Publishing of Test Results into TFS 2012 hangs the build

$
0

Hi All,

I have a problem with running unit tests on the TFS2012 Team build.

Our project has ~35 000 NUnit tests running during the Team Build. Now they run using the NUnit command prompt and as result we does not see the test results on the Build Summary. The solution is to use the NUnit Test Adapter to run the tests. However during the build run it hangs on the 7-8 thousands test. However if you run tests without publishing in VS or in using the vstest.console, they successfully passed. 

I reproduced the same problem running tests from the vstest.console using the TFS publisher.

I created a small MS Test project with a lot of test runs and faced the same problem when the vstest.console is used. However, this problem is not reproducing when run those tests using MSTest.exe (with publish). 

Could anyone help me with this problem?


Drift Report xml file not being created when using command line sqlpackage.exe

$

I am trying to generate a Drift Report using sqlpackage.exe on the command line.

I open command prompt as Administrator. SQL Server 2012. Visual Studio 2013 Update 4, Team Foundation Server 2013 RTM. Windows 7, with latest patches.

I type in the below command, but the drift report xml file never gets created. The only feedback I get in the command window is "Generating drift report for database "Kiosk" on server 10.241.xxx.xxx.

After that message is displayed, it returns me to the command prompt and the xml file is nowhere to be found. I have looked at the Event viewer for any kind of error letting me know what is going on, but there is nothing. Below is the command:

sqlpackage /Action:DriftReport /TargetConnectionString:"Data Source=10.241.xxx.xxx;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False;Initial Catalog=Kiosk" /OutputPath:"c:\Kiosk_Deploy_DriftReport.xml"

The path already mapped in workspace, VS client not recognizing workspace mapping.

$
0

I get this message from time to time.  I will go into my Source Control Explorer to 'Get' the latest version of a project I haven't worked on in a while.  There it shows that the 'Local Path' is 'Not Mapped' even though I know I have mapped it previously.  'No big deal though I will just remap it'.  But when I go to map it, it errors saying a mapping already exists.

So deleting the workspace entry from the Edit Workspace dialog and remapping the location indeed resolves the problem.  But what is frustrating to me is why this is a problem in the first place.  If the location is already mapped (Which it is) then why doesn't the VS client recognize it. 

When I go to remove the mapping, everything looks correct, just the way I want it.  So why do I have to remap at all.  Am I the only one that runs into this issue repeatedly where my mapping exists, but VS doesn't recognize it? 

How can I search code in Team Foundation server 2013 for a particular string

How do I search all the code in TFS 2013 for a particular string.

I am using Visual studio 2012 with the Source Control Explorer.

We think that a piece of code has a setting embedded in it, which we want to change, but dont know which solution it is in.

Pivottable report on reactivated bugs or through visual studio query

$

0

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to report on the number of bug activations and the date they were reactivated.  I was trying to do this through a pivottable report but I only seem to be able to account for previous state of 'resolved' and current state of 'active' it does not pick up bugs which have now been retested and closed after having previously been reactivated.

If its not possible to do this as a pivottable is there another to report on it?

Thanks.

When I try and create a shared steps based on an existing test within the TFS Web Access product, if the select lines compass Lines 10 and 11 the Shared Steps icon will disable.

An example, created a test with 15 lines.

You can select line 1 - 10 and create shared steps

You can select 11 - 15 and create a shared steps

If you select 9 - 11 the created shared steps button disables

Does anyone else experience this behaviour on their system?

[2015RC] Issue to configure Sharepoint

$

Hello,

I finished install a full tfs server 2015RC.

I have an issue with default collection sharepoint site.

I created a domain with :

  • Exchange Server 2013
  • TFS Server 2015 RC
  • SQL Server 2012 SP1
  • Build Server 2015 RC
  • Sharepoint 2013
  • Dynamic CRM Server 2013

In TFS Administration console, default collection, Sharepoint site, in the current site location, I have a Wrong way sign with a Not Configured message.



I tried to follow those instruction,

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd631899.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

As you can see in step 4, in TFS 2013, they suggest to use the advanced link but this link is not present in the TFS 2015RC install assistant.

Could you help me to setup my sharepoint server to work with my tfs and tell me what to do with the DefaultCollection current site location ?

Thanks,

Laurent

For some of our Feature work items, the header is not appearing in TFS Web Access (see attached screenshot).  The header shows OK in Team Explorer.  I don't see any script errors.

Occurs in both IE and Chrome.  We have cleared cache and is not machine specific - happens for all users who view these work items. 

We are on TFS 2013 Update 4

Change SQL server version during TFS upgrade

Hi all,

Today we are using TFS 2012.4 with SQL 2008 R2 SP1.

We want to upgrade the TFS to a new hardware.

Can we safely install a new SQL 2014 Standard version to be used for the our new TFS 2013.4 product?

Thanks

TFS2013 Cannot add user defined field to quick add panel Backlog Items

$
0
0

I basically wanted to add a new requirement WIT to my on premise TFS2013, make that WIT show up in the Backlog Items and on the Board and finally, add a user defined field from the new WIT to the Quick Add panel for Backlog Items. The problem I have encountered occured in that last step.

I have added the new WIT to my on premise TFS2013 by:
- exporting the default Product Backlog WIT definition (using the TFS Power Tools integrated with VS2013);
- renaming the WIT in the exported XML file to "BAC";
- adding the following FIELD definition:

<FIELDname="BAC Type"refname="DGC.BacType"type="String"reportable="dimension"><HELPTEXT>Select the appropriate Type</HELPTEXT><ALLOWEDVALUESexpanditems="true"><GLOBALLISTname="Component Type"/></ALLOWEDVALUES></FIELD>

- adding a definition for the DGC.BacType field to the FORM section:

<ControlFieldName="DGC.BacType"Type="FieldControl"Label="BAC Type"LabelPosition="Left"/>

- adding the values for the "Component Type" to the Global List (exported the GL, added the new list with values and imported the GL again);
- importing the new WIT into TFS.

So far everything works as expected. I can make a new WI based on the new WIT and get the list of values presented for the "BAC Type" field.

Then I added my new WIT "BAC" to the Backlog Items en Board, by:
- exporting the categories.xml from TFS;
- adding my new WIT "BAC" to the RequirementsCategory:

<CATEGORYrefname="Microsoft.RequirementCategory"name="Requirement Category"><DEFAULTWORKITEMTYPEname="Product Backlog Item"/><WORKITEMTYPEname="Bug"/><WORKITEMTYPEname="BAC"/></CATEGORY>

- importing the modified categories.xml back into TFS again.

Again all worked as expected. I can now add new instances of the "BAC" WIT through the TFS web access screen, using the Quick Add panel and see them displayed on the Board where I can add Work Items to implement the requirement (basically identical behaviour as with the standard Product Backlog Item WIT).

Then I wanted to add the "BAC Type" field to the Quick Add panel for Backlog Items, so that when you create a new instance of the "BAC" WIT, you can immediately select the correct type.

Based on the Microsoft MSDN documentation I have:
- exported the procesconfiguration.xml from TFS;
- added the DGC.BacType reference to the AddPanel section:

<RequirementBacklogcategory="Microsoft.RequirementCategory"parent="Microsoft.FeatureCategory"pluralName="Backlog items"singularName="Backlog item"><AddPanel><Fields><Fieldrefname="System.Title"/><Fieldrefname="DGC.BacType"/></Fields></AddPanel>

But when I try to import the modified procesconfiguration.xml file, I get the error: object reference not set to an instance of an object

I have already investigated the following:
- adding the DGC.BacType reference to other AddPanel sections in the procesconfiguration.xml file: on import it generates errors that the FIELD definition does not exist in any available WIT. I therefor think the reference is in the right section, but something else goes wrong;
- replace the DGC.BacType reference in the AddPanel section with the System.State reference. Then the State field is displayed in the Quick Add panel as expected.

All the above makes me ask:
- did I miss anything in the configuration?
- can user defined fields not be used in the Quick Add panel for Backlog Items (the MSDN documentation on the topic states that they can however).

TFS Builds - Speed up get from source control

$

Hi,

I'm still using MSBUILD in TFS 2013 builds and I'm having a performance issue that I don't understand.

For example, a 4 minutes build.

2 minutes to get the code, 2 minutes to compile.

I'm getting all the team project from the TFS, but only the differences. I don't destroy the workspace between builds, and if I go to the Visual Studio and do a Get Latest it lasts +/- 5 seconds. On Build, it stucks 2 minutes on "Getting Sources".

I have all this properties set:

<SkipClean>true</SkipClean>
<SkipInitializeWorkspace>true</SkipInitializeWorkspace>
<ForceGet>false</ForceGet>

I even tried IncrementalBuild and Incremental Get = true.

Any tips?

Thanks




VS 2013 (latest update) compatible with TFS 2015?

$

We are tasked with installing TFS. I'm leaning towards TFS 2015 once it is released later this month. There is good sized development team already running VS 2013 (latest update). If we install TFS 2015 can our visual studio 2013 clients still connect and use the project for basic source code tasks? This is a net new TFS installation and code will be added.
