I already figured out how to branch and submit my changes however since I use a project management platform like Jira I also need to write a description on each check ins. This is my code for branching :
result = p4.run("populate", Path+"/...@"+ Changelist, destination)
Where do I write the description? Right now the description is the command itself.
C:\Perforce\test\python>p4 help populate
populate -- Branch a set of files as a one-step operation
p4 populate [options] fromFile[rev] toFile
p4 populate [options] -b branch [-r] [toFile[rev]]
p4 populate [options] -b branch -s fromFile[rev] [toFile]
p4 populate [options] -S stream [-P parent] [-r] [toFile[rev]]
options: -d description -f -m max -n -o
so:
result = p4.run(
"populate",
"-d",
"My awesome description",
f"{src_path}/...@{changelist}",
f"{dst_path}/..."
)
You can also use the integrate and submit commands (note that this requires that dst_path is part of your client view since the files will be opened on your client prior to submit):
p4.run("integrate", f"{src_path}/...@{changelist}", f"{dst_path}/...")
p4.run("submit", "-d", "My awesome description")
