Perforce Example Triggers
===

This project is to show examples of triggers for Perforce.

P4NetContentTrigger 
===

This is an example of a change-content trigger - with the following features:

* written in C# (Visual Studio 2010 but should be forwards compatible)
* uses P4API.NET
* shows how to turn on logging of all API calls (useful for debugging)
* has a Python test harness (showing live trigger installation - based on other work)

Usage
--

Install an entry in triggers table similar to:

    ValidateContent submit-content //depot/... "P4NetContentTrigger.exe -p %serverport% -u p4admin -c %changelist%"

The above assumes a user called "p4admin" with appropriate privileges to read the requiredand
changelists, and with a login ticket accessible via the environment (so set
P4TICKETS in the environment of your service and ensure this user is logged in and
part of a Perforce group with Timeout: field set to "unlimited").
   
Parameters to P4NetContentTrigger.exe:

  -p, --port       (uses environment if not defined) P4PORT to connect to
  
  -u, --user       (uses environment if not defined) P4USER to connect as
  
  -c, --change     Required. Changelist to process/validate.
  
  -t, --testing    (Default: False) Testing mode - if first line of a file contains 'fail' will return error otherwise success.
  
  -v, --verbose    (Default: False) Makes sure log4net logging is set to Debug level. Otherwise edit log4net.properties file.
  
  -h, --help
