Filename longer than 260 characters Error on React Native Fabric

[alexhernandez]

Hi 👋, I've been getting the following error on android only when building a react native app with Hermes and Fabric enabled. Not sure if this a known issue or if anyone knows a solution for this.

My Issue:

ninja: error: Stat(safeareacontext_autolinked_build/CMakeFiles/react_codegen_safeareacontext.dir/E_/Workspace/Build.Android.qaRelease/node_modules/react-native-safe-area-context/android/build/generated/source/codegen/jni/react/renderer/components/safeareacontext/safeareacontextJSI-generated.cpp.o): Filename longer than 260 characters

I have same issue

[sebasg0]

trying to find a fix, I will notify u if I find one and please also lmk if u are able to fix it

[sebasg0]

Just reduce the path, I placed the directory in the root and it worked. Then after that you will face another issue with a missing file, for that you will have to use ndkVersion = "25.2.9519653"

I placed the directory in the root and it worked.
