Question

I am trying to write a method to create a new change list in perforce using the p4java api. I am able to connect to the server, get an IFileSpec list, sync files and check if files/folders exist.

However, I am unable to create a new change list. I tried the method on this page with no luck… If anybody has an example they could share I would appreciate it!

The part of code failing me is,

167: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class OptionsServer
location: class tools.test.PerforceSyncer
                    (OptionsServer)iServer

Answer 1

The solution was that instead of

Changelist changeListImpl = new Changelist(
        IChangelist.UNKNOWN,
        iClient.getName(),
        "tom",
        ChangelistStatus.NEW,
        new Date(),
        "New changelist",
        false,
   ---->(OptionsServer)iServer
        );

Should have been

 Changelist changeListImpl = new Changelist(
        IChangelist.UNKNOWN,
        iClient.getName(),
        "tom",
        ChangelistStatus.NEW,
        new Date(),
        "New changelist",
        false,
   ---->(Server)iServer
        );
