Receiving the error "Partner exited Unexpectedly"
You need to set up P4 correctly.
Please navigate to your P4 repository in the Assembla WebApp. Then, open the Instructions sub-tab and ensure you've follow the steps there to configure your environmental variables.
Note: When you install Perforce, it asks you to select a path for your workspace. Make sure to use the same workspace directory while setting the variables.
Addressing common errors
error: Submit aborted -- fix problems then use 'p4 submit -c 1543' ....
This means you have hit your perforce license limit. You either need to purchase more licenses from your Account page, or remove some of your users using the following processes:
Check the list of all active clients using 'p4 clients'.
Kill unwanted users with 'p4 client -d client_name'.
Unable to connect to the server perforce.assembla.com:1666 as user [*]
Please do the following:
Windows: set P4HOST=workspace_name && “C:\Program Files\Perforce\p4v”
Mac & Linux: export P4HOST=workspace_name && /Applications/P4/p4v.app/Contents/MacOS/p4v
By doing this, you will start p4v from the same console in which you exported P4HOST var before.
Running the command "p4 info" and the line about client name says it's illegal
Console Perforce client will set client name to P4HOST value if P4CLIENT is not present.
Because Perforce host names in Assembla may contain slashes, it will assume the client name is illegal, but nothing prevents you from setting another client name. You can set it by using P4CLIENT env variable, or by providing -c option to console client.
Experiencing very slow connection speed when trying to upload to a P4 depot on my space
You may want to try to disable TCP window auto-tuning, and see if it helps. You can do this with:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
And to bring it back:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
There are some other tweaks to solve flaky connection issues on Windows. You can refer to this guide.
You can also try to switch to plain TCP connection by updating your P4HOST to perforce.assembla.com:1666
Continuing to not work although everything is configured correctly
In that case, please contact support at support@assembla.com and mention that you have followed all of our instructions here and you are still unable to access to Perforce.
