Question

I created a label using the new label context menu:
I defined the parameters as follows: (unlocked)

Label:
ms_test

Description:
Created by ms

view:

//depot/Projects/Shared/...    
//depot/Projects/AddIn/...

The label is created and shown in the label pane but when I select the label and click on the “List files at ms_test” menu item the log message states “Label ms_test points to 0 files“.
Any ideas about why the label is not pointing to any files? How can I make this label to work?
thank you in advance.

Note: I have checked that the view paths are correct and there are file contents and subfolders under then.
I am using P4 client version 2006.1.105584 with no filter on the depot and my client is set to client view of the depot

Answer 1

That means no p4 labelsync or p4 tag commands occurred after the p4 label took place.

Did you create the label as described here?

^{The following instructions apply to the Windows client (P4WIN) only.}

• Click the label toolbar button to show the labels page.
• Make a new label (right-click in the list); Give it a useful description.
• Restrict the View to that needed by the project being labelled (See Using Wildcards and – – Excluding Files for examples).
• Drag the project files from the depot over to the label;
  Select Add/Replace Files Listed in Label… from the popup menu.
  Perforce will open a dialog offering to replace the contents of the label.
• Click Ok to add the files.

Even if your label currently references no files, you still can sync it with files:

• Select the label from the Labels pane
• Right-click to bring up the shortcut menu
• Select Sync specific files to bring up a sync dialog
• Click Select All
• Click Ok
