p4 Submit aborted Error - How to resolve

Question

A p4 check-in failed with the following error:

Submit aborted -- fix problems then use \'p4 submit -c XXXX\'.
Some file(s) could not be transferred from client.
         


        

Answer 1

Another reason: P4 considers ANSI-encoded file to be .

ANSI file cannot be generally treated as UTF-8 file (which P4 calls ) because not all byte sequences in UTF-8 encoding are valid and P4 produces the following error in such a case:

Translation of file content failed near line 384 file D:\P4
\etc\file.txt
Submit aborted -- fix problems then use 'p4 submit -c 125'.
Some file(s) could not be transferred from client.

In this case, checking line 384 revealed that it contained character ľ and the file was encoded in ANSI, but Perforce automatically and mistakenly marked it as (UTF-8).

Solution: perforce filetype and actual file content must be put in sync

• if application related to the file allows that, convert the file to UTF-8 and keep file type .
  Generally, this is better solution – you get the file ready for international and special characters.

• if file must me kept in ANSI, change file type to
