Failed Upload to Needle Cloud

Hello there!
I’m trying to upload my project to Needle Cloud.
I’m receiving this following error:

Error: [needle-buildpipeline] - Build pipeline failed. Check the logs for more information.

ERR: failed to process file "/Users/{UserName}/{ProjectName}/Needle/MiniPortal/dist/assets/MiniPortal.glb", Reason: ENAMETOOLONG: name too long, open '/var/folders/ft/kxhr3z9x1jg6tqhqyppdn8vnv_bp30/T/Needle/build-pipeline-cache/2_8_0_alpha_2/mesh_lod_1_-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-2154244538-353199750-656049844.meta'

Any idea of how to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Ronchito!

The error message you’re encountering, ENAMETOOLONG, indicates that the file name being generated during the upload process is too long for the filesystem to handle. This often occurs when there are too many nested paths or excessive repetitions in the naming convention for the files being processed.

Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue:

  1. Check Your File Names: Look for files within your project that may have excessively long names. Try renaming these files to something shorter.

  2. Reduce File Nesting: If you have many nested directories, consider flattening the structure of your files.

  3. Batch Export with Fewer Assets: If the error persists, sometimes exporting and uploading fewer assets concurrently may help avoid the long name generation by reducing complexity.

  4. Temporary Clean-Up: Clear the build pipeline cache located at /var/folders/.../Needle/build-pipeline-cache/ as temporary files here could contribute to such issues.

  5. Examine Logs: Check the detailed logs mentioned in the error for further clues on which file(s) or processes are causing this issue.

If you’re still facing difficulties after trying these suggestions, please let me know, and we can explore further solutions!

You can refer to the API documentation for more guidance on file handling and uploads as well: Needle Engine API.

Feel free to ask if you need more assistance!

Hi @Roni_Lekar Can you share the MiniPortal.glb with us so we can try to reproduce this? Thanks

I might be able to share the file later with you.
In the meantime, I started getting a new error when trying to publish to Needle Cloud:

Info: Add 'pre-build' script to your package.json to run it before building (For example to run 'tsc' to make sure your code compiles)

Could you please provide an example?
What’s the path of the package.json that is being referred there?

Packages/com.needle.engine-exporter/package.json, Packages/com.needle.engine-samples/package.json,
Packages/com.needle.engine-exporter/Core/Editor/Projects/Templates/Vite/package.json,
etc…

And how will it actually look like in the file?
For example:

"scripts": {
  "pre-build": "tsc",
  "build": "vite build"
}

Then I receive the following error:

Build failed and can not continue deployment. See console for errors

I appreciate any advice on how to resolve this.

Hi, the “pre-build” snippet is not an error.

Please check the rest of the Unity logs for other errors above. Unfortunately this is not enough information.

Also please include the package version of your Unity package.
