    Hello,

    Since I upgraded from 5.4.4f1 to 5.5.1f1 I get the error "Password must be set before access can be granted".

    The password is set, and has always been valid in previous Unity versions, so I guess something is wrong there. Anyone else has this issue?

    Thanks,
    Alex

    Ok, I solved this myself, I had a typo in the username.

    As usual, perforce has very helpful error messages...

    Glad you resolved it your own.
    In this context would more error messages be helpful?
    We could log out the connection information when the connection fails eg
    server name + port
    username
    workspace name

    I don't think it would be sensible to plain text log the password

    Definitely not the password in plain text indeed :)

    I'd rather have more accurate error messages, as in an error message that says "unknown user name". Not sure if that's possible though.

    > Password must be set before access can be granted

    Is the error we get back from the Perforce server. There might be a security setting on the Perforce server to force a different username eg "unknown user" but also that might be considered a security risk.
