Build fails with "filename too long"

[Philipp Wieseckel]

We try to build a .Net Application on a local runner on Windows Server 2019. Unfortunately the build fails with the error of "filename too long".

Hi Philip,

I don't think that issue will be specific to Bitbucket.

Windows has its own max lenght for file names. With GIT there are ways to circumvent this.

Do you know if the error occurs after executing a git command in the build? (clone, fetch, checkout, ...)

If it's the case you can follow this article to set core.longpath. The article for Bamboo but it should be the same for any Windows server using GIT.
