Path names are too long for windows #256

Closed petehayes closed 9 years ago

petehayes commented 9 years ago

I am running into the Windows 260 character limit for file paths. The .tmp structure is highly nested and ends up generating paths beyond the limit. The file the library trips up on is:

c:/ws/vm-prpc-ready-rh65-pg91-tc7-j7/puppet/.tmp/librarian/cache/source/puppet/forge/forgeapi_puppetlabs_com/puppetlabs-postgresql/4.0.0/cache/tmp-unpacker20140922-7768-h352q1/puppetlabs-postgresql-4.0.0/spec/unit/functions/postgresql_acls_to_resources_hash_spec.rb

Can the path be shortened some to avoid this issue?

I use the config command to change the location of cache to somewhere short:

librarian-puppet config tmp c:/temp --global

Thank you, that worked for me. Too bad I need to use Windows...

...wait until something tries to make symlinks :(

Man, this issue drove me for at least 4 hours until I found out windows complaining the path is too long... Why this is not getting fixed? .tmp should just move out from the current path of puppet...
