Interface IClient

All Superinterfaces:

IClientSummary, IServerResource

All Known Implementing Classes:

Client

public interface IClient
extends IClientSummary

Extends the lightweight IClientSummary interface to provide a "heavyweight" Perforce client object that has an associated Perforce client views and has the full panoply of Perforce operations defined against it.

Perforce clients are described in detail elsewhere, but in summary, a Perforce client object is returned from the Perforce server using one of the getClient(s) methods or by creating a new Perforce client through the newClient server method. Some Perforce operations are done through a Perforce client; some are associated with a Perforce client; and some are done directly through the Perforce server itself.

IClient objects are complete, refreshable, and updateable (unlike IClientSummary objects, which are not updateable).

sync

java.util.List<IFileSpec> sync(java.util.List<IFileSpec> fileSpecs,
                               boolean forceUpdate,
                               boolean noUpdate,
                               boolean clientBypass,
                               boolean serverBypass)
                               throws ConnectionException,
                                      RequestException,
                                      AccessException

Sync a Perforce client workspace against the Perforce server.

Parameters:

fileSpecs - files to be synchronized; if empty, synchronize all client files.

forceUpdate - if true, forces resynchronization even if the client already has the file, and clobbers writable files. This flag doesn't affect open files. Corresponds to the p4 sync "-f" flag.

noUpdate - causes sync not to update the client workspace, but to display what normally would be updated. Corresponds to the p4 sync "-n" flag.

clientBypass - bypasses the client file update. It can be used to make the server believe that a client workspace already has the file. Corresponds to the p4 sync "-k" flag.

serverBypass - populates the client workspace, but does not update the server to reflect those updates. Any file that is already synced or opened will be bypassed with a warning message. Corresponds to the p4 sync "-p" flag.

Returns:

non-null list of affected files as IFileSpec elements

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

RequestException - if the Perforce server encounters an error during its processing of the request

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

labelSync

java.util.List<IFileSpec> labelSync(java.util.List<IFileSpec> fileSpecs,

                                           RequestException,
                                           AccessException

Perform a label sync operation for this client. See the main Perforce documentation for an explanation of the labelsync operation.

Parameters:

fileSpecs - if non-null,

labelName - non-null name of the label to be sync'd

noUpdate - if true, just show what would result with the labelsync rather than actually doing it

addFiles - if true, add the files in fileSpecs to the label

deleteFiles - if true, delete the files in fileSpecs from the label

Returns:

non-null list of affected files as IFileSpec elements

                                    AccessException

Create a new changelist for this Perforce client in the associated Perforce server. The newly-created changelist has no files associated with it (regardless of whether the passed-in changelist spec has files associated with it); if you wish to add files to the new changelist, you need to do a reopen on them explictly after the new changelist is returned.

The new changelist is returned if the command is successful; this changelist object will include the new changelist ID.

Parameters:

newChangelist - non-null specification for the new changelist; if the newChangelist's ID is not IChangelist.DEFAULT, it is ignored.

Returns:

the new changelist, or null if there was an error or the new changelist is inaccessible.

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

RequestException - if the Perforce server encounters an error during its processing of the request

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

                                   boolean useWildcards)
                                   throws ConnectionException,
                                          AccessException

Open one or more Perforce client workspace files for adding to the Perforce server.

Parameters:

fileSpecs - non-null list of files to be opened, in Perforce client or depot or local path format.

noUpdate - if true, don't actually do the open, just return the files that would have been opened for addition.

changeListId - if positive, the opened files are put into the pending changelist identified by changeListId; this changelist must have been previously created. If zero or negative, the file is opened in the 'default' (unnumbered) changelist.

fileType - if non-null, the files are added as that filetype. See 'p4 help filetypes' to attempt to make any sense of Perforce file types.

useWildcards - if true, filenames that contain wildcards are permitted. See the main Perforce documentation for file adding for details.

Returns:

a non-null but possibly-empty list of IFileSpec objects representing the opened files. Not all fields in these specs will be valid or set.

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

editFiles

java.util.List<IFileSpec> editFiles(java.util.List<IFileSpec> fileSpecs,

                                    int changeListId,
                                    java.lang.String fileType)
                                    throws RequestException,
                                           ConnectionException,
                                           AccessException

Open one or more Perforce client workspace files for editing.

Parameters:

fileSpecs - non-null list of files to be opened, in Perforce client or depot or local path format.

noUpdate - if true, don't actually do the open, just return the files that would have been opened for edit.

bypassClientUpdate - if true, the edit bypasses any client file update. Equivalent to the new 2009.2 and later "-k" option. If set true with a Perforce server earlier than 2009.2, will produce a suitable RequestException. Note: this option can cause havoc if you don't use care...

changeListId - if positive, the opened files are put into the pending changelist identified by changeListId; this changelist must have been previously created. If zero or negative, the file is opened in the 'default' (unnumbered) changelist.

fileType - if non-null, the file is opened as that filetype. Otherwise, the filetype of the previous revision is reused. If the filetype given is a partial filetype, that partial filetype is combined with the previous revision's filetype. See 'p4 help filetypes' to attempt to make any sense of this..

Returns:

a non-null but possibly-empty list of IFileSpec objects representing the opened files. Not all fields in these specs will be valid or set.

Throws:

RequestException - if the Perforce server encounters an error during its processing of the request

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

For each of the passed-in file specs, show how the named file maps through the client view.

The returned IFiles contain all three of the depot, client, and local file paths of the corresponding fileSpec array element where appropriate, or the usual server-generated error message if there was no corresponding mapping. The main exception to this is the case when no filespecs are given (i.e. the fileSpecs array is null or empty), when the mappings for '...' (all files in the current directory and below) are returned (if they exist).

Integrate ("merge") from one Perforce filespec to another. The semantics of Perforce merges are complex and are not explained here; please consult the main Perforce documentation for file merges and the IntegrationOptions Javdoc comments for details of the less-commonly-used options.

Parameters:

changeListId - if not IChangelist.UNKNOWN, use this as the target changelist

showActionsOnly - if true, don't actually do the integration, just return the actions that would have been done

branchSpec - if not null, use this as the integration branch specification (as in the -b option to integ).

integOpts - detailed integration objects. If null, the method will use default option values as described for the IntegrationOptions constructor, all of which are safe for straightforward merge use.

fromFile - if not null, use this as the source Perforce filespec

toFile - if not null, use this as the target Perforce filespec

Returns:

non-null list of IFileSpec objects describing the intended or actual integration actions.

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

Automatically resolve the results of a previousPerforce file integration.

Note that this is currently a very limited version of the full Perforce resolve feature, corresponding only to (some of) the various auto-resolve features, meaning this method will never invoke (or need to invoke) end user interaction. More extensive versions of the resolve command will be surfaced as needed.

This method notionally returns an IFileSpec, as it's closely related to the integ method and shares many of its return values, but there are several limitations in the use of the returned IFileSpecs. In general, what is returned from this method is a mixture of resolution info messages (i.e. messages from the server that spell out what would or did happen during the resolve), and "true" filespecs. In the latter case, the filespec has a very limited set of valid fields: only client path, from file, and the from revisions are guaranteed to be valid. In the former case, since the info messages do NOT correspond one-to-one with the input file specs that caused the messages, consumers need to explicitly search each returned info message string for the relevant file path or name. This is an unfortunate artefact of the Perforce server's implementation of this command.

Note: results and behaviour are undefined if clashing or inconsistent options are used with this method. In general, the behaviour of (e.g.) setting both acceptYours and acceptTheirs true will be whatever the Perforce server makes of it (usually an error), but that's not guaranteed....

Parameters:

fileSpecs - files to be resolved; if null or empty, all files marked as needing resolution will be processed

safeMerge - if true, only do "safe" resolves, as documented for the p4 "-as" option

acceptTheirs - if true, automatically accept "their" changes, as documented for the p4 "-at" option

acceptYours - if true, automatically accept "your" changes, as documented for the p4 "-ay" option

showActionsOnly - if true, don't do the actual resolve, just return the actions that would have been performed for the resolve

forceResolve - forces auto-mode resolve to accept the merged file even if there are conflicts. This option results in a merged file that may contain Perforce conflict markers; these markers should be edited out of the file manually before it's submitted (unless you actually want them there...).

Returns:

non-null but possibly-empty list of integration file specs for the resolve; see note above on the semantics of this list.

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

resolveFile

IFileSpec resolveFile(IFileSpec targetFile,
                      java.io.InputStream sourceStream)
                      throws ConnectionException,
                             RequestException,
                             AccessException

Resolve a file integration by using the contents of the sourceStream InputStream as the resolve result.

Note that this method only works with the default RPC (pure Java) protocol implementations; if the underlying implementation detects a mismatch, it will throw a suitable RequestException.

Use of this method will normally result in an integration edit record in the target file's history whether you've actually done an edit or not, so it is up to the consumer to weed out the various straight copy resolve cases and only use this for cases of more complex merges that actually did involve an edit (in reality or not).

Note that the IFileSpec returned will generally not have a valid depot or client file paths -- you must use the toFile and fromFile methods on the returns here.

Parameters:

targetFile - non-null file to be resolved.

sourceStream - non-null InputStream containing the resolved file's new contents.

Returns:

possibly-null IFileSpec representing the result of the resolve

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

RequestException

resolvedFiles

java.util.List<IFileSpec> resolvedFiles(java.util.List<IFileSpec> fileSpecs,
                                        boolean showBaseRevision)
                                        throws ConnectionException,
                                               AccessException

Return a list of files resolved but not submitted for this client. Note that the returned list has only the localPath field set (i.e. depot, client, and generic paths are not set). This reflects the returned values from the server itself.

Parameters:

fileSpecs - optional filespecs to be processed

showBaseRevision - if true, reports the revision used as the base during resolve (this seems to have no effect).

Returns:

list of files that have been resolved but not yet submitted

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

lockFiles

java.util.List<IFileSpec> lockFiles(java.util.List<IFileSpec> fileSpecs,
                                    int changeListId)
                                    throws ConnectionException,
                                           AccessException

Lock an opened file against changelist submission.

The open files named are locked in the Perforce depot, preventing any user other than the current user on the current client from submitting changes to the files. If a file is already locked then the lock request is rejected. If no file specs are given then lock all files currently open in the changelist number given if it is IChangelist.DEFAULT or > 0.

Note that the file specs returned are only partially filled out; the Perforce server seems to only return path information for this command.

Parameters:

fileSpecs - candidate file specs

changeListId - if IChangelist.DEFAULT or larger than zero, lock all files associated this changelist ID

Returns:

non-null but possibly-empty list of locked file specs or errors

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

unlockFiles

java.util.List<IFileSpec> unlockFiles(java.util.List<IFileSpec> fileSpecs,
                                      int changeListId,
                                      boolean force)
                                      throws ConnectionException,
                                             AccessException

Release locked files but leave them open.

If the files are open in a specific pending changelist other than 'default', then the changeListId parameter is required to specify the pending changelist. If no file name is given then all files in the designated changelist are unlocked.

Note that the file specs returned are only partially filled out; the Perforce server seems to only return path information for this command.

Parameters:

fileSpecs - candidate file specs

changeListId - if IChangelist.DEFAULT or larger than zero, lock all files associated this changelist ID

force - force the lock on non-owned filespecs. Requires appropriate permissions.

Returns:

non-null but possibly-empty list of locked file specs or errors

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller

getDiffFiles

java.util.List<IFileSpec> getDiffFiles(java.util.List<IFileSpec> fileSpecs,

                                       boolean diffNonTextFiles,
                                       boolean openedDifferentMissing,
                                       boolean openedForIntegrate,

                                       boolean unopenedWithStatus,
                                       boolean openedSame)
                                       throws ConnectionException,

                                              AccessException

Return a list of files that differ in some (arbitrarily complex) way from depot. See the help documentation for the p4 diff command using the "-sx" (-sa, -sl, etc.) options for a full discussion of the options used below.

Note that this method returns lists of files, and is not useful to get the diffs themselves (at least not directly).

Note that the diff status returned for the unopenedWithStatus option is retrievable from the filespec with the getDiffStatus() method.

Note that you must have at least one of the various "-s" options set to true.

Parameters:

maxFiles -

fileSpecs - candidate file specs; may be null.

diffNonTextFiles - include non-text files in the diff lists

openedDifferentMissing - corresponds to the "-sa" option for the p4 command line.

openedForIntegrate - corresponds to the "-sb" option for the p4 command line.

unopenedMissing - corresponds to the "-sd" option for the p4 command line.

unopenedDifferent - corresponds to the "-se" option for the p4 command line.

unopenedWithStatus - corresponds to the "-sl" option for the p4 command line.

openedSame - corresponds to the "-sr" option for the p4 command line.

Returns:

non-null but possibly-empty list of qualifying filepecs.

Throws:

ConnectionException - if the Perforce server is unreachable or is not connected.

RequestException - if the Perforce server encounters an error during its processing of the request

AccessException - if the Perforce server denies access to the caller
