Long filepaths for ElmerSolver input

[nikosavola]

I tried running ElmerSolver for a sif file with a very long filepath containing hashes and timestamps but it failed due to

ERROR:: MAIN: Unable to find input file [/tmp/swp/session_2023-08-02_13-49-14_791016_1175879/runtime_resources/working_dir_files/tmp/add7326a134a4d29add7c4ed910ea4ae/set], can not execute.
STOP 1

where the file to run would have been called setup.sif at the end. The amount of characters in the error is 128, which makes me assume this is set by MAX_NAME_LEN or MAX_STRING_LEN in

elmerfem/fem/src/Types.F90

Line 57 in b72e8ce

INTEGER, PARAMETER :: MAX_NAME_LEN = 128, MAX_STRING_LEN=2048

Is there a way to circumvent this problem ? (aside from just increasing the value)

[ettaka]

Maybe one could use MAX_STRING_LEN for sif filename? Or then make another parameter for it. One can also allocate if a dynamic approach is needed.

[raback]

I guess this was addressed and can be closed?

[jvencels]

Is this relevant to the error when user uses very long path names?
