node.js - Shared folder between Windows host and Ubuntu guest, long filenames -
i'm setting ubuntu guest under windows using virtualbox colleague provide him linux-based development environment node.js application.
this colleague of mine can't or doesn't want ssh vm , work in emacs or vim; he's sublime text guy. have set project tree in virtualbox shared folder can access windows (to edit) , linux vm (to build/test).
unfortunately, npm install fails file system errors. problem seems extremely long path names resulting nested node_modules dependencies. i'm guessing we're hitting windows limit on filename length. npm install works fine in regular (non-shared) directory in vm.
does have ideas how deal problem? 1 idea had somehow alias or link $my_project/node_modules another, non-shared location, can't figure out how that.
update: i'm going try hack: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11976.
update 2: ended using samba, should have done in first place.
one option use 1 of multiple ways sublime edit remote files on ssh, covered in detail here
another try using native windows version of node , have colleague develop locally directly under windows.
