Comment 3 for bug 1687070

Thanks, looks indeed that the total path is too long.

The socket name of zim itself is a bit long due to the hex key I put in there, but also the path to the tmp folder "/var/folders/g9/nm8_blpd5hx0vlhmc3x45h340000gn/T/" is quite long.

I would expect something like "/tmp/" there. Do you know why it is such a weird folder name?

If the theory holds, setting TMP environment to "/tmp" should work.

Alternative modifying "ipc.py" and change on line 60

 SERVER_ADDRESS = str(zim.fs.get_tmpdir().file('primary-%s' % version).path)

into

 SERVER_ADDRESS = str(zim.fs.get_tmpdir().file('primary').path)

should also work.

Regards,

Jaap
