Multiple perforce updates during project rebuild

Description

« Hide

When I rebuild a two-module project with P4 integration enabled, I noticed that the "Updating Perforce" status label appears multiple times during the build – I counted at least six updates.

I have the build output directory set up to be ignored by the perforce integration.

I believe this behavior is new in 7656.

Nothing changed in this area in 7656.
Have you ignored the directory using the "Ignore" button in Changes view, or by setting VCS to None? The correct way to do this now is the latter.

It's possible I just never noticed it before.

I used the "Ignore" button in the changes view. I'm not sure what you mean by setting VCS to None?

I think I just figured out what you mean – add that directory to the VCS configuration and map it to none.

I added the classes directory to the VCS configuration and mapped it to None.

This seems to fix the problem – no more P4 updates during builds.

I would imagine I'm not the only person who will be confused by the difference between Ignoring directories in the Changes View and setting VCS to None in the VCS configuration.

Perhaps the "Ignore Files" setting in the Changes View should be called "Hide Files", since it doesn't cause the underlying VCS to ignore them.
