Unzip Archive with Groovy

Question

is there a built-in support in Groovy to handle Zip files (the groovy way)?

Or do i have to use Java\'s java.util.zip.ZipFile to process Zip files in Groovy ?

Answer 1

The below groovy methods will unzip into specific folder (C:\folder). Hope this helps.

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils
import java.nio.file.Files
import java.nio.file.Paths
import java.util.zip.ZipFile

def unzipFile(File file) {
    cleanupFolder()
    def zipFile = new ZipFile(file)
    zipFile.entries().each { it ->
        def path = Paths.get('c:\\folder\\' + it.name)
        if(it.directory){
            Files.createDirectories(path)
        }
        else {
            def parentDir = path.getParent()
            if (!Files.exists(parentDir)) {
                Files.createDirectories(parentDir)
            }
            Files.copy(zipFile.getInputStream(it), path)
        }
    }
}

private cleanupFolder() {
    FileUtils.deleteDirectory(new File('c:\\folder\\'))
}
