Have Perforce integrated, do a file comparison on head revision and some specific changelist, and save your workspace ...
It appears that when this happens the actual files are retrieved to a "temp" cache which, at some unknown time, goes away and reloading of your workspace results in 'File not Found' errors and refreshing the tab does not help.
Typically the files will be listed as something like:
/.../perforce_workspace_name.myperforceserver_1666/depot/foo#head.c
/.../perforce_workspace_name.myperforceserver_1666/depot/foo#12345.c
The errors will be something like this when a refresh is attempted:
File Not Found (/private/tmp/myusername(p4v)/perforce_workspace_name_1666/depot/foo#head.c)
File Not Found (/private/temp/myusername(p4v)/perforce_workspace_name_1666/depot/foo$12345.c)
THINGS TO NOTE:
- I'm using a mac -- not sure if this is a mac-specific problem, perforce problem or general refresh problem
- This does NOT happen immediately .. i'm guessing it happens when some event causes the cache to clear .. it often is the next day before i am unable to see the saved workspace diffs.
