As of version 2004.2 (I believe), Perforce supports overlaying files from
the depot to the local drive. For example, if my clientspec specifies the
following:
//depot/EDITSolutions/DummyB2/... //BuildClient/DummyB2/...
+//depot/EDITSolutions/HedgeFundDummyBase/... //BuildClient/DummyB2/...
It will overlay the files in //depot/EDITSolutions/HedgeFundDummyBase onto
the same local space where the //depot/EDITSolutions/DummyB2 files were
synced. (NOTE the '+' makes this happen).
Does Ant know how to handle this? I tried to sync to
//depot/EDITSolutions/DummyB2/... and then tried to sync to
+//depot/EDITSolutions/HedgeFundDummyBase/... but Ant seemed quite confused
by this. It seemed to get the root path mixed up. The clientspec has
C:\Temp\Perforce\Build as the root. c:\LifeCycleSupport\Build is where I am
running the build but that shouldn't get involved when doing a sync.
fetch:
[echo] Incremental fetch
[p4sync] //depot/EDITSolutions/DummyB2/... - file(s) up-to-date.
[p4sync] error: Path
'c:\LifeCycleSupport\Build\+//depot/EDITSolutions/HedgeF
undDummyBase/...' is not under client's root 'C:\Temp\Perforce\Build'.
BUILD FAILED
C:\LifeCycleSupport\Build\buildOverlay.xml:56: Problem exec'ing P4 command:
erro
r: Path
'c:\LifeCycleSupport\Build\+//depot/EDITSolutions/HedgeFundDummyBase/...
' is not under client's root 'C:\Temp\Perforce\Build'.
Am I missing something or is Ant not prepared for this? Is the '+' a
special character in Ant?
Thanks,
Suzanne Dorman
