Unable to extract client root from Perforce
Symptoms
Bamboo shows the error below when running a plan that checks out from a Perforce repository:
com.atlassian.bamboo.repository.RepositoryException: Unable to extract
client root from Perforce, therefore could not evaluate where the source
will be checked out to.

Caused by: com.tek42.perforce.PerforceException: The client
'bamboo_android' was not found in the list of clients
retrieved from the Perforce server using the 'clients' command
at com.atlassian.bamboo.repository.perforce.PerforceManager.ensureClientIsValid(PerforceManager.java:248)
... 12 moreCause
The common causes are:
- The client root does not exist on the server or agent box.
- Bamboo cannot create this directory automatically.
- Perforce executable is missing on the Bamboo server and/or the agent machine.
- Bamboo is running as a service with an account that is not a local admin as recommended.
Resolution
- Ensure that the client root exists on the Bamboo server (or agent) machine. If necessary, create the directory locally for the Perforce client.
- If the build is running on a Windows remote agent that runs as a service, make sure to use a local admin account to run the service: Running Bamboo as the local user.
- Check if Perforce exists as a capability on both Bamboo server and agent machines with a correct path.
