I have a label that's a subset of a bigger tree and wondering if there is an option in p4 sync to update only the files that are part of the workspace. p4 sync #label usually deletes all other files that are not part of the label.
Do:
p4 sync #label,#label
Or:
p4 -F %depotFile%%depotRev% files #label | p4 -x - sync

Is it possible to get an fstat (or any other command) to return a list of all "existing" files (nothing thats been deleted/archived/etc) that dont exist on the users current workspace?
ideally, examples would be in python but standard p4 commands are fine too.
Assuming you mean files that were previously synced but have since been removed from the workspace, the standard command for this is p4 diff -sd:
diff -- Display diff of client file with depot file
p4 diff [-d<flags> -f -m max -Od -s<flag> -t] [file[rev] ...]
...
The -s options lists the files that satisfy the following criteria:
...
-sd Unopened files that are missing on the client.
You can also use p4 reconcile -n -d, p4 status -d, etc.
If you're simply looking for files that haven't been synced, that's just p4 sync -n. Files listed as added are those that are completely missing from the workspace and would hence be added to it by a sync.
Is there any way to sync only the latest change list number changes.
For example if the latest change number is 1234 and has 2 files in submitted changelist. I want to sync only those 2 files not the complete folder.
The below command is syncing only the 2 files
p4 sync -f //demo/osb/Test/...#=1234;
I want to pass this value dynamically as this value will change.
I have tried the below commands but none are working.
p4 sync -f //demo/osb/Test/...#head;
p4 sync -f //demo/osb/Test/...#=head;
p4 sync -f //demo/osb/Test/...#head; --> this is updating the complete folder
p4 sync -f //demo/osb/Test/...#=head; --> this is updating the complete folder
Thanks for the help!!
One way to do this would be to use two commands:
p4 -F %change% -ztag changes -m1 -s submitted //demo/osb/Test/...
p4 sync //demo/osb/Test/...#=NNN
The first command tells you the change number of the latest submitted change. The second command syncs the files changed in that changelist.
Depending on your shell, you could perhaps combine them:
p4 sync //demo/osb/Test/...#=`p4 -F %change% -ztag changes -m1 -s submitted //demo/osb/Test/...`
(Whew! That's a mouthful!)
You have to have a fairly recent client version for the '-F %change%' syntax to work; if you're having trouble with this part of the solution, check your client version.
I have a changelist with large number of files. I have to work on other request so I shelved the changes using p4 shelve -c 899. But when I do a p4 opened the files are still showing up in workspace.
Since the number is large I want to revert all files at once. I have tried p4 revert -c 899 * but this didn't work(by * it is taking all files in current directory rather than the changelist).
How can this be done?
From the root of your client, do:
p4 revert -c 899 .... This will revert all open files in the current directory and in all subdirectories that are in changeset 899.
I thought I could use P4 sync -f #Changelist# to sync only those files in Changelist#, but it is syncing the entire directory. How can I limit the sync to only the files in Changelist#?
If you want to limit a sync to only the files in a specific changelist, you can do the following:
$> p4 sync #changelist,#changelist
E.g.
$> p4 sync #604286,#604286
To sync only the files contained in a changelist, you can use the #= syntax:
p4 sync #=12345
If I understand the question correctly - You already have a tree with some files. Now there is a new change-list and you want your tree to be updated in such a way that only files listed in this new change list are synced leaving rest of the tree intact/unaffected.
If this is the case then answer is - p4 sync #=changelist. But just to be safe first try with p4 sync -n #=changelist option.
If you try with p4 sync #changelist you will see that your whole tree is updated/deleted. Just try with
p4 sync -n #changelist | more
To sum up the other answers and add one of my own: roll 1d3 and choose from this table.
p4 sync -f #=CHANGE
p4 sync -f #CHANGE,CHANGE
p4 -F %depotFile%%depotRev% files #CHANGE,CHANGE | p4 -x - sync -f
How can I sync only 1 particular branch from my depo in P4.
Below command needs the file name:
p4 sync -n -f //depot/...filename
But I want to sync entire branch & I've multiple branches in my laptop. How can I specifically tell P4 to sync only a particular depo branch?
Thanks!
The ... in the command line you show means, roughly, "every subtree", so it syncs that filename in all branches under your depot. Instead you can give the full path -- either in local, or depot form -- of the file you actually want:
# sync everything in a branch
p4 sync -n -f //depot/path/to/branch/...
# sync only one file in a branch
p4 sync -n -f //depot/path/to/branch/.../filename.ext
