Perforce : Getting user <username> doesn't exist after running "p4 sync" command from console

I tried running following command through console and got an error

Command : p4 sync //depot/somepath/ [Event tried with -u < username >]

Error : User < username > doesn't exists.

Same thing is working fine with perforce visual client.

I think you just need to do some p4 configurations such as:

 P4PORT
 P4USER
 P4PASSWD
 P4CLIENT

First, run the following in your terminal:

p4 info

Verify if the information match the same info that you have in the GUI version.

Then set the credentials for the followings (In my case I only had to set my user and password): 

p4 set P4PORT=server.example.com:1666
p4 set P4USER=username
p4 set P4PASSWD=password123
p4 set P4CLIENT=client-dev

Once you have all your entries set, just type:

p4 login

I got same issue and it was due to my windows login being in CAPS and p4 login in small caps.

By default p4 takes login of windows as user if P4USER is not set in the command shell your are using. If your case is same set the p4 login with correct case and you should see the password prompt.

On your command prompt check the output of

p4 info

If you see username not set to your desired value (the same user in P4V client), then do the following

export P4USER=<your username>
p4 login

Then run the p4 sync command
