Hi,

Using kirkstone branch, I've been trying to follow the Perforce
documentation in
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/2.4/bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-fetching.html#perforce-fetcher-p4
and I've created the following recipe:

#######################################
DESCRIPTION = "Perforce fetch test"
LICENSE = "CLOSED"

SRCREV = "${AUTOREV}"
FETCHCMD_p4 = "/usr/local/bin/p4"
P4PASSWD = "mypassword#"
P4PORT = "ssl:myserver:1666"
P4USER = "myuser"
P4DEPOT = "path_to_my_depot"

SRC_URI = "p4://${P4USER}:${P4PASSWD}@${P4DEPOT}/..."

PV = "p4-${SRCPV}"
S = "${WORKDIR}/p4"
######################################

I get the following error because my password finishes with a #:

ERROR: Parsing halted due to errors, see error messages above

Summary: There were 2 ERROR messages, returning a non-zero exit code.

Note that in the Exception, the ValueError tries to parse my password,
without the # as the port number.

Thanks,
