Instance Method Details

- (Object) require_p4

This will ensure that the environment contains a p4 handle that is configured using our typical hws_settings options.

It should be rare to actually require using this method. This is typically generated by authentication middleware.

The p4 is possibly not connected or logged in.

def require_p4
  unless env.key?('p4')
    p4 = P4Util.open_from_env(env)
    p4.connect
    env['p4'] = p4
  end
end

- (Object) require_p4_with_temp_client

This ensures that the p4 handle has an associated temporary client workspace.

The local temporary directory is saved under 'p4_root'.
