P4 Python error: file(s) not on client

Question

I am using the p4 Python module to try and open several files for edit. Basically I have a list of files that I am grabbing from a txt document. I then do some formatting to each item in the list and append those items to an empty list. My method is not the most efficient but I am just trying to get this to work before optimizing.

edit_files = []

with open('C:\\Users\\rgriffin\Desktop\\replace.txt', 'r' )as f:
    for line in f:
        l = line.partition(',')[0]
        e = l.replace('#(', '')
        r = e.replace('U:\\', '//Stream/main/')
        q= r.replace('\\', '/')
        edit_files.append(q)
f.close

for i in edit_files:
    p4.run("edit" , i)

With this code I get an error:

[Warning]: '"//Stream/main/Data/anims/stuff/char/Emotion_Angry.hkx" - file(s) not on client.'

If I change the last line to this...

p4.run("edit" , "//Stream/main/Data/anims/stuff/char/Emotion_Angry.hkx")

The file is checked out as expected. I did a type check and i is a string.

Input data:

#("U:\Data\anims\stuff\char\Emotion_Angry_Partial.hkx", "u:\Assets\Actors\stuff\char\Animation\char_Idle.max")

Did you tried print i ? what is the input txt document format ? — Archit Jain

Seems like quotes(") are there in your in your query. Try running p4.run("edit" , i.replace('"','')) — Archit Jain

print(i) results in "//Stream/main/Data/anims/stuff/car/Emotion_Angry.hkx" My text document is plain text. p4.run("edit" , i.replace('"','')) results in File "F:\replaceFile.py", line 27, in <module> p4.run("edit" , i.replace('"','')) File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\P4.py", line 533, in run result = P4API.P4Adapter.run(self, *self.__flatten(args)) P4.P4Exception: [P4#run] Warnings during command execution( "p4 edit " ) [Warning]: '\n - file(s) not on client.' — griffinanimator

there you go. You have extra quotes. Use : p4.run("edit" , i.replace('"','')) — Archit Jain

I am not sure if the document type would effect this as I am creating a string and appending it to the edit_files list. — griffinanimator

In the following command, there are quote characters at ends. Do remove them. Also seems like there are empty lines. Change

for i in edit_files:
    p4.run("edit" , i)

to

for i in edit_files:
    f=i.replace('"','').strip()
    if len(f)>0:
      print "Opening  ["+f+"]"
      p4.run("edit" , f)

or One liner

[p4.run("edit" , i.replace('"','').strip()) for i in edit_files if i.strip()]

Or you may want to change your populating code itself: Use:

with open('C:\\Users\\rgriffin\Desktop\\replace.txt', 'r' )as f:
    for line in f:
        l = line.partition(',')[0].replace('#(', '').replace('U:\\', '//Stream/main/').replace('\\', '/').replace('"', '').strip()
        if len(l)>0:
            edit_files.append(l)
f.close

Perfect thanks! On little edit. for i in edit_files: f=i.replace('"','').strip() print (f) if len(f)>0: print ("Opening ["+f+"]") p4.run("edit" , f)
