Do you have the zip extension available?

[holyboly]

Yes, this code runs without problems:

Artisan::command('dev:test', function () {
    $zip = new \ZipArchive();
    $this->info('no error');
});

Same problem here on Ubuntu 22.04, in my case I solved by downgrading php from 8.3 to 8.2 and reinstalling the zip extension.

Does it mean that it can't work with php8.3?
I am getting the same problem with installed zip extension

I am using the php docker image FROM php:8.1.16-apache, so it does not seem to be an PHP 8.3 issue?
Not sure why, but the class ZipArchive cannot be found, even if I add a namespace to the config file /vendor/spatie/laravel-backup/config/backup.php, like 'compression_method' => \ZipArchive::CM_DEFAULT,.

i have same problem here. but in my proble, i try upgrade my laravel from 8 to 10 instead 8 to 9 to 10

Got same problem on Windows. Fixed by enabling zip extension in php.ini file.

extension=./ext/php_zip.dll

Just happened to me. In Laravel 10 (upgraded from 8, 9), the extension is already enabled, using the Laravel Homestead environment, so I'm not sure how it goes. But it happened after installing PHP 8.3, just a guess because this installation was the last modification I did.

Had the same issue while migrating from Laravel 9 to 10 and using PHP 8.3. Just fixed it by adding libzip-dev and installing the extension:

apt update && apt install -y libzip-dev
docker-php-ext-install zip
