Error: ENAMETOOLONG: name too long, open

[mgifford]

Sometimes clients can have pretty long file names. Is it possible to expand the defaults?

Currently I'm excluding it with --exclude-path-glob

So often GET strings can get totally out of control:
?combine=&items_per_page=&items_per_page_option

Can you post a screenshot of the stack trace? Lighthouse-parade does not itself impose a max URL length, but it is likely that one or several of the libraries we use does.

Thanks @calebeby I had to change the names to protect the client, but this is the error I was getting:

Was a bit annoying as I had to crawl a semi-large site again in order to get it again.
