git pull error: cannot stat Filename too long

In this article, we are going to discuss about an issue related to GIT
that while trying to take latest from one of the branch. And after pull command facing issue as 

git pull error: cannot stat Filename too long

Also noticed that other teammates have not this issue.

After spending some time on this issue found the fix, so thought to share with community.

Fix:

just open GIT Command prompt

first I tried git pull but the same issue because of Windows API limitation of file paths having 260 characters or fewer.

To fix this issue ran below command

git config --system core.longpaths true

after this trigger git pull and it works.


Hope this will help

Sitecore control panel local indexes issue - indexes not listing

In this article, we are going to explain about very common issue -  local indexes issue

Few days back, I was also facing same issue that while trying to rebuild one of index from control panel.
There were no index listed on Indexing manager.

As I have attached screenshot



After looking at configs and running services.

Found that core name are not correct (as compare to search engine).
Since we are using solr, so we looked configs as

App_Config/Sitecore/ContentSearch/

~/Sitecore.ContentSearch.Solr.Index.Master.config

~/Sitecore.ContentSearch.Solr.Index.Web.config

~/Sitecore.ContentSearch.Solr.Index.Core.config 

and compared core with Solr admin portal (my instance solr url is : https://localhost:8983)

and correcting corename into configs, indexes started listing.


Hope this will help.
