I've been working on a project to create an FDA part11-compliant e-signed document repository. The mandate is that it use Perforce to track the various revisions of the documents, utilize LDAP (AD) as the authentication/access directory, and re-authenticate the user at the point they submit a changelist. The first two requirements are i...
Our user performed an integration between branches. Integrated files were placed in a pending changelist but they are invisible when I look at this changelist in p4v. I can see them when I look on this changelist when I connected to another workspace, I can also see then in Eclipse. When I choose to Resolve conflicts on this changeli...
I'm employing a production-test server, that is, a test server in the production environment, which is only accessible from my company's network. This is for doing smoke tests and regression tests (for example making sure that our 3rd party web services are accessible), before we actually deploy the project to production (the project is ...
P4V has been crapping out on me when attempting to resolve a large number of files as part of an integration. I want to be able to do this in the command line. Here's the steps in P4V: Right-click the CL. Choose "Resolve Files..." A dialog will appear. Choose "Merge yours and theirs if no conflicts exist". Click Auto. Can someone ...
If you do a sync in perforce it can happen, very often, to do nothing even if it should. If you do a forced sync (sync -f) it will definitely sync all the files from the server blindly and this is unacceptable if you have a big project. The question is how can you do damn sync? ...
Hi, I'm new to perforce and have created a few workspaces as exercises for getting familiar with it. Now I would like to delete some of the workspaces. I just want to get rid of the workspaces so that they do not appear on the drop-down in the workspaces view (DO NOT want to do anything with actual depot files). Googling up an answer ...
Submit aborted -- fix problems then use 'p4 submit -c XXXX'. Some file(s) could not be transferred from client. I read another solution on the site about how incorrect filetypes might be the problem. Firstly, how do I get more information regarding the error in p4? ...
I have two projects which I manage internally using Perforce. These are also published to google code using svn. http://code.google.com/p/orapig/ http://code.google.com/p/cx-oracle-demos/ I currently have a set of scripts that copy from the perforce area in my home directory to the svn area, sync it, diff it, and commit it. ...
Is there an equivalent command to 'p4 opened' in svn? ...
Have someone used with success TRAC ticketing + wiki system accessing a code base residing in Perforce repository? I've browsed in the TRAC related web sites and found this one, but the latest change on the page is something like an year ago, so I have concluded (correct me if I'm wrong) that the plugin is hardly in working state OR tha...
In the 2009.1 version of Perforce Visual Client for 32-bin Windows, the "Reconcile Offline Work" option does weird things. In the middle box where the "Local files not in depot" should be displayed, I never get anything. What I do see is that the first time I reconcile a folder, it looks like perforce is filling the box with the "local...
What is the best way to setup perforce version control for the latest fitnesse distributions? We have our fitnesse files under perforce version control, but manually checking out prior to each update is a bit of a pain. Since the 20090214 release of Fitnesse, CM integration is included or more precisely plugins for version control syste...
I'm using a Visual Studio (2005) + Perforce combination for a particular solution, and I'd like to manually modify a Perforce parameter (the client name). From VS's "Change Source Control" dialog it seems that SCM info is saved per-project; however, the .csproj.vspscc files don't seem to hold any Perforce-related information, and neit...
A colleague of mine has become excited about the possibilities with PerForce (we basically need an abillity to logistically group patches and changes, and having the SCM support this natively would be very nice). We currently use CVS and are open to all posibillities. We are only few developers who use plain Eclipse and run builds usin...
In a project we are working on I would like to prevent several files from being checked in to our perforce depo. The files are either dll outputs from the build process or computer specific config files. Someone checked in the app dlls in before I got here, it make me sad and now prevents me from building when I to a "get all". I am ne...
What's the equivalent of "git clean" with Perforce? ...
I tried the basic setup as given in the sourceforge page and set P4CONFIG, P4USER, P4PORT. and after opening emacs I load p4.el and try to set the client name using p4-set-client-name and it throws out this error: Click <mouse-2> on a completion to select it. In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point. Possible comple...
I have a couple of .refresh files that have somehow found their way into my perforce default pending changelist and from there somehow started showing as being in conflict with their depot counterparts. They are un diffable, unresolvable, I have excluded the files from being compared using the instructions on the perforce website and ye...
I have started work for a company which is in the process of in-housing their main application previously managed by an agency. The codebase is currently stored in a Perforce repository. What I would like to do is migrate this codebase, complete with revision history, to a newly built Subvesrion server. Is anyone aware of any scripts o...
(Formerly: Help! Sourcesafe hijacks Perforce bindings in visual studio 2005) Hi, I'm currently having a problem with a visual studio solution. We're using perforce as our source control provider through the binding mechanism in visual studio. My problem is that every time I open the solution sourcesafe will hijack the bindings and sho...
