In a depot with a folder structure like:
depot
subFolder1
subSubFolder1
subSubFolder2
subfolder2
Is it possible to map just //depot/subFolder1/...
to the workspace root on the local filesystem, so that it will contain directly subSubFolder1
and subSubFolder2
?
I am trying to specify the mapping for a virtual stream. I tried the following paths
mapping, but it maps the whole depot to the root for some reason.
exclude ...
import+ ... //depot/subFolder1/...
However, a mapping like this works to map subFolder1
to a subfolder in the workspace root (not directly to the root, which is what I want):
exclude ...
import+ subFolder1/... //depot/subFolder1/...
Note: If this isn't possible with a virtual stream, but is possible in a non-stream workspace mapping, please let me now, it's also an acceptable solution.
In theory you would be able to do this in a virtual stream (this is assuming that subFolder1
is a folder in the parent stream's Paths
, not in the depot root) with a Remapped
line:
Type: virtual
Paths:
share subFolder1/...
Remapped:
subFolder1/... ...
but there is currently a (long-standing) bug that doesn't allow Remapped
to work when the target is the root; you can remap the root to a subfolder, or any subfolder to any other subfolder, but unfortunately if you try to remap a subfolder to the root as above you get the error:
View '/...' must be relative and not contain leading slashes
so this is not presently workable.
In a classic client view it's simple:
View:
//depot/subFolder1/... //your-client/...
