Stefán Freyr Stefánsson commented on GROOVY-7166:
-------------------------------------------------
Really? I'm not too familiar with the way groovy gets compiled so I apologize
for the dumb question but is there no mechanism that checks whether the
generated classes have a file name that is too long? Even if you're not using
ecryptfs you will have a 255 character limitation to the filename. How (if at
all) does groovy handle that? Does it just fail? Or is there something else
that would inhibit the creation of a file that has such a long name?
