden files

[IvGaLa]

Hi, i'm Laravel developer on linux. I try to create a backup of my server, but Zipper don' include hidden files (.files) How can i do? I use this test code:

$zipper = new \Chumper\Zipper\Zipper;
$zipper->make('zipped.zip')->add(public_path)->close();

Thanks

Well, i get this trick.

The issue is not in zipper class, are in iluminate/Filesystem/Filesystem.php 'files' function The line (number ~250):

$glob = glob($directory.'/*');

only get files and dir but this one

$glob = glob($directory. '/{,.}*', GLOB_BRACE);

get dir and all files (include dot file, yes '.' and '..' too), but in the if sentence, when check is 'file' type discrimine dirs, and also '.' and '..' "files"

I hope this help someone, and sorry my poor english :smile:

@DooBieDoo do you have workaround?

$zipper = new \Chumper\Zipper\Zipper;
$zipper->make('zipped.zip')->add(glob($directory. '/{,.}*', GLOB_BRACE))->close();

this will work?

Hey @eleftrik, this package was inteded for laravel 4 mainly. As I moved on I stopped updating the package myself except merging in PRs.

If you make a PR with the wished changes, I will happily merge them in.
