.p4config does not work

Hello Arata,

Thank you for contacting Rider support.

I am sorry to know that you encounter such difficulties.

First, I suggest ensuring that the .p4config is located either under the Workspace root folder (path/to/Workspace/.p4config) nor under the project root folder (/path/to/Workspace/Project/.p4config)

Second, I suggest verifying the full file name. Is it exactly .p4config or a .p4config.txt (the file extension might be not visible by default). If the file is actually named as .p4config.txt, you can to either try p4 set p4config=.p4config.txt nor removing the .txt extension from the filename.

Third, ensure there is an entry on the Settings | Version Control | Directory Mappings settings page.

If nothing of that helps, we would appreciate it if you could share Rider logs with us:

• Enable perforce logger: Press Shift+Shift → type and select “Debug Log Settings” → paste #org.jetbrains.idea.perforce to the textbox opened → press Save;
• Reproduce the issue (press “Test Connection” from the settings);
• Collect logs Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data;
• Disable the logger enabled earlier;
• Upload it to the Upload Service and let me know the Upload ID;

Have a nice day!

Hi Dmitry,

Thank you for your reply.

The check you gave me didn't have the problem.
I was looking into uploading the logs and found that Unreal Engine was also having the same problem so I searched the Dev Community for posts about a similar issue.
I found out from the post that the problem was on the P4V side, 
and  the problem was resolved.

The following steps were necessary on the P4V side, although this is a simplified explanation

OpenP4V > “Connection” tab > “Enviroment Settings…” > observe the enviroment information.
unselect the checkbox for “Use current connection for enviroment settings” > click OK
