VerifyZip - Any way to keep the original ZIP before extraction?

[AwkEng]

I'm using VerifyZip to verify Google Earth KMZs (zipped KML). In my tests, I'm retrieving the KMZ streams from a WebAPI and using the VerifyZip(Stream stream) overload. This has been working great so far.

I can then open the extracted KMLs in Google Earth to visually verify if needed. The only downside is my KMZs have embedded images and the extracted KMLs lose access to them when Verify alters the file name structure.

Is there a way for Verify to keep an unmodified copy of the archive before extraction?

I suppose I could save the KMZ after VerifyZip(Stream stream) executes. If that would be the best path, is there any way to obtain the folder path for the Verify generated folder? Or should I specify a custom directory via VerifySettings and write the KMZ to that directory?

Just looking for options. I love the library.

can u update to the latest and try this https://github.com/VerifyTests/Verify/blob/main/docs/verify-zip.md#persistarchive

I stand corrected on # 2. I was not able to reproduce the archive byte pattern changing when running the test multiple times. So that means something in my code was changing the underlying files. Apologies for that.

I did create a sample repo, and the test using 'persistArchive = true' passes on multiple runs.

So for my use case that just leaves # 1 regarding the file extension. This is really a minor inconvenience. It would be nice to be able to open the KMZ from the IDE to visually inspect in Google Earth. I don't think there is a way to interpret the file extension from a stream. It would probably have to be an additional parameter, ie.

await VerifyZip(kmzStream, persistArchive: true, archiveExtension: "kmz");

Another option would be to honor the archive file extension from the VerifyZip(string path) overload. I added the following test in the sample repo where I first save the archive and run VerifyZip passing the file path. This still produces a 'target.received.zip' when it should be able to pull the extension from the file path string.

        [Fact]
        public async Task VerifyZip_With_Persistence_From_File_Path()
        {
            // Arrange
            // Act
            using MemoryStream kmzStream = KmzGenerator.Generate();
            string filePath = Path.Combine(GetCurrentDirectory(), "test.kmz");
            using (FileStream fileStream = new(filePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
            {
                kmzStream.CopyTo(fileStream);
            }

            // Assert
            await VerifyZip(filePath, persistArchive: true);
        }

how about this https://github.com/VerifyTests/Verify/blob/main/docs/verify-zip.md#archiveextension

[AwkEng]

I've migrated all my tests to the following overload and its working great.

await` VerifyZip(stream, persistArchive: true, archiveExtension: "kmz");

Thanks for your efforts here. Verify just keeps getting better!

note that if stream is a FileStream it will detect the file extension, and u can omit archiveExtension: "kmz"

also. if u use beyond compare, u can enable comparison of kmz. https://github.com/VerifyTests/DiffEngine/blob/main/docs/diff-tool.md#notes
