Hi folks,
I happened upon this error while setting up a local perforce server to
integrate with xcode. It ties in with not being able to see the
status on the files in the project (lots of question marks for scm
status).
SUMMARY:
Ensure the case of your depot names and paths in Perforce clientspecs
(workspaces) match the case of the folders/files on your discs.
Cheers,
Will.
----
BIT MORE DETAIL:
I came across this on Windows before when using a Linux p4 server.
It appears to be a problem of case mismatches between the filesystem
and perforce. Perforce is I think case sensitive and MacOSX appears
to be mixed case only in display (i.e. I cannot have both "MyDir" and
"mydir" directories in existence - like Windows).
Mine was a problem of cases not matching in a couple of places..
My directory on the disk was 'iPhone', depot 'iphone', clientspec
referencing 'iphone'. Changed directory name to iphone (mv iPhone
iphone) and all is shiny,
I have probably missed the subtleties of the real reasons behind this
issue. But ensuring matching cases throughout is key.
