Hi, I just ran into the same problem. I wanted to copy my project folder and then it said,that the file names are too long. Never have seen this before.  
I updated node and npm nad also installed a new ionic project, but the error is still there.  
Are there any other ideas how to manage this?

Thank you!

node: 6.9.1  
npm: 3.10.9
