Hello, I am having the same issue. Did you solve this?
Thanks in advance

Hey @albert_pinto! Which version of CrewAI are you using?

We introduced a fix for this issue in early December.

Hello, any news about this issue ?

Hey @kenpachi!

Could you give us a bit more context about the issue you’re running into with Memory?

Yes,
I wanted to add short term memory in my crew so i did all the config as explained in the doc but when I run it, I get this error : FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long. because it concat all the agent roles to make the file name. So my file name is too long.

this is my config :
short_term_memory=ShortTermMemory(
storage=RAGStorage(
embedder_config=EMBEDDER_CONFIG,
type=“short_term”,
path=“src/csc_flow_analyzer/data/”,
)
),

I saw that i could edit regedit by enabling long path but i’m working on a professional project and i don’t have admin rights. So if you find any solution it would be great

As a temporary and local workaround, try adjusting the MAX_FILE_NAME_LENGTH value in crewai/utilities/constants.py within your CrewAI installation.

Set it to a value that works for your operating system (but don’t make it too small).

I tried but still the same error.
does it matter if it’s a flow instead of a simple crew ?

this is the more complete log error

os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(self.db_file), exist_ok=True)
File “< frozen os >”, line 225, in makedirs
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long: 'agent_role_1_agent_role_2…’

I think I found something but by adding EntityMemory it worked.

in my crew config I only had this :

 short_term_memory=ShortTermMemory(
            storage=RAGStorage(
                embedder_config=EMBEDDER_CONFIG,
                type="short_term",
                path="src/csc_flow_analyzer/crews/analyzing_crew/",
            )
        ),

but by adding this :

entity_memory = EntityMemory(
            storage=RAGStorage(
                embedder_config=EMBEDDER_CONFIG,
                type="short_term",
                path="src/csc_flow_analyzer/crews/analyzing_crew/"
            )
        ),

my error gone.

Probably because RAGStorage uses EntityMemory with Short Memory idk.
