Android Question [SOLVED] B4A v13.0 BETA - error -> "The filename or extension is too long."

scsjc · Jul 18, 2024

I just followed steps https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...is-available-for-download.162136/#post-994570,
And I'm getting an error saying "The filename or extension is too long."
I'm not sure which name it is referring to. Any help?

I've uploaded beta #4. The compilation window should include the javac input. Please run your project (from the IDE) and post the full text.

Finally, I have moved parts of the code that were using DesignSupport (to new code), which I already knew was very incompatible.

By directly removing the DesignSupport library, everything works fine now
(I suppose the string length is significantly reduced, preventing the "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005)" error).

My mistake. Let me try again...

Uploaded beta #5. It should now list the arguments when the error happens. Please run it in the IDE and post the output.

The line that is marked between ************* I haven't been able to copy entirely from the MS-DOS console, and I've put in the parts I could (some parts are missing).

So the longer package-name extension or longer path is not a problem ?

yes, for me work with any extension or longer path

Just out of interest was the command line changed to use @afile.txt for the classpath?

The usage of the arguments file isn't new, however there were some cases where it wasn't used while apparently it was needed.

The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Not sure if its related to this thread. This error with beta #6. is this normal?

I thing the problem is long routes directory and filenames. you must short routes.

Daestrum · Aug 21, 2024

Your path is 193 characters long - when you add /objects/src/ then your.package.name then add the src file names, you probably exceed the limits.
