Creating zip file in notebook

Question

I got bunch of .delta table which in need to save as .json and zip them to supply it thrid party tool for futher processing.&nbsp;I was able to get all .delta tables into .json files, but getting erro when zipping them.My .json files are in folder&nbsp;&nbsp;'Files/temp/consolidated/'&nbsp;&nbsp;Now i want them to zip them all into 'sample.zip' ... he is my code, not sure what am doing wrong zipf.write can find the json_file_path though is right.&nbsp; Any clues?? or is there different way to do it?&nbsp;&nbsp;with zipfile.ZipFile('sample.zip', 'w') as zipf:
    for f in filenames:
        json_file_path = f"Files/temp/consolidated/{f}"
        print (json_file_path)
        zipf.write(json_file_path,arcname=f)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Microsoft Fabric Context: The Fabric environment uses a virtual file system, which doesn’t provide direct file path access as in traditional file systems.zipfile.ZipFile.write Limitation: This method expects a direct file path, which isn't available for Fabric paths.&nbsp;&nbsp;

not sure what am doing wrong
It's pretty clear that what you are trying to do is not supported. Don't use zipFile - use its in-memory equivalent, whatever that is.

Thanks lbendlin for the reply, do you got any sample code using in-memory to do this zipping for files or any links.&nbsp;&nbsp;

BytesIO , I guess.

Hi&nbsp;VenDaFabricator&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Maybe you can mount the lakehouse&nbsp;through the Microsoft Spark Utilities package? Mount would allow you to&nbsp;use the local file API to access data&nbsp;under the mount point&nbsp;as if it's stored in the local file system.

I haven't used it to create zip files, you can give it a try.
