Perforce : Getting user <username> doesn't exist after running "p4 sync" command from console

Question

I tried running following command through console and got an error

Command : p4 sync //depot/somepath/ [Event tried with -u < username >]

Error : User < username > doesn't exists.

Same thing is working fine with perforce visual client.

Answer 1

I think you just need to do some p4 configurations such as:

 P4PORT
 P4USER
 P4PASSWD
 P4CLIENT

First, run the following in your terminal:

p4 info

Verify if the information match the same info that you have in the GUI version.

Then set the credentials for the followings (In my case I only had to set my user and password):

p4 set P4PORT=server.example.com:1666
p4 set P4USER=username
p4 set P4PASSWD=password123
p4 set P4CLIENT=client-dev

Once you have all your entries set, just type:

p4 login
