[p4] finding deleted files within a user/client

[Paul Mitchell]

Has anyone found a way to find the set of files which have been deleted from
a give ***@client within some spec? I'm looking for something akin to "p4
opened" only for deleted files. I know I can parse changelists, but I'm
looking for something higher-level than that.

Thanks,
Paul

I have a developer who's using P4Win. We're trying to add a bunch of
new files (several
directories worth). When we drag the directory icon to the default
changelist P4(Win)
goes through the standard listing of the new files, and then prompts for
clicking on the
OK button.

We click on the OK button and then P4 gives us the yellow "!" warning
icon and the
above message: no permission for operation on file(s).

What the heck does that mean, and why am I getting that message? We're
trying to
check in a bunch of files. They're mostly Word documents (all the files
are various
types of documents written in word or adobe illustrator or whatever
other apps).

As Dave Lewis said, 'p4 opened' works if they were deleted using 'p4 delete'.
If you are trying to find out what was deleted outside of Perforce, say
with an OS 'rm' or 'del' command, try 'p4 diff -sd'.

Most likely means that the files you are dragging don't fall in a client
map or that the developer does not have write access to the part of the
depot they map into. Make sure your client path mapping is correct (be
meticulous and try 'p4 where'), make sure the developer is using the right
Perforce user ID, and make sure the user they are using has write
permission to that part of the depot.

'p4 opened' only works before the changelist has been submitted. 'p4 files'
is only good for telling me what files where deleted in a given depot path.
What I'm looking for is per ***@client. To be more explicit, if I look at
a changelist, which I know was submitted by ***@client, I can tell that a
certain set of files was deleted. What I'm asking, is, is there a better
way of doing this then looking at each changelist i.e. like a 'p4 opened'
command only 'p4 deleted'.

Thanks for the feedback,

Paul

Having gone through a similar experience recently and spending excessive
time on it only to be embarrased by a typing error on my part, let me
suggest the following:
1. First check the Perforce user being used.
2. Check the clientspec being used and the mappings
3. Check the info in `p4 protect` and make sure that the user's name
and the related directories are entered correctly. Verify that the
information agrees with that from steps 1 and 2. Also, verify
that this user has write access to the appropriate areas.
4. Go into the Peforce area on the server and verify the directory
structure against all the above.
5. Verify that the user has their local directory stucture matching
all the above.

I know it's tedious, but after spending about a lot of time with this
problem, I discovered that I had mistyped a directory and instered an
extra 'i' which was not obvious with the proportional font used in
P4Win!

Good luck!

Thanks for the various replies...

And the answer is....
p4 protect!
