I've just set up Perforce on my home computer so that I can work at home without having to lug my work computer around.
I used the same workspace as the one I use at work, but when I try to get the latest revision, I don't get all of the files. Some subfolders are missing despite being mapped like this: //depot/some_folder/... //My_Workspace/some_folder/... some_folder has a subfolder some_subfolder but my workspace didn't pull that folder in for some reason... None of the other lines in "View" have anything to do with some_folder so I don't think they are the issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
The Perforce server tracks what files you pull in your workspace. This is done for speed, so when you do a "Get latest revision" it will only pull the files that need to be updated. Since you are using the same workspace, Perforce thinks you have them in sync already. You have 2 options.
Use p4 sync -f //files/... (If your using p4v, right click->Get revision, then in the options click the Force checkbox) This will tell perforce to sync everything to the latest revision. But then you will have to use this option at work and home, since Perforce will now think you have everything in sync, when really only the files at home are in sync.
Use a different workspace for home and work.
