"File name too long" error when updating fzf-lua via lazy.nvim on encrypted home directory

[samuelsimoes]

I’m running into an error when updating the fzf-lua plugin using lazy.nvim on a system with an encrypted home directory.

Context

• Linux Mint 22
• My home directory is encrypted, which reduces the allowed filename length (my system is limited to about 143 characters per path) — verified with getconf NAME_MAX ..
• When running Lazy.nvim, I get errors like:

  cannot stat 'tests/screenshots/...-long-filename...'
  File name too long

• These long filenames are automatically generated by mini.nvim tests, so fzf-lua itself cannot control them.
• The fzf-lua maintainer mentioned this cannot be fixed on the fzf-lua side, and suggested the issue needs to be addressed in lazy.nvim (reference).

Question

Would it be possible for lazy.nvim to intercept or adjust these filenames during the plugin install/update process, to avoid exceeding the filesystem limit?

For example, by automatically renaming, truncating, or providing a configuration option to handle such cases?

Thanks a lot for your time!
