Posted on behalf of forum user 'daveg'. Hmmm.... I'm confused. I see 4 paths, not two.... //soc/testbench/sqf_test/main/... //dgauthie_atl_mkwa_proj_scbu_infra_vol1_arden_er_dgauthie_SQFMAIN/... -//soc/testbench/sqf_test/main/src/test/suites/soc/perf/... //dgauthie_atl_mkwa_proj_scbu_infra_vol1_arden_er_dgauthie_SQFMAIN/src/test/suites/soc/perf/... Anyway, I indented with a tab and removed the line break (wrapped below).... View: //soc/testbench/sqf_test/main/... //dgauthie_atl_mkwa_proj_scbu_infra_vol1_arden_er_dgauthie_SQFMAIN/... -//soc/testbench/sqf_test/main/src/test/suites/soc/perf/... //dgauthie_atl_mkwa_proj_scbu_infra_vol1_arden_er_dgauthie_SQFMAIN/src/test/suites/soc/perf/... The new error is.... Error in client specification. Error detected at line 66. Wrong number of words for field 'View'. it fails with.... Error in client specification. Error detected at line 66. Wrong number of words for field 'View'. When I put the line break back in and indent with a tab.... View: //soc/testbench/sqf_test/main/... //dgauthie_atl_mkwa_proj_scbu_infra_vol1_arden_er_dgauthie_SQFMAIN/... -//soc/testbench/sqf_test/main/src/test/suites/soc/perf/... //dgauthie_atl_mkwa_proj_scbu_infra_vol1_arden_er_dgauthie_SQFMAIN/src/test/suites/soc/perf/... This gives a new error... Error in client specification. Mapping '//dgauthie_atl_mkwa_proj_scbu_infra_vol1_arden_er_dgauthie_SQFMAIN/...' is not under '//dgauthie_atl_mkwa_proj_scbu_infra_vol1_arden_er_dgauthie_SQFSTAGE/...'. In an attempt to understand what's going on, I'm reading up on what a "view" is now. At first blush, I see that there are client, branch and map views. I would think that all that would be needed to do the unshelve is a branch view given that I'm identifying the "from" branch in the "p4 unshelve -b <fromBranch>". Why is there a need to alter the client view as well ? Also, will I have to alter the client view of every new client that gets created which will be doing the shelve/unshelve ? Or is this only needed for this instance because I'm working with an old client that doesn't know about the new branch that I just created ? Also, what is a P4 client exactly ? Is it a linux process that waits around for something to do? Is it a construct inside P4 that maps workspaces to depots and users ? Just curious. These things are created for us when we run the project script that creates workareas, so I never really run "p4 client" (until now :-) ) Thanks again Sambwise for all the help. -- Please click here to see the post in its original format: http://forums.perforce.com/index.php?/topic/5602-unshelve-branch-failing-with-no-target-files-in-both-client-and-branch-view _______________________________________________ perforce-user mailing list - [email protected] http://maillist.perforce.com/mailman/listinfo/perforce-user
