The path is too long. Not sure why go-ethereum limits it so heavily. Please try with -no-namespace option but remember to remove the whole dir if you use different key.

Actually, it's unix thing: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/367008/why-is-socket-path-length-limited-to-a-hundred-chars

decanus commented 5 years ago

@adambabik any way we can hack that by creating a symlink?

mandrigin commented 5 years ago

theoretically you should be able to workaround that by not using the absolute path for a socket. or by putting the socket to /var/run or to /tmp (usual practices).

decanus commented 5 years ago

@mandrigin sounds simple enough

adambabik commented 5 years ago

@decanus or just start with -data-dir=/tmp/test-dir. It will fit into the 108 char bufor for sure.
