Bamboo with Perforce - Need help with the first build
Asked by Divya Jain:

Hi,

I am new to Bamboo, installed a trial version ([Atlassian Bamboo](http://www.atlassian.com/software/bamboo/) version 6.10.4 ) on windows and did an Express Installation and trying to set up a CI set up using Bamboo and Perforce.

My code is at perforce at a location //depot/abc/xyz

I created server capability, set up the Perforce repository.

Depot view - //client_name/depot/abc/xyz...

When I am started the first build, the error is like -

```

```

Sorry, this may be stupid, but being a newbie, I could not understand, from where it is picking such a path -

c:\\Users\\\<user\>\\Bamboo\\bin\\\<client_name\>/depot/abc/xyz/...

Its an incorrect combination of where my bamboo is and the depot view I provided for repository.

and the reason for this error.

Please help me with this.

Depot view to - //client_name/abc/xyz... (Removed /Depot)

and checked - Let Bamboo manage your workspace
