System.IO.PathTooLongException: 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.
The issue because octopus is extracting the content to the root of the octpus directory , i am not able to set a custom extract location from octopus , the install to custom location feature first extracts it to the root then copy , instead of extracting to the provided path so even thats not helping
Question
is there a way to solve the path too long issue
or is there a way to provide custom extract destination
As detailed here packages will be extracted to the Applications folder within the Tentacle home folder.
If your tentacle home folder is different to the default $:\Octopus then you could move this folder as shown here.
The only other option would be to change the filename of your package to have fewer characters.
@paul.calvert it would be great to have a configuration “customExtractLocation” feature where we can override this behavior (like the custominstallationlocation)
We have a user voice site where new feature suggestions can be raised and voted on. This would be a good place to raise your suggestion.
One possible workaround for you may be to use the Transfer package step instead of the deploy step and then add a script to extract the package in whichever location you require.
