On doing p4 edit file1 I am getting err: file(s) not on client. Tried to edit the file1 from the folder where the file is located and also by giving full file path still got same error.

p4 where gives 3 paths like : //depot/a/b/c/... //workspace-1/a/b/c/... /local/d/e/f/a/b/c/...

My workspace/client is workspace-1, file is present at path :"/local/d/e/f/a/b/c/"

workspace/client name is correct in .p4config (which is at path : /local/d/e/f/)

On doing p4 client, the P4 client spec file shows correct client name and View is : //depot/a/b/... //workspace-1/a/b/...

The issue is that p4 is not referring to client but not sure why .p4config is fine, env P4CLIENT is also set.

Why the client is not getting referred?

  • Run `p4 set` and `p4 set P4CLIENT`, and post the output. – Bryan Pendleton Sep 16 '17 at 14:45
  • It gives correct values: [~/a/b/c]$ p4 set P4CLIENT=workspace-1 >P4PORT=a.f.v:1XXX >P4USER=a >P4_a.f.v:1XXX_CHARSET=none (enviro) >[~/a/b/c]$ p4 set P4CLIENT >P4CLIENT=workspace-1 – Green Sep 18 '17 at 03:59
  • I have observed that P4V is case insensitive for file paths. P4 (the command line version) is case sensitive. Thus when I was copying the file name from command line to P4V to check if the filed existed, P4V was correctly showing the file. With very minute observation I realized that one character in file path had a capital case, while the correct path as in small case. This is how I stumbled upon your question. My answer may help others. – Sahil Singh Dec 18 '17 at 08:52

Sounds like your client spec is set up correctly, since p4 where is showing the expected thing. The file(s) not on client error means that the file isn't synced.

Do:

p4 sync file1
p4 edit file1

    On doing p4 sync file1 ... it gives err- No such file .....tried with abs path and also from inside the parent folder – Green Sep 18 '17 at 03:53
  • Maybe the file's not in the depot yet? If that's the case do `p4 add file1`. – Samwise Sep 18 '17 at 14:51
