Unity Collaborate to Plastic SCM automatic migration: "client.conf" error


Background

Issue

After clicking "migrate" in a Unity prompt asking to migrate the project from Collaborate to Plastic SCM, the following error has appeared:

CmClientException: The client configuration file "client.conf" contains errors: Root element is missing.

The Plastic SCM tab in Unity does not show any information, and simply states "An unexpected error has occurred", with a sole option "Reload", upon clicking which, I get the following error:

Cancelling Display Dialog : This should not be called when a View's DrawRect Method is in progress

Trying to solve this issue, I have installed Plastic SCM Cloud version, but when I try to run the "PlasticSCM.app", I get the same first error ("client.conf" error: Root element is missing).


Solution

  • Solution from Unity Plastic SCM Support Team

    The client.conf file in question is located in a hidden directory:

    /Users/<USERNAME>/.plastic4
    

    You should rename/delete the client.conf file with all GUIs closed so that it rebuilds on the next (Unity) start.

    Additional option

    You could also give a try PlasticXSCM, a multi platform client with a couple of useful features.
