Error while zipping file under Azure Local Storage "The directory Name is Invalid"

Question

Error Showing while try to zip file under Azure Local Storage. I am trying to zip .ps1 file to <filename>.ps1.zip and i am getting an error

The directory name is invalid.

code:

       string scriptPath = Path.Combine(fileDirectoryPath, fileName);
       string destFilePath = string.Empty;
       List<string> zipFolderDetails = new List<string>();

       if (!File.Exists(scriptPath))
       {
           throw new Exception(string.Format("ZipFile : No file exists in the source path {0}", fileName));
       }

       string newDirectoryPath = Path.Combine(Utilities.GetLocalDirectoryScriptPath(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString());

       zipFolderDetails.Add(newDirectoryPath);      
       Directory.CreateDirectory(newDirectoryPath);        
       destFilePath = newDirectoryPath + @"\" + fileName + ".zip";

       zipFolderDetails.Add(destFilePath);        
       //// Zipping the script file
       System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(scriptPath, destFilePath, CompressionLevel.Fastest, false);  // <--- Exception here      
       return zipFolderDetails;

Answer 1

we sorted out the issue. We were passing the file path as first parameter, but it should be the directory path where file needed to zip exists.

we changed the code like this and it works now

 System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(sourceDirectory, destFilePath, CompressionLevel.Fastest, false);  // <--- Exception here
