TFS2013 Custom Alert Email Issue

$
0
0

Hi Folks,

I need to create an alert for when a new work item is created on a team project.  I need the alert to work at the team level, however, instead of sending emails to the entire team I need them to go to just two members.

When I try and create an alert and set the Subscriber to 'xyz Team', the 'Send To' list becomes disabled and cannot be modified. The default action is to send an email to the entire team. 

Does someone have a work-around where I can set this up so that it only sends notifications to a limited group of people.  It is not possible to request people in the team to subscribe (as often they don't).

Regards

Andy

Step 8: The Assigned To name is name getting displayed unless it is reloaded

Kindly confirm if this is a bug

 

Modify the TFS 2013 Web access Home screen to increase the area of Pinned Items

Hi All,

We have a unique requirement to modify the TFS 2013 Web access Home screen to increase the area of Pinned Items, as of now it is coming as 4*X tile row column but we might need that to see it as 8*X tile. Is it possible to change the home page and modify the way it looks now or customize the home screen?

Please find below screenshot link for your reference.

Adding files and folders to TFS

$
0
0

I have created some folders and files from command prompt tool(extjs). Then i have opened Visual studio 2013, click "view all files" and include all folders and files into project.
The problem is that when i check in the project to source control, the files and folders are not there.

CMD creates too many files and folders that I would add each one manually to my project - this way folder is visible in TFS.

So, how can I add folders and files created outside visual studio to my TFS project?

TFS Background Job Agent is failing to start

Earlier this month I applied TFS 2013 Update 4. We were previously running 2013 Update 3. We were humming along and then the following week I applied DNS friendly names to our TFS environment. Everything seemed to be fine until I came in the office to discover that the TFS Background Job Agent was stopped.

I have a test and dev TFS environment with update 4 and DNS friendly names and none of the machines are exhibiting this behavior. Each time I try to restart the service, I get the following events as a result.

Cannot access tfs repository

Hello

I have an MSDN account and regularly work with TFS.

Recently, I was given access to a TFS repository from another company I am consulting with. I was asked to set up another Live ID for accessing this TFS (one with the customer domain). The admin says my email address is authorized to access the repository but once I log in, I am getting a 403 error.

How do I resolve that ?

Thanks

Sam

Do we have REST API’s to deal with TFS WorkItem like bug and testcases? Or do we have API’s for “Team Explorer Everywhere”.

Hi,

I have written a code to update testcases execution results and to log defects in MTM.

1. Is it possible that I can run this code on Mac OS?

2. Do we have WorkItem related API’s for “Team Explorer Everywhere”, using which I can write a code to update testcases execution result and to log defects in MTM.

Thanks,

Two entries found in TFS DB for one user, how do I know which one to remvoe?

$
0
0

We had issue with an account that TFS reported to there are multiple users with the same display name. I searched the database and found two entries with the same 'displayname'.

First weird thing is that the account names are only different in some letters with or without capital (exactly "SIvakhno" and "sivakhno"), I thought TFS (and Microsoft) is not capital sensitive, right? Why does it consider the two accounts are different?

My next question is, if I want to remove one to solve the 'multiple user' issue, which entry should I remove from the database? They have different 'Sid', 'Id', 'AccountName' (as above), 'UniqueUserId' (1 and 0, respectively), 'LastSync', 'SequenceId', all the other fileds are the same in the table.

Thanks

tfpt manual or user's guide

Is the TFPT documentation as terrible as it seems to be? it took me forever to figure out that TFPT isn't working properly unless run from the mapped workspace. The fact that "TFPT getcs" creates files under the workspace folder isn't well documented.


Anyone have pointers to good docs? Is Microsoft hiding the details intentionally?

Consuming Visual studio extension SDKs in a remote build (CI).

Hi All,

 

I had already posted the question in MSBuild forrum but was suggested to post it again here

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/84d6daf2-213c-41c1-a004-9591901bd8f1/consuming-visual-studio-extension-sdks-in-a-remote-build-ci?forum=msbuild#84d6daf2-213c-41c1-a004-9591901bd8f1

I am new to .NET and developing an universal Windows application.

 

I am using Visual Studio extension for SQLite for WinRT and Windows Phone.

 

http://www.sqlite.org/2015/sqlite-wp81-winrt-3080801.vsix

http://www.sqlite.org/2015/sqlite-winrt81-3080801.vsix

 

I can perfectly install the extensions and work with locally.

 

My question is about the remotely building (continuous integration) of my application through msbuild in TFS.

Does the build machines need to have the same version of SQLite SDKs installed manually in order to resolve the dependency ?

 

There can be multiple project in my TFS collection which can refer to separate version of VSIX files . Both versions can not co exist together. What happens then ?

 

 

Can I somehow upload the vsix file to our package management software (Nexus) and refer from there.

We have been building other dependencies as Nuget packages from Nexus.

There might be number of packages required for different architecture and other component's packages.

 

Any help will be hugely appreciated.

 

 

Thanks and Best Regards,

Saurav


Bug Repro Steps links, should a user with a Visual Studio Test Pro w/MSDN be able to see the screen grab links?

$

We have Defect fixers  who only have access to the bugs due to using Visual Studio Test
Pro w/MSDN licenses. Test cases are executed via MTM and users are attaching screen grabs to the test case steps. When a Bug is raised the steps to reproduce is pre populated into the repro steps field along with linked screen grabs from test execution.

When the defect fixer attempts to view the screen grab via the link we get the message TF400409: You do not have licensing rights to access this feature: Test case management.

I know testers should attach the image as a separate attachment in the Bug attachment area which the Visual Studio Test Pro w/MSDN license allows you to view. I am just surprised  that the  link in the repro steps bug field is not support for user who has access to the bug without a test management supporting license.

the URL's have the TestManagement in them but  the users are launching them from the bug

I take it we can not make any changes  that  will allow the linked screen grab in the repro steps of the bug  to be visible to a user with a Test Pro License ?

 

    

TFS 2013.3 - Test Plans to Test Suites - No links created

Hi,

I am using TFS 2013.3 which integrated Test Plans and Test Suites as work items.

When we create test plans in MTM or in the WEB based platform and generate Test Suites under it, no links are created between the their work items.

Is this by design? If so what is the logic behind this?

If not, what are we doing wrong?

Thanks,

Issues with TFS-Warehouse rebuild on 2013.4 (after upgrade from RTM)

$

Hi!

we have just updated our TFS server and all its buildservers, testcontrollers and agents from 2013 RTM directly to version 2013 Update 4. Everything was fine except our reporting is not working any longer. We found many posts regarding 2013.2 and its workaround of just deleting the warehouse databases and rebuilding them from scratch by clicking the "Rebuild"-button in TFSMgmt. Apparently that did not help. The exact Exception message from the TfsJobAgent log file is as follows:

TfsJobAgent.exe Error: 0 : [Error, PID 5620, TID 5164, 2015/02/23 09:17:03.573, 171141 ms, General] TF53010: The following error has occurred in a Team Foundation component or extension:

We investigated the log file in more detail and found out that the log messages originating from the same thread (according to the "TID"-value above) are those:

TfsJobAgent.exe Information: 0 : [Info, PID 5620, TID 5164, 2015/02/23 09:17:03.526, 171094 ms, General] OurCollectionArchive: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Adapter.VersionControlWarehouseAdapter: Checking schema lock queue

And that's it. There are no other log entries from the same thread previous to these.

Additional Information:

- We have two collections attached: "OurCollection" and "OurCollectionArchive"
- Our process template / workitem types have been customized (this was no problem with reporting in RTM)
- SQL-Server runs on a different host than the application-tier

Can anyone help please?

Somehow the Creator Owner of queries has lost delete permissions of their own queries in our central work project and I am trying to restore it. I have tried the below command line:

tfssecurity /a+ WorkItemQueryFolders [Shared Queries GUID] DELETE "Creator Owner" ALLOW /collection:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/collection

This returns:

The target Team Foundation Server is http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/collection.
Resolving identity "Creator Owner"...
  [G] CREATOR OWNER
Adding the access control entry...
Verifying...

Access Control List on object [Shared Queries GUID]:

Done.

Not sure what I am doing wrong but the ACL should at least return the permissions I just set.

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Hi,

we have TFS 12.0.31101.0 installed. Is it a way to add tags for several test cases at once?

when selecting several test and using Edit Test Cases option - there is not Tags in field list:

and if I'm trying to type "Tags" manually in Filed textbox - the OK button remains disabled.

Is it a simple way to add same tag to all test cases in test suite?

thanks a lot
