RubyZip docx issues with write_buffer instead of open - ruby

Question

I'm adapting the RubyZip recursive zipping example (found here) to work with write_buffer instead of open and am coming across a host of issues. I'm doing this because the zip archive I'm producing has word documents in it and I'm getting errors on opening those word documents. Therefore, I'm trying the work-around that RubyZip suggests, which is using write_buffer instead of open (example found here).
The problem is, I'm getting errors because I'm using an absolute path, but I'm not sure how to get around that. I'm getting the error "#//', name must not start with />"
Second, I'm not sure what to do to mitigate the issue with word documents. When I used my original code, which worked and created an actual zip file, any word document in that zip file had the following error upon opening: "Word found unreadable content in Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes." The unreadable content error is the reason why I went down the road of attempting to use write_buffer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the code that I'm currently using:
require 'zip'
require 'zip/zipfilesystem'
module AdvisoryBoard
class ZipService
def initialize(input_dir, output_file)
#input_dir = input_dir
#output_file = output_file
end
# Zip the input directory.
def write
entries = Dir.entries(#input_dir) - %w[. ..]
path = ""
buffer = Zip::ZipOutputStream.write_buffer do |zipfile|
entries.each do |e|
zipfile_path = path == '' ? e : File.join(path, e)
disk_file_path = File.join(#input_dir, zipfile_path)
#file = nil
#data = nil
if !File.directory?(disk_file_path)
#file = File.open(disk_file_path, "r+b")
#data = #file.read
unless [#output_file, #input_dir].include?(e)
zipfile.put_next_entry(e)
zipfile.write #data
end
#file.close
end
end
zipfile.put_next_entry(#output_file)
zipfile.put_next_entry(#input_dir)
end
File.open(#output_file, "wb") { |f| f.write(buffer.string) }
end
end
end

I was able to get word documents to open without any warnings or corruption! Here's what I ended up doing:
require 'nokogiri'
require 'zip'
require 'zip/zipfilesystem'
class ZipService
# Initialize with the directory to zip and the location of the output archive.
def initialize(input_dir, output_file)
#input_dir = input_dir
#output_file = output_file
end
# Zip the input directory.
def write
entries = Dir.entries(#input_dir) - %w[. ..]
::Zip::File.open(#output_file, ::Zip::File::CREATE) do |zipfile|
write_entries entries, '', zipfile
end
end
private
# A helper method to make the recursion work.
def write_entries(entries, path, zipfile)
entries.each do |e|
zipfile_path = path == '' ? e : File.join(path, e)
disk_file_path = File.join(#input_dir, zipfile_path)
if File.directory? disk_file_path
recursively_deflate_directory(disk_file_path, zipfile, zipfile_path)
else
put_into_archive(disk_file_path, zipfile, zipfile_path, e)
end
end
end
def recursively_deflate_directory(disk_file_path, zipfile, zipfile_path)
zipfile.mkdir zipfile_path
subdir = Dir.entries(disk_file_path) - %w[. ..]
write_entries subdir, zipfile_path, zipfile
end
def put_into_archive(disk_file_path, zipfile, zipfile_path, entry)
if File.extname(zipfile_path) == ".docx"
Zip::File.open(disk_file_path) do |zip|
doc = zip.read("word/document.xml")
xml = Nokogiri::XML.parse(doc)
zip.get_output_stream("word/document.xml") {|f| f.write(xml.to_s)}
end
zipfile.add(zipfile_path, disk_file_path)
else
zipfile.add(zipfile_path, disk_file_path)
end
end
end
