Unarchiver

Current configuration of the Unarchiver task in the Workflow Designer
  • Task type: unarchiver

Description​

The "Unarchiver" task allows you to decompress archives, enabling the extraction of data into custom destination directories.

Configuration Parameters​

  • Input path: archive to decompress. You can use a parameter produced by a previous Task, for example #>archivio.file<#.
  • Output path: directory where the files contained in the archive will be extracted.
  • Format to decompress: dropdown to select the archive format (zip, tar, tar.gz, bzip2, tar.bz2, gzip).
  • Create path if not exists: if selected, automatically creates the destination folder if it is not already present on the filesystem.
  • Overwrite: if enabled, overwrites any files already present in the output path with the same name.
  • Set Password: allows you to enter the encryption key for protected archives.

Note​

This option is visible and usable only if the selected format is zip.

Output Parameters​

  • filepath: absolute path of the directory where the files were extracted (the Output path).
  • resultJson: represents the result of the task execution in JSON format.
