perforce action global options tab uses PWD for Root: even when it's not exported?
Hey,
I am using a perforce action that runs p4 client with Global options tab > Working folder: set to a value.
I also have PWD set as a project macro, and it isn't exported (the output of '%DOSCMD% set' doesn't show PWD is set).
However, the Root: of my p4 client is always being set to PWD, even though it's not exported.
I think perforce actions shouldn't use perforce-related macro values of PWD unless it is exported for external programs, or that explicitly setting a value in the perforce action should override the macro setting. Currently, at least for PWD, having it set in macros overrides the entry in the action.
I am working around this by setting a temp PWD macro before I use the perforce action, but this shouldn't be necessary.
Thanks again for a good product.
Best,
-e
oh yeah, I am using v5.7
