Compile error – file name too long?

[AngusParticipant]

I’ve just received this error message from the compiler:

I added the “x”s at the end of the filename test2 just to be sure.  When they’re not in the filename it compiles ok.

I’m not 100% confident I’ve got MSVC installed correctly, my code seems to run ok otherwise.  Is there a setting somewhere that’d allow me to get around this?

Obviously, I could just clean up my work folders and shorten their names, which I’ll probably do anyway

The code that generated the error was this,  it was just a small test which I only post here to be certain it’s not just my imagination that it otherwise runs fine:

Yes you have to use short paths or you may encounter filepath too long errors. The max paths length depends on the os. There is already an issue on github about that. But well it works fine if you use short paths (like C:/mx2-projects/myproject).

[AngusParticipant]

Oh, didn’t realise it was already known.  I’ll have to get more familiar with github, thanks!

The code that generated the error was this,

I think there may be something weird  going on here in general.

What was the full path of the monkey2 source file?

What was the full path of the monkey2 installation?

[AngusParticipant]

The source is here:

C:\Users\Angus\Documents\Code\Monkey2\EditorCurrent\code\ManagedObjects\test2xxxxxxxxx.monkey2

Without the Xs, it runs.

The Monkey2 installation is:

C:\Monkey2-v1.1.08

Thanks Angus, I will take a look soon-ish

[AngusParticipant]

Not exactly a priority, for me personally, just more info.  Making my folders acceptable is probably much higher priority.
