Azure Wep App CI/CD Deployment failing - Filename too long

Mgcini Mkwananzi 1

Hi guys,

I'm trying to deploy my Web App using Azure Continous Deployment using a Git Repo and I'm getting this error:

error: unable to create file wp-content/plugins/bridge-core/modules/shortcodes/shortcode-elements/split-scrolling-section/assets/css/scss/responsive/_split-scrolling-section-responsive.scss: Filename too long\nSwitched to branch 'uat'\n\r\nD:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe checkout uat --force

This has been working for many years and now I get this error. No change has been made to that file nor is it a new file.

Thanks for reaching here! The checkout may fail due to exceeding file path length of 260 character limit. Decreasing the file path length may help. If you are using YAML builds, Could you try running below script before the Checkout task that runs

git config --system core.longpaths true

That should be helpful, let us know.
