Rob Petti created JENKINS-15981 Display more appropriate error on connection issues caused by SystemRoot not being set Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: perforce Created: 29/Nov/12 4:29 PM Description: If SystemRoot is not correctly set (either to C:\WINNT or C:\Windows) the p4 client can fail to connect to the perforce server. The error message currently thrown indicates a connection problem, rather than an environment problem, and is very misleading. Error thrown by the client is: Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT. TCP connect to 127.0.0.1:1666 failed. socket: 127.0.0.1:1666: WSAEPROVIDERFAILEDINIT Which is equally unhelpful. It should display something like: Error running perforce client executable. Is the SystemRoot environment variable and/or plugin option set correctly? Environment: Windows Project: Jenkins Priority: Minor Reporter: Rob Petti
