Hello Katalon Team ,
Even though it is short, the error continues.

hello @pradyumna.varadpande
please you can look below link .

Can not save entity: file path length limit exceeds (345/255)

This was Super frustrating for me to run into this situation. But finally figured the solution. Solution was easy. It has to do with your Object Names. Look in my screen shot below. So make sure, your object name does not have all that extra text after it’s name. For example: div_Locked, and then it has extra text after this in my screen shot. So get rid of all of that text from each object name, and you should be good to go. Let me know if that works for you. [Untitled]

see you

Hi There,

You need to click on the Show Captured Objects link, and then look for longer names in Objects.

I’m not sure what you’re doing to receive this message or, indeed, where you received it. Follow the advice here to save me having to guess:

[TIP] How To Help Us Help You!

My test is BROKEN! NOTHING WORKS! HELP ME! Relax. We get it. We really do. There are some pretty smart and clever people on this forum, but you must realize, they are not magicians or wizards or gods. They cannot see your code, they can’t see your errors and they don’t even know what your AUT is meant to do even though it might seem perfectly obvious to you. So please relax and follow the advice below, before you start writing your post. The advice below will tell you the exact information …

But here’s my guess IF YOU ARE ON WINDOWS: Windows has a built in MAX_PATH length set to 260 characters. Note: Windows 10 was supposed to remove this restriction, but I don’t know if that ever happened.

@Russ_Thomas
Thank you for your instruction. I will submit issue as your instruction later.
My issue is as the following image:

@Russ_Thomas, @momo
Now, that issue was solved as the following:

1. Rename Objects’ name

2. Delete unnecessary neighbore object x path.

Thank you all.
