Empty .tar.gz file when using example code to create a new archive

[heavyflames]

When using the example found here :
https://github.com/icsharpcode/SharpZipLib/wiki/GZip-and-Tar-Samples#createTGZ

I have a folder structure like C:\tmp\staging\vpd
and I have 1 file in that folder.
But when trying to create a .tar.gz file based on that folder the .tar.gz file is empty.
But If I step out one folder, to c:\tmp\staging then I get a .tar.gz that contains all the folders and files from there.
Why is that?

I presume you are using the example methods and basically doing this:

CreateTarGZ(@"c:\tmp\output.tar.gz", @"C:\tmp\staging\vpd");

I don't see why that would not include your file, but you can log what files are found to perhaps better debug what is going on:

   // Write each file to the tar.
    string[] filenames = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDirectory);
    foreach (string filename in filenames)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Adding {filename}...");
        tarEntry = TarEntry.CreateEntryFromFile(filename);
        tarArchive.WriteEntry(tarEntry, true);
    }
