+ # P4Ruby
4
+ P4Ruby is a wrapper for the P4 C++ API in Ruby.
4
5
 
5
- ## Introduction
6
+ P4Ruby is a Ruby module that provides an object-oriented API to Helix Core server. Using P4Ruby is faster than using the command-line interface in scripts, because multiple command can be executed on a single connection, and because it returns Helix server responses as Ruby hashes and arrays.
6
7
 
7
- P4Ruby is a native Ruby gem that allows you to run Perforce commands from
8
- Ruby applications, and retrieve the results in a Ruby-friendly format.
8
+ ## Requirements
9
+ For P4Ruby requirements see "Compatibility Statements" in [RELNOTES](https://github.com/perforce/p4ruby/blob/master/RELNOTES.txt#L99)
9
10
 
10
- P4Ruby is intended to work against a corresponding version of the Perforce
11
- C++ API, e.g., P4Ruby 2017.1 will be compiled using a 2017.1 version
12
- of the P4API. You can always install P4Ruby specifying a specific version of
13
- the P4API.
11
+ ## Documentation
12
+ Official documentation is located on the [Perforce website](https://www.perforce.com/manuals/p4ruby/Content/P4Ruby/Home-p4ruby.html)
14
13
 
15
- To determine the version of your P4Ruby, and which version of the
16
- P4API it has been built with, issue the following command:
17
-
18
- ruby -rP4 -e "puts P4.identify"
19
-
20
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
21
-
22
- ### Installing P4Ruby
23
-
24
- As of 2014.2, the recommended mechanism for installing P4Ruby is via
25
- rubygems.org.
26
-
27
- Before installing, please take care that any older version of P4Ruby that
28
- may have been installed outside of the Gem process is removed from your
29
- gempath. The older installation process can not be easily removed and may
30
- conflict with a gem-based install. Make sure that both P4.rb and P4.so (or
31
- P4.bundle on OS X) are not available within the load path of Ruby. You can
32
- use the `puts $:` command in `irb` to determine your current load path.
33
-
34
- Outside of Windows, p4ruby gem installs must be compiled locally against
35
- your installation of Ruby. If you can build the core Ruby distribution
36
- locally, you likely can install P4Ruby without incident. On Windows,
37
- precompiled gems are available, which already include the P4API and OpenSSL.
38
-
39
- The main command to install p4ruby is via gem or bundler. (When using the
40
- default system rubies from OS X or the CentOS Software Collections Library,
41
- see 'Problems Specifying P4API' below.)
42
-
43
- gem install p4ruby
44
-
45
- This will download a corresponding version of the p4api from ftp.perforce.com,
46
- and will automatically include the openssl version you have locally.
47
-
48
- If you have downloaded the p4api and unpacked it, you can specify it using the
49
- `--with-p4api-dir` option.
50
-
51
- gem install p4ruby -- --with-p4api-dir=DIR
52
-
53
- In this case, the DIR above is the path to the C++ API distribution that
54
- should match the major and minor version of P4Ruby. If you omit the
55
- --with-p4api-dir option, the gem will attempt to download a version of the
56
- API itself from ftp.perforce.com.
57
-
58
- Alternatively, you can use Bundler (http://bundler.io). In your Gemfile,
59
- specify
60
-
61
- gem 'p4ruby', '~> 2017.1'
62
-
63
- And then execute:
64
-
65
- bundle --with-p4api-dir=DIR
66
-
67
- #### Problems Specifying P4API
68
-
69
- On older Ruby platforms, such as the default OS X or ruby193 CentOS
70
- distributions, issues can arise when specifying the P4API directly via
71
- the command line.
72
-
73
- In these cases, you may need to indicate the include and lib directories
74
- directly:
75
-
76
- gem install p4ruby -- --with-p4api-dir=DIR \
77
- --with-p4-api-include=DIR/include \
78
- --with-p4-api-lib=DIR/lib
79
-
80
- An alternative is to specify the P4API directory using the `p4api_dir`
81
- environment variable.
82
-
83
-
84
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
85
-
86
- ### Building P4Ruby from Source on Linux or OS X
87
-
88
- 1. Download the Perforce C++ API from the Perforce FTP site at
89
- "ftp://ftp.perforce.com/perforce". The API archive is located
90
- in release and platform-specific subdirectories and is named
91
- "p4api.tgz".
92
-
93
- __IMPORTANT__: Mac OS X users MUST use the 'darwin' variant
94
- of the Perforce API. Using the 'macos' variant
95
- does not work.
96
-
97
- Note: 32-bit builds of P4Ruby require a 32-bit version of the
98
- C++ API and a 32-bit version of Ruby. 64-bit builds of
99
- P4Ruby require a 64-bit version of the C++ API and a
100
- 64-bit version of Ruby.
101
-
102
- Unzip the archive into an empty directory.
103
-
104
- 2. Extract the P4Ruby API archive into a new, empty directory.
105
-
106
- 3. In the p4ruby source directory, install dependencies:
107
-
108
- bundle install
109
-
110
- 3. In the p4ruby source directory, build the gem:
111
-
112
- p4api_dir=<absolute path to Perforce C++ API> rake compile
113
-
114
- 4. Test your distribution, which relies on a locally installed p4d.
115
-
116
- rake test
117
-
118
- If `p4d` is not available on your path, indicate it via the `P4D_BIN`
119
- environment variable before running `rake test`.
120
-
121
- 5. Install P4Ruby into your local gem cache:
122
-
123
- rake install
124
-
125
- #### SSL support
126
-
127
- Perforce Server 2012.1 and later supports SSL connections and the
128
- C++ API has been compiled with this support. For applications that
129
- do not requireSSL support the C++ API provides a stub library
130
- (libp4sslstub.*) to satisfy the linker requirements.
131
-
132
- If the P4Ruby build detects that OpenSSL is available, it will be
133
- included by default. To disable, execute the gem command using
134
- --without-ssllib. If you want to use libraries deployed to nonstandard
135
- paths, you will have to alter ext/P4/extconf.rb and include the
136
- dir_config() directives appropriate for your system.
137
-
138
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
139
-
140
- ### Compatibility Statements
141
-
142
- #### Server Compatibility
143
-
144
- You can use any release of P4Ruby with any release of the
145
- Perforce server later than 2001.1
146
-
147
- You should use a version of P4Ruby built against a corresponding version
148
- of the P4API that matches your Perforce server version. Since 2014.2,
149
- you should try to use the same major and minor variation of P4Ruby as
150
- used by the Perforce server. Ergo, against Perforce server version 2017.1,
151
- you would want a P4Ruby version that starts with 2017.1.
152
-
153
- #### API Compatibility
154
-
155
- The 2017.1 release of P4Ruby supports the 2017.1 Perforce API.
156
- Older releases might work but are not supported.
157
-
158
- #### Ruby Compatibility
159
-
160
- The 2017.1 release of P4Ruby is supported by installing the gem
161
- with Ruby MRI releases 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3, with shared library
162
- support.
163
-
164
- For detailed compatibility, please check the following table:
165
-
166
- Ruby Release | P4Ruby Release
167
- ===================================
168
- <2.0 | 2011.1 or later (unsupported)
169
- 2.0 | 2014.1 or later
170
- 2.1 | 2014.2 or later
171
- 2.2 | 2014.2 or later
172
- 2.3 | 2017.1 or later
173
-
174
- It is recommended that you use a Ruby distribution that can deploy
175
- native gems easily, which, outside of Windows means obtaining a source
176
- distribution of ruby and building it locally. This is easily done via RVM,
177
- and can be installed system-wide, with other features (like wrappers) that
178
- allow you to update the local installation of Ruby as security patches are
179
- released. If using RVM, be sure to use --disable-binary when installing
180
- your version of Ruby, to avoid any precompiled distributions that may not
181
- have shared library support configured, which is needed for Ruby
182
- extensions.
183
-
184
- In general, Ruby VMs installed via package managers are not officially
185
- coordinated with the MRI releases available on ruby-lang.org.
186
-
187
- We do verify that p4ruby works with Ruby 1.9 on Debian (and Ubuntu), and
188
- on CentOS 6 using the Software Collections Library. These are considered
189
- "stable" distributions, and do receive security updates.
190
-
191
- Other versions of Ruby, such as the default distribution of OS X may not
192
- work. The default OS X Ruby is infrequently updated by Apple, and is known
193
- to contain issues that do not seem to be patched.
194
-
195
- #### OpenSSL Compatibility
196
-
197
- To build P4Ruby with encrypted communication support, you must
198
- use the version of OpenSSL that Perforce C/C++ API has been
199
- built against. Running P4Ruby linked to an older library will
200
- fail with the error:
201
-
202
- "SSL library must be at least version 1.0.1."
203
-
204
- The 2017.1 release of P4Ruby is supported with OpenSSL 1.0.2
205
-
206
- For detailed compatibility, please check the following table:
207
-
208
- Perforce C/C++ API Version | OpenSSL Release
209
- ============================================
210
- 2012.1 | 1.0.0
211
- 2012.2 | 1.0.1g+
212
- 2014.1 | 1.0.1g+
213
- 2014.2 | 1.0.1i+
214
- 2015.1 | 1.0.1i+
215
- 2015.2 | 1.0.1i+
216
- 2017.1 | 1.0.2l+
217
-
218
-
219
- #### Platform Compatibility
220
-
221
- Note: As of 2012.1, a universal build of the Perforce C/C++
222
- API is no longer available for Darwin. P4Ruby is now
223
- a 64-bit only library on Darwin and must be built with
224
- a 64-bit version of the Perforce C/C++ API for Darwin.
225
- This has been tested with a universal build of Ruby and
226
- is known to work.
227
-
228
- #### Compiler Compatibility
229
-
230
- To build P4Ruby from source, you must use a version of Ruby that
231
- has been compiled with the same compiler used to build the
232
- Perforce C++ API: for most platforms, use gcc/g++.
233
-
234
- Attempting to use a different compiler or a different version
235
- of the compiler causes linker errors due to differences in name
236
- handling between compilers.
237
-
238
- #### Compatibility with Previous Releases
239
-
240
- Unless otherwise stated below, the 2017.1 release of P4Ruby is
241
- compatible with previous releases from Perforce Software.
242
-
243
- #### Known Limitations
244
-
245
- The Perforce client-server protocol is not designed to support
246
- multiple concurrent queries over the same connection. For this
247
- reason, multi-threaded applications using the C++ API or the
248
- script APIs (P4Perl, P4Ruby, etc.) should ensure that a
249
- separate connection is used for each thread or that only one
250
- thread may use a shared connection at a time.
251
-
252
-
253
- ## Deleted Methods
254
-
255
- The following methods have been deleted from the `P4` class and
256
- are no longer available:
257
-
258
- - `output` The output is returned by the `run*` methods
259
- - `parse_forms` Form parsing is now always on
260
- - `tagged` See tagged? and tagged= below.
261
-
262
- ## Tagged Mode and Form Parsing
263
-
264
- In P4Ruby, both form parsing and tagged output are on by
265
- default.
266
-
267
- Form parsing cannot be explicitly disabled, but tagged output can
268
- be turned on and off by setting p4.tagged as follows:
269
-
270
- p4.tagged = false # Disabled
271
- p4.tagged = true # Enabled
272
-
273
- Because form parsing does not work when tagged output is disabled,
274
- this method can be used to disable form parsing if necessary.
275
-
276
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
277
- ## Change overview
278
-
279
- This document lists all user-visible changes to P4Ruby
280
- from release 2007.3, the first supported P4Ruby release.
281
-
282
- Perforce numbers releases YYYY.R/CCCCC, e.g. 2002.1/30547.
283
- YYYY is the year; R is the release of that year; CCCCC is the
284
- bug fix change level. Each bug fix in these release notes is
285
- marked by its change number. Any build includes (1) all bug fixes
286
- of all previous releases and (2) all bug fixes of the current
287
- release up to the bug fix change level.

- New functionality in 2015.2
306
-
307
- - (SIR#78548 / P4RUBY-193)
308
-
309
- Release native P4Ruby gems for x86-mingw32 and x64-mingw32.
310
- Until this point, the only source gems have been available. These gems
311
- will allow Windows users for 32 or 64-bit Ruby 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2 to easily
312
- install P4Ruby.
313
-
314
- Changes in both 2015.2.0.pre0 and 2015.1.0
315
-
316
- - Applied change to P4ClientApi::SetCharset, that if it is set to "none", then
317
- we will ignore the setting. The P4API enviro file handling seems to always
318
- create this setting and apply it in various circumstances.
319
-
320
- Changes in 2015.1.0
321
-
322
- - Updated spec mappings in specmgr.cpp to be up to date with the 2015.1 P4API
323
-
324
- - Allow the P4_BIN environment variable to be set to point to a p4d for the
325
- testing library (used by the `rake test` task).
326
-
327
- New functionality in 2014.2
328
-
329
- - (SIR#28879 / P4RUBY-25)
330
-
331
- Release P4Ruby as Gem. Until this point, the gems available
332
- on rubygems.org were unofficial builds, and prone to fail in
333
- non-interactive environments like bundler.
334
-
335
- - (SIR#75097 / P4RUBY-169)
336
-
337
- Add `enviro_file` property to P4 object, which underneath, uses the
338
- new `SetEnviroFile`/`GetEnviroFile` mechanism from the 14.2 C++ API.
339
-
340
- Changes in 2014.2.0.pre6
341
-
342
- - Documented workarounds to installation failures on the OS X default Ruby
343
- installation.
344
-
345
- Changes in 2014.2.0.pre5
346
-
347
- - Fixed an issue where using the --with-p4api-dir option to gem install
348
- would not actually set up the include and lib compilation directory
349
- correctly.
350
-
351
- - No longer distributing precompiled builds for linux or OS X due to
352
- inadequate information from gem to match the Ruby distribution correctly.
353
-
354
- - No longer embedding the C++ P4API to keep the total file size down to
355
- allow the gem to be distributed via RubyGems.org.
356
-
357
- - Changed logic to call p4.charset=nil if charset is already nil or resolves
358
- to 'none'. Internally, this will trigger a call to ClientApi::SetTrans(0),
359
- which should disable character set autodetection.
360
-
361
- Bugs fixed in 2014.2.0.pre4
362
-
363
- - (BUG#77207 / P4RUBY-176)
364
- If the user has specified 'P4CHARSET=none' in a configuration file, or
365
- has not set p4.charset='auto' (and it's default value was initialized to
366
- 'none' by the C++ API), automatically disable character set detection.
367
- This can cause the API to break when connecting to non-unicode servers
368
- even though it appears to be configured to not be a unicode client.
369
-
370
- - The default C++ API version should be included with the gem source, to
371
- avoid calls to ftp.perforce.com.
372
-
373
- Bugs fixed in 2014.2.0.pre3
374
-
375
- - (BUG#75096 / P4RUBY-168)
376
- Spec mappings updated to 14.2 definitions.

-
378
- - (TASK#76795 / P4RUBY-176)
379
- Configuring pre-compiled gems for Linux and OS X, for supported
380
- Ruby versions (2.0, 2.1, 2.2).
381
-
382
- Bugs fixed in 2014.2.0.pre2
383
-
384
- - (BUG#76321 / P4RUBY-171)

392
- - 807216 (SIR#70070)
393
-
394
- P4Ruby now supports the P4IGNORE file feature introduced
395
- in the 2013.2 server. Three new methods have been added
396
- to support this functionality:
397
-
398
- P4#ignore_file - Report current file
399
- P4#ignore_file= - Set ignore file
400
- P4#ignored?( <file> ) - Test if <file> is
401
- ignored

430
- - 505980 (Bug #56514)
431
-
432
- Support for the new progress indicator API. P4Ruby
433
- supplies a new progress attribute, which can take an
434

467
- Instructions on how to compile with SSL support can be found
468
- at the top of this document under "Building P4Ruby from Source"
469
- and in the documentation.
470
-
471
- P4.identify will report the version of the OpenSSL library
472
- used to build the Perforce C++ API (not the version P4Ruby
473
- is linked against).
474
-
475
- - 415643

- New functionality in 2011.1
506
-
507
- - 405913
508
-
509
- New method P4#messages() returns all messages from the
510
- server as objects. Script writers can test the severity
511
- of the messages to know if they are output messages (E_INFO),
512
- warnings (E_WARN), or errors (E_FAILED/E_FATAL).
513
-
514
- P4#errors() and P4#warnings still return the errors and
515
- warnings as strings for backwards compatibility.
516
-
517
- P4::Message objects have the following methods:
518
-
519
- P4::Message#severity - Returns the severity of the
520
- message, which may be one of the
521
- following values:
522
-
523
- E_EMPTY # nothing yet
524
- E_INFO # something good happened
525
- E_WARN # something not good happened
526
- E_FAILED # user did something wrong
527
- E_FATAL # system broken -- nothing can continue
528
-
529
- P4::Message#generic - Returns the generic class of
530
- the error, which may be one
531
- of the following values:
532
-
533
- EV_NONE # misc
534
- EV_USAGE # request not consistent with dox
535
- EV_UNKNOWN # using unknown entity
536
- EV_CONTEXT # using entity in wrong context
537
- EV_ILLEGAL # trying to do something you can't
538
- EV_NOTYET # something must be corrected first
539
- EV_PROTECT # protections prevented operation
540
- EV_EMPTY # action returned empty results

546
- EV_COMM # communications error
547
- EV_TOOBIG # not even Perforce can handle this much
548
-
549
- P4::Message#msgid - Return the unique ID of the

557
- - 338410 (Bug #47374)
558
-
559
- P4Ruby supports setting values in the registry (on those
560
- platforms that support it).
561
-
562
- The command P4#set_env( var, val ) will set a registry
563
- variable on platforms that support this action or raise
564
- a P4Exception for those that don't.
565
-
566
- The command P4#set_env( var, "" ) unsets a registry variable.
567

576
-
577
- - 328203 (Bug #45861)
578
-
579
- Enable streams in P4Ruby by default. With this change,
580
- streams specific specs such as streams depots are listed.
581
- Disable the listing of streams specific specs by either
582
- setting the api_level to a value below 70 or by disabling
583
- stream handling explicitly through the P4.streams attribute:
584
-
585
- p4.streams = false
586
-
587
- - 322353 (Bug #42250)
588
-
589
- P4Ruby supports a callback interface by providing a
590
- P4#handler attribute. Set P4#handler to an instance of a
591
- subclass of P4::OutputHandler to enable callbacks.
592
- When a handler is defined, P4Ruby will invoke the handler
593
- for every response it receives from the Perforce Server
594
- immediately instead of collecting all results together in
595
- an array first. This can be used to make applications more
596
- scalable and more responsive if large results are expected.
597
- See the documentation for details on the OutputHandler class.

606
- There is still an oddity when p4.track = 1 and a user runs
607
- p4.run_print() on a file that only has lines starting with
608
- '--- '. In that case, the output of the print is lost.
609
-
610
- Disable tracking by setting p4.track = 0 (the default) will

741
-
742
- - 230191
743
-
744
