Unstable state when updating repo. Check that you have permissions to create/delete files

Hi, When I am trying to create a project in IntelliJ , getting below error. java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not execute sam init!: [Cloning from https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli-app-templates (process may take a moment), Error: Unstable state when updating repo. Check that you have permissions to create/delete files in C:\Users\aravi\AppData\Roaming\AWS SAM directory or file an issue at https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/issues]

SAM CLI, version 1.53.0

Thanks, Aravind

Try running following command administrator in PowerShell, it’s worked for me. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=powershell#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later

This is the actual cause playing behind all the troubles.

fatal: cannot create directory at 'provided.al2/graalvm/java11/cookiecutter-aws-sam-graalvm-gradle/{{cookiecutter.project_name}}/HelloWorldFunction/src/main/resources/META-INF/native-image/com.amazonaws/aws-lambda-java-core':

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

You are also on Windows and I know the file path length can be an issue. You can try doing https://github.com/aws/aws-sam-cli/issues/4031#issuecomment-1183633630

This is also a duplicate of #4031. Not sure if you did look at open issues but if you didn’t please do that before creating. Makes it much easier to follow and track on our end and already has a workaround (which I think is just the solution to this at this point).
