Hello, I am trying to unzip the install files to upload via FTP. I have shortened the file name to c.zip and placed it on the route of my drive to shorten the path to files. Even after doing this I get 7586 errors using win-rar (unable to use unzip). The issues primarily deal with files inside the “node_modules” folder. Here is a snipet of the errors I get.

! F:\C.zip: Cannot create folder classico\node_modules\grunt-contrib-imagemin\node_modules\imagemin\node_modules\imagemin-gifsicle\node_modules\gifsicle\node_modules\bin-wrapper\node_modules

\bin-version-check\node_modules\bin-version\node_modules\find-versions\node_modules\semver-regex
The filename or extension is too long.
! F:\C.zip: Cannot create classico\node_modules\grunt-contrib-imagemin\node_modules\imagemin\node_modules\imagemin-gifsicle\node_modules\gifsicle\node_modules\bin-wrapper\node_modules\bin-

version-check\node_modules\bin-version\node_modules\find-versions\node_modules\semver-regex\index.js
Total path and file name length must not exceed 260 characters
The system cannot find the path specified.

Hi, basically all 3 links said the same which is what I did before writing the comment. The problem is that even when doing other changes like renaming the “classico” theme folder to 1 character like “C” I still have 280 character path from root:
F:\c\node_modules\grunt-contrib-imagemin\node_modules\imagemin\node_modules\imagemin-gifsicle\node_modules\gifsicle\node_modules\bin-wrapper\node_modules\download\node_modules\got\node_modules\read-all-stream\node_modules\readable-stream\node_modules\process-nextick-args\index.js

Hello,

Did you try this solution?

Place the zip file in your root directory (ie. c:\ d:\) and extract the contents from there. Repeat as necessary. I might also try opening the zip file with the Windows Explorer, right clicking on the contents and hitting “copy” and then go to your C:\ drive and do a paste.

Are you able to extract the archive on other PC?

Regards,
Eva Kemp.

As mentioned above I have unzipped in the root folder (though I typed route). I also provided the path that showed it was in the root. I have attempted to unzip on a different computer and the file is “invalid”.

With a quick google search it appears that there is an issue with “grunt” and file paths being too long… though it may be in conjunction with something else you are doing. What appears to be a solution is to “flatten” your build.

I have limited knowledge on the subject on how grunt works or how this theme was built but I do know that there is a 260 character path limit within windows and your current “installable” file will not unzip or upload to a site to be installed.

This was not an issue in version 1.2 (or maybe earlier, I bought the theme 2 months ago) but is now one in version 1.3.

With the removal of the node_modules folder I can upload and unzip.

No. The issue is not resolved… its something your developers need to figure out. I’m just providing you with information for a solution. I can not unzip the file nor can I upload to install because of the path length of files within the node_modules folder.
