Perforce: how to get missing file from Depot to Workspace?

Question

A given file is missing from my Workspace, but present at the Perforce Depot.

I tried several times to "Get Revision" and checked on the "Force Operation" flag. It always retrieve hundreds of files but not this one missing, which, by the way, is an .sln file.

Extra details that may be relevant: a) I use P4V; b) I usually open this project for editing in Visual Studio 2010 using the option "Open from Source Control"; c) I tried checking out all files in my solution and reverting unchanged files afterwards as an attempt to bring all files, but didn't work for this missing file of mine.

Does anyone have seen something similar? Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

The "Get Revision" with "Force Operation" was not working because the file in question was checked out. After reverting this file, I could get it by forcing the Get Revision.

This idea actually came from an answer to a similar question to which I came back to.
