What to enter into "Client" field in the Perforce setup dialog in IntelliJ IDEA 10.5?

Question

I'm trying to set up Perforce integration in IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.2. There is a field named "Client" that doesn't make sense to me. I get the message "Connection problems: Client Unknown" whatever I type into the field. What should I enter into that field?

Answer 1

You need to enter the name of your Perforce workspace.

If you have set up the command line tool correctly you may run p4 set P4CLIENT on the command-line.

If you use the P4V GUI tool, the workspace name is easily found.
