"path too long" error on Windows from cargo prisma "generate" about spacedrive HOT 4 CLOSED

This is strange considering that others have had success with building Spacedrive on Windows. I notice you're using 1.62.0-nightly rather than 1.60.0 stable, is there a particular reason you are doing so? The recommended Rust version for Spacedrive is 1.60.0. I doubt that is causing the path length issue though.

@oscartbeaumont Any ideas?

Ah, no other reason for the nightly than pnpm prep earlier complaining about needing something from the nightly toolchain, but I guess my stuff was just plain too old :)

FWIW got the same thing on 1.60.0, but since:

• the offending pathname is just over the limit at 265 chars
• I've got a long username due to corporate policy :D
• both scoop and rustup make the path longer

...I can easily believe that I'd just be the first unlucky sod to hit this limit.

From what I can tell, long file paths are an outstanding issue in Cargo and there's not really anything we can do about it 😅

Progress is being tracked here: rust-lang/cargo#9770

Will close this for now due to the previous comment about it being an issue within Cargo — nothing we will be able to do until this gets fixed upstream :( #118 (comment)
