Description

What are you generating using Kiota, clients or plugins?

API Client/SDK

In what context or format are you using Kiota?

Source Build

Client library/SDK language

Ruby

Describe the bug

Ruby gem has a limitation of 100 characters in files names including the folder path due to limitations on the tar library. We need to add this to the ruby generator to limit the file name length.

Current file lengths are causing failure in packaging any gems that have longer than 100 characters in the filename. e.g example build

Expected behavior

We should hash out files with long names and shrten them

How to reproduce

attempt to build https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-beta-sdk-ruby locally

Research direction

Start by reproducing the local build of msgraph-beta-sdk-ruby and tracing the Ruby generator path responsible for packaging file names. The work is done when long generated paths are shortened or hashed so the resulting Ruby gem builds successfully.
