perforce login issues

[mattsawyer77]

I attempted to use the perforce login command (which allowed my password to be displayed in clear text, minor issue there). It never seems to be able to login. I don't see any errors emitted from the login attempt, but when I try to do something subsequently, I see the following in the console:

Perforce: Perforce password (P4PASSWD) invalid or unset.

Hi Matt,

I will consider adding a warning for the password, unfortunately ST doesn't provide plugin developers with masked inputs.

I will look into your issue, I am not the person who developed the Login command, but I'll try to see tonight what I can do.

Thanks

Eric

Thanks Eric.

I would also suggest having the plugin look into the local ticket file first before asking for the password. That way if you're already logged in from the terminal or some other client, no need to login via Sublime Text.

Thanks for the reference!

The plugin was initially based only on p4 info (command line command) which works pretty well in most cases.

I'll look into adding the new feature, in the meantime I would suggest using p4 passwd (http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/cmdref/env.P4PASSWD.html) from the command line.

I'll keep this issue opened until I have more time to adjust the plugin

Thank you
