[p4] Uncheckout other user's file?

Hi,

I've been hunting for this answer for an hour, and just can't determine how to
do so. How can I revert another user's checkout, as an admin? Just one of the
many files in the other user's default changelist.

<gasp>feeling dumb about asking....</gasp>

You'll have to impersonate the perforce user and client to do the revert,
which may possibly require you to reset their password. I dislike this as
well, and have asked perforce to allow supers to revert files on other
clients.

Thanks for the fast reply!

I just found the solution:

1) I changed the other user's workspace's host field to nothing (to allow me to
use it from my machine).

2) I used the -c on p4 command to specify to use the other user's workspace
along with the revert command:
p4 -c otherworkspacename revert //thefilename

Ah, that makes sense. You really don't need to be that user, you just have
to use the right client.

If you are running a recent server, super users can login as other
users, so you could do something like:
$ p4 login luser
$ p4 -u luser -H hostname -c clientname revert //clientname/...
$ p4 -u luser logout

Of course, depending on one's needs, the other way is to simply delete the
user's client spec.

This is my preferred method for reverting files of users who have left the
company, but probably not ideal for other situations.

You can revert all files on another users checkout by deleting their client spec (p4 client -d -f <clientspec>).

If you use the login command under your own account, you can then use login
to login as another user, and it will do so since you are the super user,
and will not ask for their password.

So, you would do something like this:

p4 login
Enter your password.
p4 login username
Set P4USER=username
Run commands as username

Thanks,
Rusty

True, and then using "-f" to change the other user's workspace would solve
that problem, as an admin.

Another small caveat with this that I stumbled upon. If that other
user's client has the root directory set to a read-only or non-existent
location, the revert will fail.

That is, my Windows machine has only C: as a hard drive, and D: as the
CD-ROM. I was trying to revert a client's file which had the root dir
setup to D:\workspace, and the revert couldn't happen. I ended up doing
this:
$ p4 client -o usersClient > usersClient.spec
$ p4 client -f usersClient
(change the root dir)
$ p4 revert (all the wonderful options for looking like the other
user) //filespec
$ p4 client -f -i < usersClient.spec

I have no idea what behavior you'll see if the other client is on a
different platform than your own (Windows vs. Unix vs. Mac)
