Win32 IO returned ERROR_INVALID_NAME (block entire script)

Hello there,

I am getting a error who is very annoying and i can't figurate out. I am hoping someone already has something like this and help me with that. This error block the script at the beginning...

Thank you !

Script :

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
3. using System.IO;
4. using System.Collections;
5.  
6.  
7. public class FirstRun : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.     void Awake ()
10.     {
11.         CreateFirstLoadFile ();
12.     }
13.  
14.     public void CreateFirstLoadFile()
15.     {
16.         // Choose the output path according to the build target.
17.         string outputPath = Path.Combine(GetPathBasedOnOS(), "IsFirstLoadFile");
18.         if (!Directory.Exists(outputPath))
19.         {
20.             Reset ();
21.             Directory.CreateDirectory(outputPath); //ERROR HERE
22.             Debug.Log("No file, reset all");
23.         }
24.         else
25.         {
26.             SceneManager.LoadScene("Home");
27.             Debug.Log("There is a file, loading home");
28.         }  
29.     }
30.  
31.     private static string GetPathBasedOnOS()
32.     {
33.         if (Application.isEditor)
34.             return "file://" + Application.persistentDataPath + "/";
35.         //else if (Application.isWebPlayer)
36.             //return System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.absoluteURL).Replace("\\", "/") + "/";
37.         else if (Application.isMobilePlatform || Application.isConsolePlatform)
38.             return Application.persistentDataPath;
39.         else // For standalone player.
40.             return "file://" +  Application.persistentDataPath + "/";
41.     }
42.  
43.  
44.     private void Reset()
45.     {
46.         PlayerPrefs.DeleteAll ();
47.  
48.         //Music default
49.         PlayerPrefs.SetInt("KeyRef", 1);
50.         AudioListener.volume = 1;
51.  
52.         PlayerPrefs.Save();
53.         SceneManager.LoadScene("Language");
54.     }
55. }

 

Looks like you have a recursion here. Error may be related to creating a filepath with too many nested folders which makes pathname too long (2048 characters or so, there is a limit in Windows but I can‘t say exactly what it is).

The callstack repeats a lot. You should attach debugger and step through to see what‘s happening.

 

What is the runtime value of outputPath?

 

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. After some little modifications, the error is still here but everything is now working well. So i think i will let that for the moment. I'll let you after resolution of this error.

Thank you!
