问题
I'm trying to set up Perforce integration in IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.2. There is a field named "Client" that doesn't make sense to me. I get the message "Connection problems: Client Unknown" whatever I type into the field. What should I enter into that field?
回答1:
You need to enter the name of your Perforce workspace.
If you have set up the command line tool correctly you may run p4 set P4CLIENT on the command-line.
If you use the P4V GUI tool, the workspace name is easily found.
回答2:
Open P4V and connect. On the top left, above everything, there are your:
[client], [port], [user] - Perforce P4V
They often look something like:
[client] ~ [your-name]_[random-letters-and-numbers]
[port] ~ [url]:[number]
[user] ~ [your-name]
Enter them in IntelliJ and press Apply.
Edit:
If you only see
[port], [user] - Perforce P4V
you need to go to Connection -> New workspace... and create a workspace.

http://www.perforce.com/perforce/doc.current/manuals/intro/index.html before you go any further. Always start by reading the docs, you'll be a lot happier.
回答4:
You need to enter the local Workspace name into the dialog in Webstorm Options / Preferences to integrate it with Perforce.
In P4V, you can find this by looking at View > Workspace Tree, and then selecting the workspace you are trying to integrate.
Background: I'm setting up Perforce with Webstorm v2016.1 just now. I tried using the name of the workspace stream on the server at first, which kept giving me a "Client Unknown" error. This fixed the issue and allowed the connection to go through.
