How to find 'movedFile' for Perforce shelved changes
==============================================================================
This is just an FYI communication to share knowledge. I noticed in RBTools
source the following comment:
# XXX: fstat *ought* to work, but Perforce doesn't supply the movedFile
# field in fstat (or apparently anywhere else) when a change is
# shelved. For now, _diff_pending will avoid calling this method at all
# for shelved changes, and instead treat them as deletes and adds.
This is possible, though, if you use the Perforce client name associated with
the shelved change. For example, here's a shelved change that contains a moved
file and is associated with client "masseyk_priv":
$ p4 changes -umasseyk -sshelved -m1
Change 2464690 on 2022/04/19 by masseyk@masseyk_priv *pending* 'Test Testing
Done: Bug Number:'
If I run fstat within another client, I don't get movedFile:
$ p4 client -o | grep '^Client:'
Client: masseyk_build-vmshared
$ p4 fstat -T depotFile,movedFile
//depot/Priv/masseyk/manifest-test4/text-2-move@=2464690
... depotFile //depot/Priv/masseyk/manifest-test4/text-2-move
But if I specify client "massey_priv" in this command, I do:
$ p4 -c masseyk_priv fstat -T depotFile,movedFile
//depot/Priv/masseyk/manifest-test4/text-2-move@=2464690
... depotFile //depot/Priv/masseyk/manifest-test4/text-2-move
... movedFile //depot/Priv/masseyk/manifest-test4/text-2
(I don't know why Perforce works this way.)
For the record, here's my Perforce info:
