Vlado Pakan commented on JBIDE-13112:
-------------------------------------

Yes shortening path for jenkins jobs workspace works. It will work unless longer path is added to git repo(s).

It's not nice for users which wanna clone our repo to directory with longer absolute path to get this error. I think length of path to source file/directory within our repos should be resonable what i think is not case for string "dependentScopedProducerFieldReturnsNonSerializableObjectForInjectionIntoStatefulSessionBean" used as name for subdirectory. It's 92 characters long. And what is worse it's not clear immediately when git clone command fails that reason is long absolute path. Error message from git clone command it's not saying it clearly and user needs some time to find out what went wrong.

Probably developers and QE would have to take care to use paths short enought. I don't know about any way how to ensure this using some tools.

It happened on MS Windows XP 64 bit.

> Absolute paths to our sources are too long for MS Windows.
> When running build on Jenkins git clone command is failing because git is not able to extract source files to MS Windows file system because absolute path to extracted file/directory is longer than 256 characters.
> For example:
> - extracted file: 
> {code}
> https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-javaee/tree/master/cdi/tests/org.jboss.tools.cdi.core.test/resources/tck/tests/context/passivating/broken/dependentScopedProducerFieldReturnsNonSerializableObjectForInjectionIntoStatefulSessionBean
> {code}
> - path to extract to on MS Windows:
> {code}
> C:\hudson\workspace\jbosstools-trunk.jsf.bot.tests.codecoverage\modules/cdi/tests/org.jboss.tools.cdi.core.test/resources/tck/tests/context/passivating/broken/dependentScopedProducerFieldReturnsNonSerializableObjectForInjectionIntoStatefulSessionBean
> {code}
