Can't connect to Plastic scm version control

anonymous_user_d23620bf · April 10, 2020, 12:29pm

If i try to connect to my plastic cloud server with all of the corret credentials I get the following error: “Failed to launch Plastic SCM command line tool. You need to install it or set the correct path to it first.”

in the command line i’m able to launch the Plastiuc scm command line tool. I also don’t know where it’s installed or where i should install it to if that’s the reason it doesn’t work

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

I am , author of the Plastic SCM plugin.

You didn’t said anything about your platform; are you on Windows?
If so, your install path should be C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\client\cm.exe

Mac is not supported at the moment I am afraid.

Cheers,

Hey ! Your Answer helped a lot. I thought that field was for the server adress, since it was like that coming from Perforce. But yeah that makes sense now. thanks for your help

I also have this issue, and I note that running the “version” command in powershell directly cm shell --encoding=UTF-8 version also hangs forever.

cm shell by itself also does the same thing, it just sits there, forever.

Seems stuck on this line? No idea.

cm version 11.0.16.8564, windows.
