Export does not find any dependencies and hits an error

I'm trying to export my analytic app but the dependencies section comes up blank when there should be many input files, macros, and output files listed.  If I try to do the export anyways I hit an error

Export failed

Object reference not set to an instance of an object


When I go to Options --> Advanced Options --> Workflow Dependencies I see 50 total instances showing up.  If I hit the Test button all show up red (this seems bugged because many of the red ones I have verified are the correct path and exist at those paths) except for 1 dependency  which shows up green. However, if I then hit "Show Individual Tools" most then turn green.

 

Any ideas on what the issue might be?  

 

I tried copying my alteryx code into a new workflow/analytic app but still hit the same issue.  I have other analytic apps that I have opened up during the same session that are working fine, its just one app that is hitting this issue.

 

I have also tried restarting Alteryx designer and restarting my computer but the issue remains.

Hi Everyone,

I figured out the issue I was having.  The issue was that one of my output reports path+filename was > 255 characters long.  After I changed this to be <= 255 characters the export functionality then worked correctly. I am posting this solution incase anyone else runs into the same problem.
