File name or extension is too long, but length is 118, well under 260.�� So���.

Failed to stat file?�� Is that supposed to be ���start���?

Hello,

The screenshot cuts off the error, but it may be the problem with file names that are too long in libgit2.

It's a controversial problem in libgit2 for at least six years. https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/1899

Hitting this problem is what drove me to install WSL on Windows 10 and use Pharo that way, effectively not using Windows 10 for Pharo.

Other workarounds exist, including a short image name in the launcher, putting image folders at the root level, telling Pharo to put iceberg repos in a fixed directory closer to the root, etc. You want a way to prevent a Pharo file path that's longer than 260 chars. 

Cheers,

Cris

All you need to do is evaluating the following expression in a playground.

I suggest you do it in a fresh image.

Metacello new 
   baseline: 'PharoJS';
   repository: 'github://bouraqadi/PharoJS';
   load

That was one of the tests mentioned.   See the screenshot below.  The problem seems Git-related:

Hi.

Can someone explain exactly how to install the latest version of PharoJS,
and verify that the proedure really works?

I've tried:

1) cloning the PharoJS repo in Pharo 8.0 with Iceberg, and get a Not Loaded
final state for the repo.
2) loading into Pharo 7, 6.1, and 5 using

Metacello new
   baseline: 'PharoJS';
   repository: 'github://bouraqadi/PharoJS';
   load

All tries fail with a walkback.

3) loading into Pharo 4.0 using

Gofer it
smalltalkhubUser: 'noury' project: 'PharoJS';
addPackage: #ConfigurationOfPharoJS ;
loadStable.

The walkback here mentions missing dependency RBGlobalNode.


Suggestions are welcome.  

Thanks.
