P4DTI issue job000618

TitleAutomated release build script requires client with release/...
Statussuspended
Priorityoptional
Assigned userNick Barnes
OrganizationRavenbrook
DescriptionThe automated release build script tool/build.py fails with a mysterious error message if the current Perforce client view doesn't include project/p4dti/release/.... Note that having the new release (e.g. project/p4dti/release/1.5.0/... in the client view is insufficient.
AnalysisIdeally the build script wouldn't require an existing client at all. It already sets up temporary clients for constructing compressed code trees.
How foundmanual_test
EvidenceTry running python build.py with no Perforce client view.
Observed in1.5.0
