Perforce&Swarm: After Submitting a Change Files are Deleted from Workspace

If I submit a changelist in Perforce by creating a new swarm review, the changed files are deleted from my local workspace. After the changelist is accepted the files reappear (get downloaded?) to my workspace again.

How can I submit a review but keep the files in my workspace so I can work with my changes locally? (Right now I have to wait until the swarm review is accepted to continue with my work)

  • maybe it has something to do with the "Shelve files" option?

Thanks alot :)

Solution

  • I just found my error.

    1. The files are not deleted but shelved (they are stored in the remote repository but I cannot access them locally as the change is not approved
    2. Simply do not shelve the files on a new swarm request.
