'p4 where' find right location of a targe file, but p4 edit says 'file(s) not on client'

p4 where target works well.

It tells me right location of a target file.

But p4 edit target' says 'target - file(s) not on client.

The error "file(s) not on client" suggests that the file has not been synced to your client. Try:

p4 sync manager.h
p4 edit manager.h

Note that the file might fail to sync for reasons that have nothing to do with your client view -- if the sync command fails it should give you an error message that tells you why this file can't be synced to your client.

For example, if p4 sync says no such file(s) it means that the file is either nonexistent or deleted. (You can run p4 files manager.h to see if the file exists and what its head action is.)

I too was facing this issue. p4 set displayed everything right. Even p4 where was fine.

However p4 where <target-file> gave out the complete mapping for the target file. Which helped in understanding that //depot/my-repo... was missing a slash in my view.

So I changed it to //depot/my-repo/... and did a p4 sync. All files got refreshed.

Now p4 edit works without any issue.

Be sure the File location is mapped in your connection settings.

Use the full depot path. //depot/project/src/manager.h

p4 edit //depot/project/src/manager.h

or p4 edit "//depot/project/src/manager.h"
