I encounter following errors while trying to build the solution from command line
build.cmd and from here on i couldn't follow the setup instruction any further.

Thanks for contacting us, @waqas1430.

Can you please be specific (drop the link here) which instructions you were following and which solution you're trying to build?

[waqas1430]

@mkArtakMSFT

https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/blob/master/docs/BuildFromSource.md

instructions i am following are in this link and i have download the source code from code tab

https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore

cloned it following instructions using git and everything somehow i figured out until the point where it was mentioned in instructions to run build.cmd i have tried to restart PC thinking maybe some services causing this, updated the visual studio 2019 as well and installed visual studio too from powershell link provided in instruction but i still get these 6 errors

Having same issue as well

[natemcmaster]

Looks like https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/issues/9431. MAX_PATH 🙄 The build is trying to copy to
D:FLProjectsAspNetCore-masterAspNetCoresrcMvcMvc.Api.AnalyzerstestbinDebugnetcoreapp3.0TestFilesApiConventionAnalyzerIntegrationTestDiagnosticsAreReturned_IfAsyncMethodReturningValueTaskWithProducesResponseTypeAttribute_ReturnsUndocumentedStatusCode.cs which exceeds the 260 limit by 4.

[isaacrlevin]

@natemcmaster it should call out in the setup that building will more than likely generate a MAX_PATH exception if it is is nested folder. Guidance should be to clone the repo off the root of the disk (for Windows at least)

[mkArtakMSFT]

Resolving this as a dupe of the referenced issue, where we track the fix for the MAx_PATH issue.
