Perforce error since upgrade to 5.5.1f1

Unity Engine
1

Hello,

Since I upgraded from 5.4.4f1 to 5.5.1f1 I get the error “Password must be set before access can be granted”.

The password is set, and has always been valid in previous Unity versions, so I guess something is wrong there. Anyone else has this issue?

Thanks,
Alex

Ok, I solved this myself, I had a typo in the username.

As usual, perforce has very helpful error messages…

Glad you resolved it your own.
In this context would more error messages be helpful?
We could log out the connection information when the connection fails eg
server name + port
username
workspace name

I don’t think it would be sensible to plain text log the password

Definitely not the password in plain text indeed :slight_smile:

I’d rather have more accurate error messages, as in an error message that says “unknown user name”. Not sure if that’s possible though.

Password must be set before access can be granted

Is the error we get back from the Perforce server. There might be a security setting on the Perforce server to force a different username eg “unknown user” but also that might be considered a security risk.
