Temp files messing up version control functions

kwenksforthebread

Hello!

So I'm using perforce atm just to keep a local repo and I've noticed that it doesn't always pick up changes because godot keeps a temp version of each script file. Standard saving just updates the temp file, but I do have a work around where I just Save as, but I have to do that manually for every file I've edited and I'm not sure I can keep this up when my codebase grows. It also causes errors in editor if there's an added var in a temp file but not in the original, so I have to force save in this case as well.

Any insight into what this might be would be much appreciated (:

Thanks!

Strange. I haven't had any issues with Git.

I haven't noticed that. What do the filenames look like?

I also haven't had any issues with temporary files on Windows or Linux with Git. Maybe it's something with Perforce that is causing the issue? This thread mentions Perforce having issues with files being locked, so maybe something like that is causing the issue?

You can disable safe file saving in the Editor Settings (search for safe). However, this will cause you to lose work if Godot crashes while saving a script.
