Node - attempt to zip directory does not do anyting - node.js

Question

I'm trying to archive an entire folder using Node, archiver and fs, but nothing seems to happen.
This is my implementation:
import { createWriteStream } from 'fs';
import archiver from 'archiver';
await zipDirectory('./work', './work/folderName.zip');
const zipDirectory = async (source: string, out: string): Promise<void> => {
const archive = archiver('zip', { zlib: { level: 9 }});
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const stream = createWriteStream(out);
archive
.directory(source, false)
.on('error', err => reject(err))
.pipe(stream);
stream.on('close', () => resolve());
archive.finalize();
});
}
Running on Node 14.15.4

Please advise on how I can resolve this?

Answer 1

Issue was caused because I did not create the directory to where I wanted to store the zip file.
Once I added the directory creation at startup everything worked.
