p4 edit giving error : file(s) not on client

Question

On doing p4 edit file1 I am getting err: file(s) not on client. Tried to edit the file1 from the folder where the file is located and also by giving full file path still got same error.

p4 where gives 3 paths like : //depot/a/b/c/... //workspace-1/a/b/c/... /local/d/e/f/a/b/c/...

My workspace/client is workspace-1, file is present at path :"/local/d/e/f/a/b/c/"

workspace/client name is correct in .p4config (which is at path : /local/d/e/f/)

On doing p4 client, the P4 client spec file shows correct client name and View is : //depot/a/b/... //workspace-1/a/b/...

The issue is that p4 is not referring to client but not sure why .p4config is fine, env P4CLIENT is also set.

Why the client is not getting referred?

Answer 1

Sounds like your client spec is set up correctly, since p4 where is showing the expected thing. The file(s) not on client error means that the file isn't synced.

Do:

p4 sync file1
p4 edit file1
