jenkins throws exception when archiving artifacts

Question

all,
The jenkins threw an exception when archiving artifacts after finished compiling.
Here goes the error message:

Answer 1

This can be caused by having an artifact larger than 8GB.

See Jenkins bug report JENKINS-10629 .

Answer 2

Do your artifacts generate weird characters like spaces +-._ etc? Try removing them and things should work normally.

Answer 3

如果要归档的任何文件的名称太长，比如它有这么多字符，那么也会出现这个问题。
