vim-perforce

Tools for Perforce integration

Builds a list of the current client's opened files and displays them in a scratch buffer, grouped by change.

Creates two mappings:

• <leader>po: Gets information about opened files from P4 and displays it in a named scratch window
• <leader>pp: Switches to the previously created scratch window, if it exists, otherwise gets the info from P4

Implementation

In order to cut down on P4 traffic, the plugin only executes three commands:

• p4 opened to get the list of opened files (depot names)
• p4 client to get the client view; depot names are translated to local names by the script, rather than via p4 where
• p4 changes -L -s pending -c <client_name> to get the first line of description for each pending change

Notes

• Currently supports UNIX file system paths only.
• Expects P4USER, P4PORT, P4CLIENT to be set (env or P4CONFIG)
• Expects p4 to be in the PATH
• Prompts for the P4 password if expired and calls p4 login

TODO

• Better error handling
• Add documentation
