[jira] [Updated] (INFRA-10724) Windows path too long on Jenkins & Git

["Gavin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-10724?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Gavin updated INFRA-10724:
--------------------------
    Status: Waiting for user  (was: Waiting for Infra)

'Git for Windows' is a fork/replacement for msysgit; you have a mixture of the two above.

I have been using 'Git for Windows' on our Windows boxes for couple of years now so will stick to that.
I have upgraded our current version and enabled longpaths; give it a whirl.

> Please enable Git variable "core.longPaths=true" on all GIT commands in Jenkins Windows build [8]. IMHO this should work at least for clone and git clean -fdx.
> Please install  MsysGit 2.6.2  as prereq.
> This should workaround the GIT errors when "git clean -fdx" commands failed on long file paths.
> As found by our discussions [1] in closed blockers, all the issues we had on Jenkins [5] in Surefire project was caused by long path on Windows.
> This can be fixed by using git variable "core.longpaths" [2] MsysGit 2.6.2 [3]. See the Release Notes [4].
> An example on how to apply the variable [6] in reality:
> git clone -c core.longPaths=true ...
> The variable was fixed or introduced in Git 2.6.2, see GitHub issue [7].
