I've never played with the plugin, but it shouldn't be able to tell the difference between a client spec you create with the GUI versus one you create via the command line.
What I don't know is how (or if) the plugin edits the client spec to put the source code where Jenkins wants the code. So to go any further than this, you'll have to get an answer from somebody who's used the plugin.

The wiki told me to use p4 command line client, but I have no clue how it works, and since i'm not that good in english, the wiki page for that didn't really clear stuff out :p So I should just get the Visual client, set up a workspace, let him get all depot files in there 1 time, and then give the plugin the filepath to that folder?

I successfully installed hudson on a windows server 2008 R2 machina, and added the Perforce plugin. However i'm failing in the connection between the 2. I seem to be getting errors, if I follow the wiki page (wich is a bit different then my settings so it seems) The perforce server is hosted by a company, so I can't change anything. I'm using P4V client on my home computer, and that works fine (connecting to the p4 server, getting updated files, ...) But I don't really get how to configure the plugin, so hudson will also get all the files from our server, and (try to) make a build. Another difficulty is that my native language is not english, as you can see on some of the screenshots. I also don't really know what to fill in on the perforce plugin configuration. All I know is the server adres and my user name and password, more settings I don't really have (unless I can find them on the P4V client) I hope this odd explanation makes sence for someone so I can get this up and running; -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
