FileInfo.ExtractGZipToDirectory Not Working

[adamfisher]

I was unable to get ExtractGZipToDirectory() working. It just created an empty file when I tried to decompress it. I ended up creating this method which did work:

private static FileInfo DecompressGZipFile(this FileInfo compressedFilePath)
{
	using (var fs = compressedFilePath.OpenRead())
	{
		using (var zipStream = new GZipStream(fs, CompressionMode.Decompress))
		{
			var buffer1 = compressedFilePath.Name.Split('.');
			var buffer2 = buffer1[0] + "." + buffer1[1];
			var filePath = Path.Combine(compressedFilePath.DirectoryName, buffer2);

			using (var fOutStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
			{
				var tempBytes = new byte[4096];
				int i;
				while ((i = zipStream.Read(tempBytes, 0, tempBytes.Length)) != 0)
				{
					fOutStream.Write(tempBytes, 0, i);
				}
			}

			return new FileInfo(filePath);
		}
	}
}

Hello @adamfisher , @prasadtelkikar ,

Thank you for reporting and your interest.

It has been a long time since the last time we really make a big change to this project. However, I still use it on a daily usage so that's for sure a project I would like to keep up to date.

I will discuss with my team and check about the future of this project and what we could plan for it.

Best Regards,

Jonathan

Hello @adamfisher , @prasadtelkikar ,

Just to let you know what has been decided yesterday,

We finally choose to have a developer dedicated to the document in January and create a website for the documentation about our extensions methods.

Every extension methods will come with documentation and an online example using https://dotnetfiddle.net/ whenever we can.

Once the documentation is completed (or we believe enough extension has been documented), we will start to support again this library by adding some new methods/merging pull.

If you get the information you need @prasadtelkikar to fix it, feel free to provide a pull request.

As said, on our side, we will start first with the documentation for the next 1-2 months before starting to add more extensions or provide support. Best Regards,

Jonathan

Just try using the ExtractGZipToDirectory() extension method on any zipped file and it fails.
