Stefán Freyr Stefánsson commented on GROOVY-7166:
-------------------------------------------------
There is quite some time since this was reported but in case anyone stumbles in
here (as I did) I'd like to add that this may have been due to ecryptfs.
Groovyc seems to be generating filenames that are too long for the 143
character max limitation of that.
For more info see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ecryptfs/+bug/344878
I had this problem when trying to compile the IntelliJ IDEA community project.
When I moved the directory out of my (encrypted) home directory, I was able to
compile it.
The problem here seems to be that groovyc is not querying the filesystem for
the max filename lenght. As mentioned in the above ecryptfs bug report, groovyc
should be using the statfs() syscall to query for the max filename length which
will be correctly reported as 143 by ecryptfs filesystems and should take
actions accordingly if generated files exceed that limit.
