Perforce "Unable to submit" error

[Carl Pettersson]

Hello!

I'm having trouble getting scm with perforce working. I've set up a
simple project (archetype:create), and then modified my pom.xml to
contain this: 

...

  <scm>

    <connection>scm:perforce:p4bck:1666://my-app</connection>

 
<developerConnection>scm:perforce:p4bck:1666://my-app</developerConnecti
on>

  </scm>

...

  <build>

    <plugins>

      <plugin>

      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

      <artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId>

      <configuration>

        <systemProperties>

          <property>

            <name>maven.scm.perforce.clientspec.name</name>

            <value>Mavenclient</value>

          </property>

        </systemProperties>

        <username>user</username>

        <password>passwd</password>

        <connectionType>developerConnection</connectionType>

      </configuration>

      </plugin>

    </plugins>

  </build>

...

I am able to do scm:update without errors, and the p4 commandline client
works. However, if I do any action which tries to submits, such as
release:prepare or scm:checkin, I get an "Unable to submit" error. For
example, here I try checking in my pom.xml:

[DEBUG] Executing p4 -d C:\PerforceRoot\MC\my-app -p p4bck:1666 -u user
-P ************ submit -i

[DEBUG] SCM path in pom: //my-app

[DEBUG] Executing: p4 -p p4bck:1666 -u user -P ************ where
C:\PerforceRoot\MC\my-app\pom.xml

[DEBUG] cannot find depot => using //my-app

[DEBUG] Sending changelist:

Change: new

 

Description:

        mvn

 

Files:

        //my-app/pom.xml

 

[ERROR] Provider message:

[ERROR] Unable to submit

[ERROR] Command output:

[ERROR]

First sign of something not working I suppose is "cannot find depot",
why? And when it cannot, it still uses the correct one... (I've also
tried using //Mavenclient/my-app as url, only difference is that it
falls back to using //Mavenclient/my-app instead of //my-app)

The Mavenclient clientspec exists.

 

I'm using Maven version 2.0.9 with JDK 1.5.0.15 on WinXP. scm-plugin is
version 1.0, release-plugin is 2.0-beta-7.

 

Have I done some misconfiguration? There are a few threads about this
available when googling, however they either don't get a reply, or the
solution does not solve the problem. 

Any other information needed to debug this?

 

Thankful for any help
