I think under Windows XP, the path can only be 256 characters, see

I'd rant about how weak NTFS is here, but I'm just waking up :-)

Was the error a Windows error? How were you copying the directory? From
the UI by dragging the icon or by using a command such as copy or cygwin cp?

I just renamed that file to make it shorter:
svn mv ConstraintCheck_FSM_MultiplePorts_MultipleStates_Transitions_NoActions.xml ConstraintCheckFSMMulti.xml

I hit this same error on the nightly builds. It's mainly because of how SVN duplicates all of the files in the .svn directories making the paths even longer. For the nightly build, I remove the .svn directories before trying to do anything on windows. There isn't much we can do about this other than change the name of some of the files.

It looks like longest files are properties tests.
I ran
find . -type f | awk '{print length($0), $0}' > /tmp/f2
bash-3.2$ sort -nr /tmp/f2 | head

I'll see if Jackie can shorten these file names.

Ditto

Was the error a Windows error? How were you copying the directory? From
the UI by dragging the icon or by using a command such as copy or cygwin cp?

It was a windows error dialog, and I was doing the copy using Copy/Paste in the File Manager, or File Explorer. (whatever it is called now)

I just renamed that file to make it shorter:
svn mv
ConstraintCheck_FSM_MultiplePorts_MultipleStates_Transitions_NoActions.xml
ConstraintCheckFSMMulti.xml

Just an update on the long-line length problem.
The issue is that certain file systems have limits
and svn makes the paths even longer.

The biggest problem is ptolemy/data/properties, which is not
shipped in Ptolemy II 8.0.beta.
The second biggest problem is ptolemy/cg, which is also
not shipped in 8.0.beta.
However, both these directories are in the subversion tree.

I took a look at the lengths in the ptII8.1.devel tar file
and the longest path is now 175 chars.

In the ptII8.0.beta tar file, the longest path is
128 characters.

In the 8.1.beta subversion tree, the longest file is now 187 chars,
down from 211 characters as reported earlier.

Below are the commands I used to find long files:
[bldmastr@sisyphus ~/ptII]$ find . -name adm -prune -o -type f | awk '{print length($0), $0}' > /tmp/f2
[bldmastr@sisyphus ~/ptII]$ sort -nr /tmp/f2 | head

187 ./ptolemy/data/properties/lattice/logicalOrBackward/test/auto/trainedConstraints/.svn/text-base/AtomicActor_2inputs_SinglePort_2outputs_Singleport__logicalOrBackward_resolved.txt.svn-base

The first non-data.properties file has a length of 152 characters.
In the 8.0.beta subversion branch, the longest file is 141 characters.

So, to close this bug, we need to pull data.properties from the ptII release.

ptolemy.data.properties has been removed.
That package used to contain files with long names.
I added test to https://kepler-project.org/developers/reference/kepler-installer-checklist
that the filename length should be checked.

We are at 206 characters, so I'm closing this.
