'yarn develop' gets error with buildChallenges.js

[tchaffee]

After a fresh clone of this project and a successful yarn install, I get the following error messages when running yarn develop:

success delete html and css files from previous builds — 0.008 s
error We encountered an error while trying to load your site's gatsby-config.js. Please fix the error and try again.

Can't reproduce, can you please share your system config?

[tchaffee]

Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
npm v5.3.0
yarn v1.6.0
node v8.1.4

Let me know if there is any other info you need. Thanks!

@Bouncey is on a similar setup, I guess. Can you try and bump your node to the latest LTS (8.11.x)

[tchaffee]

@raisedadead That got me past that error. Now I'm getting a new one.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hmm this looks something similar to #28

[scissorsneedfoodtoo]

Yes, I think that's the same problem I'm having. @tchaffee, is your /home directory encrypted by any chance?

If so, the problem is that the max filename length with encryption using eCryptfs, which I believe Ubuntu uses by default, is 143 characters. A temporary workaround is just to go into /seed/challenges and to find those three challenge titles and shorten them manually. Then you should be able to complete the build.

@scissorsneedfoodtoo Yes, encrypted home dir. Shortening the lesson descriptions worked for me. Thanks!
