      Hi there,

      If you configure the Perforce plugin to "Always Force Sync" and "Don't update server database on sync (-p)" then this will fail with:

      [NvTriStrip] $ "C:
      Program Files\\Perforce
      p4.exe" -s sync -f -p //Jenkins_NvTriStrip-Build2/...@167119

      Is it possible to update the Perforce plugin to at least warn or error if both these options are enabled?

      Regards,
      Tom.
