don't really know but i tried with that filename :
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.pdf
(which containt 111 a if you trust me :) and get the error ticket ,
showing this last call
File "C:\Users\M\Desktop\web2py_src\web2py\gluon\sql.py", line 2699,
in store
dest_file = open(pathfilename, 'wb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Users\\M\\Desktop\
\web2py_src\\web2py\\applications\\Library/databases\\..\\uploads\
\books.file.acf7b28c26fb29c3.6161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161616161.pdf'
(the filename is 205 characters long ,but pathfilename is proably
bigger). Do you know if the 255 limit is python limit ? Where does it
come from ?
any idea how to sort it out without changing the pathfilename to a
shorter version(actually the generated filename could be changed to
something shorter but i don t know where it is generated )?
M
BTW , i use 1.79.2
