Well, the error message pretty much say it all. There is absolutely
nothing we can do about the path name limitation, it's baked into the
system call interface. (It's a shocking design, but that's just how it
is.)

This is what takes the path name over the edge:

rpadovani/scope-dev-endpoints.USoi22

I suspect that this is added by the scope tool. Making this shorter
would help to keep things below the limit.

I don't know why you are seeing this on the laptop but not the desktop.
Most likely, the generated pathname is shorter for some reason, possible
due to the pseudo-random suffix?

Title:
  Error executing scope with long name on PC

Status in “unity-scopes-api” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm developing a scope, but I have this error after the launch, and
  I'm not able have any response by any query:

  com.ubuntu.developer.rpadovani.discerningduck_discerningduck-c
  query(): unity::scopes::MiddlewareException: Socket path name too long (max = 107): /tmp/rpadovani/scope-dev-endpoints.USoi22/priv/com.ubuntu.developer.rpadovani.discerningduck_discerningduck-c

  The interesting part it's I have two computers, a desktop and a netbook, and I have the error only on the netbook.
  Both have same code, both have utopic updated with same apt sources, I have the same username (rpadovani) on both and both are 64bit.

  I have no idea on why on one fails and on other doesn't, please let me
  know if I could provide some logs to debug this.

  Alejandro J. Cura suggests this is a bug in the scope registry,
  because sockets paths do have the limit that the error shows:
