16,170 PointsUnit Test not creating PointTest class
So I am getting an error when creating the Unit Test for the Point class. My error is as follows:
The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
How do I know which of those are too long?

Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 23,933 PointsHey Daniel, have you tried moving your project to a different, shorter filepath? Can you share the filepath of your project?
If you really want to know whether it's the file or filepath, I would just count the characters of both and see which is causing the filepath to go over 260 characters.
This may also be a good place to start.
Sorry I don't do much with C#, but those seem like good things to try first.
