`CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long` when running examples

[skalarproduktraum]

Description

When running scenery examples from IntelliJ, the error CreateProcess error=206, The filename or extension is too long might occur. This is a known issue in IntelliJ.

Workaround

The problem can be solved by adding the following in .idea/workspace.xml:

<component name="PropertiesComponent">
...
     <property name="dynamic.classpath" value="true"/>
...
</component>

Should the .idea/workspace.xml file not exist, close and re-open the IntelliJ project. Sometimes IntelliJ does not write out project files right on first import.
