Puppet / PUP-8257 Puppet::FileSystem::Windows should support LFN Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2017/12/15 9:59 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Jacob Helwig As mentioned in PUP-4866 & PUP-6152, there is support for using long file names greater than 260 characters in Windows by using the "\\?\" prefix. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite work with Ruby's normal file path handling, as it also uses "/" on Windows as the path separator, and this needs to be converted to "\" for the "\\?\" prefix to work. Because of the requirement to translate "/" to "\" on the final file path for the "\\?\" LFN prefix to work, we should probably be putting the LFN support directly in to Puppet::FileSystem::Windows, and making sure that we are not using the native Ruby file path handling methods (Eg: File.expand_path, File.join, etc.) anywhere, and are using the Puppet::FileSystem versions instead.

Re: Puppet::FileSystem::Windows should support LFN If we want to land this in Puppet::FileSystem it might make sense to add to the epic PUP-7557 As much as I hate the idea, this might need to be one place where we monkey-patch Ruby classes to fix broken functionality, because there's a number of 3rd party locations (like in minitar) where we won't be able to change the original gem code.  Food for thought as further work happens here.

Re: Puppet::FileSystem::Windows should support LFN I use puppet on Windows server to deploy a 3rd party application which contains quite long path. And it seems that I'm impacted by this issue I tried to : shorten the deployment path to a minimum, but it's not enough for some files. use the archive module to wrap the long path into a zip, but it's not as clean as the file resource Until it is fixed, do you know another workaround about issue ?

Re: Puppet::FileSystem::Windows should support LFN It should also work if long path have been enabled. See [Enable Long Paths in Windows 10, Version 1607, and Later https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=cmd#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later]. For example, the purge attribute of the file resource fails when it tries to remove entries with a path longer than 260 characters with an error like this  Err: No such file or directory @ <entry> - C:/<longPath>

Re: Puppet::FileSystem::Windows should support LFN Jacob Helwig, following the fix in https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PA-3759, is this still an issue?
