In my case the ~/.p4enviro config file was using an outdated value for the P4CLIENT. I updated the value to the correct name of my current workspace and it fixed the problem.

I had the same problem. Using 

set P4CLIENT=my_workspace_name

in the terminal and then using p4 commnd has worked for me.

Set environmental variable P4CLIENT to your workspace name. Your workspace name is stored in p4 visual client under Connection->Edit Current Workspace

You need to create the client by running p4 client on the command line or using P4V.
