The specified file name or path is too long

[seoushi]

I just ported my emacs setup to my m1 macbook pro which uses eglot and fsautocomplete for work with fsharp. While trying to find references it errors out and complains about the file path being too long. I'm not sure what file path it's trying but mine is even below the windows file path limit of 260 characters. In case it helps here is a link to the source code I'm trying it on https://seoushi.dynu.net/sean/inulang/-/blob/fsharp/inulang/inulang/Cli.fs . I've also seen this happen on my gentoo machine but it's not 100% as it is on my m1 macbook.

More Information: dotnet 6.0.302 fsautocomplete version 0.55.0+1fe4bb9fc5a7cedd00d35e34d347de2c74abe8b1

Here is the event log of the error from emacs. error.txt

Oh this is very weird - that's way down in the compiler itself. The inputs to that are always null for the path name, so I'm not entirely sure where to go from there.

Based on a cursory look you may be hitting this branch of the unix-specific memory-mapped file code: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/src/libraries/System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles/src/System/IO/MemoryMappedFiles/MemoryMappedFile.Unix.cs#L246-L267

Do you have a way of finding what SHM_NAME_MAX is on your system?

[seoushi]

I couldn't find a straight forward way to find that information so I wrote a small c program with shm_open and from trial and error it looks like the max is 31.

I think the fix for SHM_NAME_MAX on macOS was only fixed for dotnet/7:

• https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/68541#event-6626719635

I don't see the changes getting merged to the 6.0 branch:

• https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/release/6.0/src/libraries/System.IO.MemoryMappedFiles/src/System/IO/MemoryMappedFiles/MemoryMappedFile.Unix.cs

Good call, can you try installing a .net 7 preview and running FSAC with it? It should just work.

[seoushi]

I tried using dotnet 7.0.100 and while it no longer throws exceptions no results are given. Finding reference or definitions returns.

dotnet 6.0 at least worked with finding the definition so I will be returning to that. Given this is a dotnet issue feel free to close this issue. I recommend adding something in the readme for other mac m1 users tho. Thanks for all the help!

I can look into if there's something critical we fail with on 7.0.100 previews in the meantime.
