Describe the issue

We have a few solution where their solution components have really long names.

Also, these same solutions are named with very long names (at or close to 50 characters long).

Every attempt at exporting these solutions via ALM Accelerator causes an error when the export pipeline tries to execute the "pac - Clone or Sync Solution"
image

Expected Behavior

Would like to be able to export solutions that might be named with long names and be able to export solutions that have components named with long names.

What component are you experiencing the issue with?

ALM Accelerator Pipelines

What solution version are you using?

November 2023

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Create a solution with a name that's long. For example, create a solution with the name "ReallyLongSolutionNameIMeanLikeVeryVeryLon"
  2. Create a component within the solution and provide it a really long name. For example, create an environment variable with the name "ReallyLongEnvironmentVariableNameLikeAsLongAsTheyLetMeMakeItWhichIsLongerThanTheSolutionButThat"
  3. Attempt to deploy the solution via ALM Accelerator.
  4. An error similar to what's shown here will occur:
    image
    The error message usually states Error: Could not find a part of the path '...'

Anything else?

@bnc-cvx It's a known Windows OS issue related to long paths, as mentioned here. Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done about it. You may want to refer to the similar github issue #5964 and check if the workaround mentioned there works for you.

Use absolute output path prefixed with \\?\. This turns on long paths on Windows. I just tested it and it fixes this problem.
