Ludo says the max file name on Windows platfolms is 259 characters and it seems the full path of generated files such as the one mentioned in synopsis sometimes gets longer than that and causes a deploy error:

I tried to make the path name shorter and the easiest was to rename my service to something shorter. It worked fine with shorter path but my service name wasn't something a user might use. The other avenues are not also very convenient. I think we should at least put something in release notes if we can't shorten webservices generated directory names for sierra
