I am using Visual Slickedit version 13.0.2 and am having problems hooking Perforce into it. I have read the docs and searched the forum, but have not found what I am in need of.. .In short, I am not able to get a "perforce project" open in visual Slickedit to be able to work with our version control system. I am not sure if it is my client spec that is the problem or something obvious I am missing. Here is what is going on.
The version of Perforce I have is: Rev. Perforce Visual Client/NTX86/2007.3/155579
I do have the SCC provider from perforce and it is setup and working just fine in Visual Studio 2008.
Ok, here is what I do:
I launch Visual Slick Edit
I goto Tools->Version Control->Setup
I Enable SCC Providers and select "Perforce SCM".
I select Initialize Provider
I then select "Open Project".
SlickEdit first prompts me with the Perforce Workspace connection dialog, which is fine and I am able to select the perforce client/workspace I work in.
I then get a second prompt which is to open a project, here is what I am not sure what to choose? and am unable to choose anything that would make sense for my setup... My client spec setup in perforce looks something like:
Root: D:\dev\MyApp\
View:
//depot/dev/Dir1/... //MyPerforceSpecName/dev/Dir1/...
//depot/dev/Dir2/... //MyPerforceSpecName/dev/Dir2/...
//depot/dev/Dir3/... //MyPerforceSpecName/dev/Dir3/...
//depot/dev/Dir4/...//MyPerforceSpecName/dev/Dir4/...
//depot/Tools/Dir1/...//MyPerforceSpecName/Tools/Dir1/...
//depot/Tools/Dir2/.. //MyPerforceSpecName/Tools/Dir2/...
//depot/Tools/Dir3/...//MyPerforceSpecName/Tools/Dir3/...
when the open project comes up, it shows me the //depot as my root and I can expand and see dev and tools, but I cannot select any of that and have to select inside it to a one of the dirs under dev or Tools, which is not what I want. My project is all the above?
Any thoughts/ideas welcome.
Thanks,
Andrew
