How to tell Plastic SCM Cloud that I already have downloaded repos

Unity Services

Hi,

I recently reformatted my windows to do a clean install.

Previously and currently still, all my unity projects are on a different drive.

I have reinstalled plastic scm cloud but cannot work out how to tell it that i already have all the projects.

Example - the cloud says I have Project 1 to download, but I already have Project 1 on the machine.

How do I stop it from saying download Project 1 and get it to link back up to my already downloaded and up to date Project 1 on my machine?

Thanks,

Luke

Within your local configuration files…

  • %localappdata%\plastic4 on Windows
  • ~/.plastic4 on Mac and Linux

…there needs to be a file called…
plastic.workspaces
…within this file, each workspace needs to be listed on a separate line in the following format…
WorkspaceGUID NameOfWorkspace PathToWorkspace

The WorkspaceGUID and NameOfWorkspace can be found in the hidden…
.plastic/plastic.workspace
…file at the root of each workspace.

Hope this helps!

Awesome

Okay I have added my WorkspaceGUID, NameOfWorkspace and PathToWorkspace to the plastic.workspaces in the local app data. I got that info from the hidden plastic.workspace just like you said.

Is there now another step to get plastic scm to recognise it as a workspace? As mine still isnt seeing/recognising it

Scratch that - I created another empty local repo, then went into the plastic.workspaces and changed it to the one I had on my drive with the .plastic/plastic.workspace. It caused an error ont he local temp one, but it has now found my proper repo and re linked it again. I may have messed up your original instructions and done it wrong, but i got it working. Thanks for the help!
