Deleting Perforce Workspace from cloned VM

Does deleting a workspace only affect local files in perforce, or is there some bookkeeping kept by the perforce server? I've cloned a VM and now have two of the same workspaces on two separate machines, but want to remove one from one machine but not the other. How can this be done?

Solution

  • Deleting a workspace deletes it from the server, so you definitely don't want to do that.

    In your new VM, create a new workspace. If you want it to be exactly the same as the original VM, create the new workspace by using the original workspace as a template. From P4V, right-click on the workspace from the Workspace view and choose "Create/Update workspace from originalworkspace"

    Or, from the command line:

    p4 client -o -t originalworkspace mynewworkspace
