Question

I’m writing a test for a Python script that returns a list of submitters.

The following:

    new_user = self.p4.fetch_user('existing-user')
    new_user['User'] = 'new-user'
    self.p4.save_user(new_user)

emits:

P4Exception: [P4#run] Errors during command execution( "p4 user -i" )

[Error]: "Error in user specification.\nUser name can't be changed from 'existing-user'."

What’s the Python API call to create a new user?

Answer 1

New users are created automatically with:

self.p4 = p4python.P4.P4(user='new-user')
