      One of Perforce customers strongly requests Buildfarm server support, specially for the following workflow;

      1. Create new Perforce workspaces
      2. Sync files to the Perforce workspaces
      3. Build
      4. Delete the Perforce workspaces

          Karl Wirth added a comment -

          Note: The above scenario is the only workflow that could work with build farm replicas. Anything that requires 'p4 revert' or  'p4 reconcile' to clean up the workspace or tries to publish a build/results to the Perforce server would fail.

           

          Therefore only the 'Populate options' called 'Sync only' could be supported without checking 'Revert any open or unshelved files'.
