We are tesing with the P4 plugin 1.7.2-SNAPSHOT (private-768cb40d-jenkins) we are use this goovy to do a sync:

def p4_credential='xxxxxxxxxx'
def friendly_stream = perforceStream.replaceAll('/','_')
def ublox_utils
node(slaveRestriction) {
def workspace ='workspace/'friendly_stream'_'+env.EXECUTOR_NUMBER
ws(workspace)
{
withEnv(["WORKSPACE=${pwd()}"]) {
stage ("Clean structure")
{
p4sync charset: 'none', credential: p4_credential, populate: [$class: 'ForceCleanImpl', delete: true, modtime: true, pin: '', quiet: true], template: 'jenkins_bootstrap'
ublox_utils=load('jenkins_bootstrap/utils.groovy');
ublox_utils.clean_build_area();
}
stage ("sync code"){
def P4_CHANGELIST=ublox_utils.stream_sync(perforceStream,p4_credential,perforceLabel)
currentBuild.displayName = '#'env.BUILD_NUMBER'.'+P4_CHANGELIST
if (perforceShelve != "")
{
currentBuild.displayName = currentBuild.displayName+"+${perforceShelve}"
}
}
// load template groovy
job=load(script);
job.run_steps()
}
}
}

so we are using a template but in the log we see this:

... p4 client -o jenkins-JNLP4-connect_connection_from_gb-mlb-dt-043.cog.cognovo.com-10___ -
p4 client o jenkins-JNLP4-connect_connection_from_gb-mlb-dt-043.cog.cognovo.com-10.20.4.36:65261-INTEGRATION-dev-rsqu__sit_int_psapp_test_harness-MAT2-New_Thread2_PIPELINE_USB_LARA_R312_New-Thread2_Tests-DSTREAM_MALF-Test_UBX_SUITE_LTE_PSAPP_CI_COMMIT_PSAPP_2_0_DSTREAM_MALF_NEW_LARA_R312 File name too long

How is this being created given we have set to use a template?

And we do need to manage large workspace names
