I am using version 1.6.1 of the P4 plugin and evaluating the change introduced for JENKINS-43281.

My script invokes checkout as follows:

            checkout([$class: 'PerforceScm', credential: 'jenkinsbuild', populate: [$class: 'SyncOnlyImpl', have: true, modtime: false, parallel: [enable: false, minbytes: '1024', minfiles: '1', path: '/usr/local/bin/p4', threads: '4'], pin: '', quiet: true, revert: false], workspace: [$class: 'StaticWorkspaceImpl', charset: 'none', name: p4clientName, pinHost: true]])

 

I see the behavior shown in the attachment. There are two issues here. The first is that we are still creating the clone, so it doesn't look like the JIRA issue was really fixed. The second is that we are hitting a null pointer exception.

We should not be using this JIRA to track the update behavior of static-sync workspaces. That is more properly in 43281.
