Issue with Custom Plugin: “Argument List Too Long” When Passing Large Config Parameter

SaudBinsaleh

Hello Dataiku Community,

I’m developing a custom plugin in Dataiku, and I’m facing an issue when passing a large config parameter. The parameter is a list with around 500 items, and I can see that:

•The list appears correctly in the plugin’s UI.

•It also logs correctly in the browser console using JavaScript.

•However, when I run the plugin, it fails immediately with the error:

Exception: argument list too long

My Questions

1.What is causing this issue?

2.Is there a size limit for configuration parameters in Dataiku plugins?

3.What are the best practices to handle large configuration inputs in a Dataiku plugin to avoid this error?

I appreciate any insights or workarounds! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Could you please confirm what DSS version you are currently on?

Most likely, we would need to investigate this in more detail. Can we attach a job diagnostics and plugin zip via a support ticket?

Thanks
