Won't zip if folder name contains [square brackets]

[huguestennier]

If you try to zip within a directory that contains [square brackets] - it looks like the process goes through (even npm test passes) but in reality it will fail to zip.

I just had a look at this issue. There is not a lot of details here and its a pretty old bug. I'm going to assume you were using gulp.src to pipe into gulp zip in which case this is not a bug in gulp-zip, it was a bug in the glob library used by gulp.

gulpjs/gulp#616

Testing on linux and macos double escaping [ and ] works with gulp@4.

const gulp = require('gulp');
const zip = require('gulp-zip');

gulp.task('default', () =>
	gulp.src('\\[src\\]/*')
		.pipe(zip('archive.zip'))
		.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
);
