P4VFS and Windows System for Linux Compatibility
ldwSpirent opened this issue · comments
I have used P4VFS on Windows to sync to the latest version of my project (p4vfs sync ...#head). However, I'm using VSCode running under WSL2/Ubuntu-20.04 to edit files. When I try to access the files using VSCode or Ubuntu command line, then I only see zeros in the file:
If I use a native Windows program to read the file, then I can see the actual contents of the file in WSL...
$ od -tx1 SourceCode.cc
0000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

$ od -tx1 SourceCode.cc

Is it possible to make this run seamlessly under WSL? (i.e. without the need to use a windows native program to trigger P4VFS)?
Note: (I had previously opened this up under Discussion, but think it is more suited to an issue)
