Error Message
Symptom
FishEye and Crucible identify a text file as binary in Perforce repository. (Crucible and FishEye share same data directory)
Diagnostics/Test
Confirm with customer that the file is not binary.
Root Cause
FishEye can communicate with any Perforce server, but it needs to use the p4 command-line client to do so. This is a bug with P4 client older than P4 client (2006.1).
Solution
Upgrade to a recent P4 client (2006.1 onwards) and set filelog limit to 100, 50 or even 10 (by doing so, will impact performance significantly) in FishEye administration page.
