[Help Wanted] Running the Samples locally #205

Closed DevCisse closed 3 years ago

DevCisse commented 3 years ago

I am trying to the samples locally. I don't know If I am doing it correctly though. For instance, the Todo sample on visual studio I selected 'scope to this ' and try to run I get this error.

Hmm I haven't seen this before. It's complaining about MAX_PATH, which is a Windows limit of 260 chars. Can you try moving the whole solution to a shorter path? So instead of E:\MobileBlazorbindings-master\MobileBlazorbindings-master\... maybe E:\MBB\..? At least just to see if that's the only problem.

Okay. I will try that.

That was the only problem. Its working now. Thanks

Glad you got it working! I'm not sure why the Android stuff failed with MAX_PATH because these days I think most apps aren't restricted by it, but certainly some still are.

I'm leaving this bug open so I can see if I can get to the bottom of this.

Hahaha anyone ever trying to develop java code knows this issue. I have a c:\o\ directory for the openHAB source code for especially this reason. The endless nesting of namespaces and full class names typically trigger this.

Will love to participate

It looks like this is a common enough problem that there is a doc on how to work around the issue: https://docs.microsoft.com/xamarin/android/troubleshooting/questions/path-too-long-exception

I'm closing this issue here because it is external to the project.
