Description Sami RHATAY 2014-11-20 18:23:47 UTC

It seems that a too long working directory path in file bblayers.conf provoke an error during patching linux-yocto.

After some researches, I changed the working directory path of my project by a shorter one and after do_patch succeeded.

I changed the working directory path from '/home/opengraphvirt/open_graph_virt_a/developpements/compilation_tizen/yocto' to '/home/opengraphvirt/yocto' . 

The build configuration :

BUILD_SYS         = "x86_64-linux"

Comment 1 Bruce Ashfield 2014-11-27 15:56:55 UTC

Forgot to accept this earlier. I'll have a look .. but it is likely just more nasty PATH_MAX
issues, which I can deal with.

Comment 2 Bruce Ashfield 2017-09-14 15:33:14 UTC

I'm holding onto this one.

Comment 3 Bruce Ashfield 2019-05-22 20:53:41 UTC

This is not popping up often (at all), so I'm moving this to 2.99 to clear cycles for more pressing issues.

Comment 4 Randy MacLeod 2021-05-27 15:19:12 UTC

We think this might have been fixed. Tony will try to reproduce it on master.

Comment 5 Yoann Congal 2023-06-01 15:11:46 UTC

This bug and the linked fix may apply to this bug :
12374 – do_rootfs failed when len(TMPDIR) == 410
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12374

Comment 6 Randy MacLeod 2023-06-08 00:30:51 UTC

Nat is doing some test builds of:

$ bitbake -c patch linux-yocto on master.

to see if this fails before the sqlite3 check, that Yoann mentioned, kicks in.
So far a depth of 328 is fine and 504 is the limit for sqlite3.

Comment 7 Natasha Bailey 2023-06-08 21:51:37 UTC

Tried to reproduce on Mickledore and wasn't able to. Here are my steps:
1. Did a normal build with a normal path length to ensure everything was working
2. Created a super long working path and moved the poky directory into that path
3. Ran bitbake -c patch linux-yocto in that new subdirectory with a path length of 350 characters (see below)

$ pwd
/server-wxyz/nbailey/long-dirname-testing/aaaaaaaaaa/bbbbbbbbbb/cccccccccc/dddddddddd/eeeeeeeeee/ffffffffff/gggggggg
gg/hhhhhhhhhh/iiiiiiiiii/jjjjjjjjjj/kkkkkkkkkk/llllllllll/mmmmmmmmmm/nnnnnnnnnn/oo
oooooooo/pppppppppp/qqqqqqqqqq/rrrrrrrrrr/ssssssssss/tttttttttt/uuuuuuuuuu/vvvvvvv
vvv/wwwwwwwwww/xxxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyyyy/zzzzzzzzzz/aaaaaaaaaa/poky/build
$ pwd | wc
      1       1     350

... and got a successful build.
4. Repeated steps 2 and 3 for some different path lengths (427 characters, 482 characters, and 471 characters)

I only encountered a failure when the path length was 482, which triggered the sqlite check for database path length > 504 characters, which is something that is already known about as a separate issue. Going to mark this as resolved.
