Re: Perforce sync fails for symlinks Hi Rohit Goel. This is usually caused because you have not given the Jenkins agent OS user the correct policy to create symlinks. Note even Administraror does not get this by default.    Also so if you ran 1.10.2 or 1.10.1 you may need to manually clear the workspace first.    Note - I am not in front of a computer for the next few weeks so I apologise for a delay in responding.

Re: Perforce sync fails for symlinks

I get the same error, running on Jenkins Server (Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS), it didn't get as far as starting any build slaves. But the build slave is Linux as well. This is a multi-branch pipeline job using Helix Swarm as build source. Jenkins version: Jenkins ver. 2.177 P4 plugin version: 1.10.1

Re: Perforce sync fails for symlinks

I upgraded plugin to 1.10.3, and it seems to work better. Haven't had any issues so far...
