Long bundle path causes truncation of text in GitHub UI

[jazlalli]

As you can see from the screenshot below

Perhaps only showing that last directory and the filename, prefixed with ... would be better, as the most useful information follows that. The full path could be shown when hovering over the summary.

If you have a solution in mind, I'd be happy to try and make the change for you. I'm guessing doing some path manipulation here would do it?

Sounds good!

I am not working on this case yet, but I just wanted to discuss some test case scenarios and gets inputs from other also. This might be helpful for any other contributor who wants to work on it in future.

• Best case scenario

  When file name is short like:

  ./dist.js
  

  In this case no truncation of text is needed.

• 2nd scenario

  When file path is long like:

  ./lighthouse-extension/dist/scripts/lighthouse-background.js
  

  In this case, I think we can truncate it to like ~/lighthouse-background.js.
  What do you think?

• 3rd scenario

  When file name is long (more than 35 chars) like:

  ./lighthouse-background-long-filename.js
  

  In this case, I think we can truncate it to something like ~/light...name.js.
  What do you think?

What other test case scenarios we have?

I like all of those solutions!

I'd also like to add the case of multiple files in possibly different folders.

Another thing I'll throw into the mix is: should we do this in the CLI or on the store/details page.

Doing it in the CLI is a more effective use of URL length, but doing on the details page gives us the flexibility of deploying whenever we want even with breaking changes.

Whoops, we should this conversation to #81

[vs1682]

You mean showing the path with it's parent directory, right?
Like
~/parent1/file1.js
~/parent2/file2.js

[siddharthkp]

@vs1682 yep.

moved to #82
