Rider Perforce, Error Updating changes,

The Perforce tab in my Rider is continually out of date
Whilst it can show changlists created in Rider, it also maintains lists that no longer exist, shows files as checked out that are not check out and does not update with either of the (force) Refresh buttons.

At the bottom of the panel I see a message:
"Error updating changes: No Translation for parameter 'data' value '4368616E6............' (this number is hundreds of characters long)

I've tried deleting  the idea folder, removing and re-adding the perforce, but it still seems to remember some broken data (and indeed my connection settings once I turn version control back on), so I guess it's storing the data somewhere else?

What can I do to fix this?

Hello Robin,

Thank you for contacting Rider support.
Apologies for keeping you so long without an answer.

We are sorry to hear that you encountered such a problem.

Your Perforce connection information is stored under the .idea folder. If after removing the folder and Rider restart it still remembers your Perforce connection details, these details are likely in the .p4config file or in your environment variables.

First of all, if your Rider version is lesser than 2023.2.1, we recommend updating Rider to the latest version as we add significant. It also contains several improvements for Perforce integration.

If the issue is still relevant in 2023.2.1

I suggest trying the following steps to see if that helps:

  • Close Rider;
  • Delete the .idea folder in your project folder;
  • Ensure p4 set invoked from terminal in workspace folder prints the correct output;
  • Open Rider and enable Perforce integration via VCS | Enable Version Control Integration | Perforce;
  • If it doesn't help:
    • Open the File | Settings | Version Control | Directory Mappings settings page and edit the entry that exists there;
    • Select the Directory radiobutton and select either workspace folder nor project folder;
    • Press Save and check if that helps.
  • Also, you might find switching the File Settings | Version Control | Changelists | Inactive Changelist | When an empty changelist becomes inactive option to Remove Silently helpful.

If the problem still persists, please let me know.

Have a nice day!
