Subject: [p4perl] how do we change root of a client view

I need to change root of my client view. I am trying to use ParseForms() to change this.

This is what I am doing.

 

 $p4->ParseForms();
 $p4->Connect() or die( "Failed to connect to Perforce Server" );

%client = $p4->FetchClient("SumanWin");
$client{'Root'} = "c:\\work12";
$p4->;SaveClient($client);

But this isn't working..

Please advise.

 

Thanks

I don't know, but you should check the contents of the $p4->Errors() array
after calling SaveClient() to see if it's failing. Also, the example you gave
was missing a '->' so maybe that's the reason.

$client = $p4->FetchClient("SumanWin");
$client-&gt;{'Root'} = "c:\\work12";
$p4->;SaveClient($client);

foreach my $e ( $p4->Errors() )
{
printf( "ERROR: %s\n", $e );
}
