Cannot create symlink to '../.js': File name too long

[juliomac]

I am getting "Failed to complete server initialisation" and Debug shows several lines saying "Cannot create symlink to '../.js': File name too long", ending with "tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors" and "meteor-azure: Could not unpack bundle".

I am trying to install an exact copy of latest Rocket Chat Meteor app (for testing before uploading a customized one).

I have tried this $ git config core.symlinks false, according to this: https://github.com/Urigo/IonicCLI-Meteor-WhatsApp/issues/4# , but it did not have any effect.

I've adjusted the bundling in v2.1.1 to dereference symlinks. Can you try with that and let me know if you see any further errors?

[juliomac]

Hi @ramijarrar ! Thanks for the update! It seems like it did fix the symlink issue. It has passed this phase without any problems. See here:

debug:   create tarball
info:    ChatLibertas: Deploying bundle tarball
info:    ChatLibertas: Running server initialisation
info:    ChatLibertas: Polling server status...

However it did not finish the build. Below see what I think it is the most important part of the Debug log regarding this new issue (please tell me if you need the rest):

The issue seems to be related to The Intermediate directory or Output directory cannot reside under the Temporary directory as it could lead to issues with incremental build..

Then it cannot find it Cannot open include file: 'array': No such file or directory [D:\local\Temp\8d6b6baf59591bc\bundle\programs\server\npm\node_modules\tiny-secp256k1\build\secp256k1.vcxproj]
