Compile may fail due to character limit imposed by Docker
Closed this issue · 4 comments
It seems Docker has a built-in character limit - please refer to Docker Issue #1443.
Because of this, some compilation of the Scala files may fail due length of the filename.
I'm not sure if there's anything could be done about this, but perhaps a mention in the documentation would be helpful.
I'll make a fork, update the docs, and do a pull request.
@fsat, yeah, that sounds like a great plan!
Could you please provide an example of this issue? I never ran into the char limit.
The issue is more a limitation of the docker storage driver. AUFS has a max filename length of 242 (smaller than the 255 limit of most FSes). AUFS is the default storage driver on Ubuntu, and boot2docker. Try setting -Xmax-classfile-name 240 as a scalac option to work around it.
Or use overlay2.
