  • If you used regular filesystem moves, p4 may have registered them as separate deletes and adds. Depending on workspace configuration, Perforce may not propagate deletes from the depot, so old copies might be left behind. Always move files in a workspace using P4V, your Perforce plugin, or the p4 mv command to ensure file continuity. If done properly, this will appear as add/move and delete/move.

    But if things aren’t showing up in new places, it’s likely you referred some things you didn’t mean to or didn’t commit everything. Check to see if you still have anything checked out. Also worth noting that empty directories don’t exist as far as Perforce is concerned.







  • Check what your testing organization is using first. We’re using Selenium at work, except for one small team that used Cypress because they couldn’t be bothered to find out what the test of us were using, so now that team is faced with either maintaining their own version of the CI pipeline and their own tooling (and not having anyone to ask for advice) or rewriting all of their tests. Not an enjoyable choice to have to make.


  • The Danish word for 99 is nioghalvfems, which literally means “nine and half five.” Which you could be forgiven for assuming meant 11½. The trick is that a) “half five” actually means 4½, as in half less than five, and b) it’s implied that you’re supposed to multiply the second part by 20. So the proper math is 9 + (-½ + 5) * 20 = 99.
