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

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.

Solution

  • 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
