Mixing
ProgressBar for Zip arhive in powershell
0
I have a piece of code that works just fine in powershell.
However I want to visualize the amount of work (zipping process).
Write-Host "Started zipping files and folders..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
Add-Type -Assembly System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
$compressionLevel = [System.IO.Compression.CompressionLevel]::Optimal
$zip = [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::CreateFromDirectory("$Destination$folderName",
"$Destination$folderName.zip", $compressionLevel, $false)
if ($?) {
Write-Host "Zip process success. Exiting..." -ForegroundColor Yellow
Invoke-Item "$Destination"
sleep -Seconds 2
}
else {
Write-Host "Zip process failed." -ForegroundColor Red
}
I assume that what I need to put is something like:
Write-Progress -Activity "Zipping files and folders..." -Status "Progress:" -PercentComplete ($zip/something?)}
I am using Powershell v 5.1
UPDATE:
I will probably change and use incorporated cmdlet Compress-Archive

If you use Compress-Archive it will do what you want and show a progress bar.
Compress-Archive -Path "$Destination$folderName" -DestinationPath "$Destination$folderName.zip"

I've just run it a Compress-Archive cmdlet, and I don't see any progress bar. Maybe because I am working VSCode environment for development? Thanks Update: exactly what I said - in VSCode I can't see progressbar, while when I run it through powershell.exe I see it. Thanks

Not sure on VSCode, but it doesn't show progress if you're compressing a small archive. It will show like i.stack.imgur.com/37JuN.png on a big archive (ignore nodejs ref it's a random screenshot from google to illustrate)
