Perforce - Unicode Server

Continua CI Discussion

Hi
We use Perforce in UTF-8[no bom] mode and when attempting to validate a repository we get:
'Unicode server permits only unicode enabled clients'

Is there some configuration change or option to make that work?


Thanks

Looks like you need to set the P4CHARSET environment variable on your server machine :

Note you will need to restart the Continua CI Server service after changing the environment variable.

Hi

It is set - that's the problem?

Thanks

I’m looking into this further… the perforce documentation is not very clear.

5

So it is set to utf8 on the continua server machine?

I have added support for setting the Charset (-C) and CommandCharset (-Q), will be in the next build (probably tomorrow).
