Is anyone else having an issue where if they set explicitly a working directory, the build ignores and using the default?
For example, I will set it to "MyWebsite/build" and then in the build log, it shows this: "Set workingFolder to default: E:\Builds\agent\tasks\Grunt\0.5.19"
We are using an on-premise build agent.

After upgrading TFS to version 2015 users that are on Visual Studio 2008 get the following error when opening it.
Team Foundation Error - Specified Method is not supported.
Also when you attempt to check in changed items into source control and you want to associate work items it just keeps sprinning saying requesting work item queries, it never populates with anything. I'm also unable to view builds in the Team explorer using 2008 connected to tfs2015. Also in Visual Studio if I click on Build -> Queue new build from the menu I get the error, Team Foundation Error, Specified method is not supported.
Thanks,
Hi,
I'm a single web developer, and work on sites locally on my own computer.
Today, I came into work and when I opened up (in Visual Studio 2015 Community) and one of my projects, I see a bunch of "blue padlock" icons next to my files.
When I hover over them, it says "checked in".
Not sure what's happening, but some Googling says "Team Foundation Server". Not sure what that is (and don't need to know). I just want to nuke it.
I found a forum post that said "drain the nodes" or something, but I just want to make sure it's gone, and preferably nuke from space to make sure that however it showed up in the first place - doesn't happen again.
If anyone has a simple suggestion on getting rid of it, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
David
Hi. I posted this question under Installation, but the moderators suggested I post here instead.
We have Microsoft Test Manager 2015 installed (and we have a Visual Studio Enterprise 2015). We are able to enter and run testcases successfully in Test Manager itself, but when we try to access the TEST link in our TFS website, we get the following error below. This happens for users that have ADVANCED permissions in TFS. (We tried enabling Browse in the _scripts directory, but are still seeing the problem.) Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
TF400898: An Internal Error Occurred.Looking for a little direction on how to start trouble shooting this.. When a user tries to move branched code from one project to another it will hang that collection's database. I can see this via the SQL activity monitor (identifiing the blocking session, the app tier making the call, & then I can reboot that box to clear the users connection - trying to end the session/spid has not worked).
This has been very reliable to duplicate during the day. If I'm patient & try the same move early Saturday/Sunday when there's no usage the task will complete.
We are using TFS2013 12.0.3.1101.0 (tfs2013.update4).. 3 app tier Azure VM's, 2 Azure VM's datatier configured for high availability database (each configured as xeon 2.4Ghz core 56GB ram)
When the system hangs it affects everyone in that collection, other collections are fine. The branched source code consists of about 5.5GB of code / 170K files / 26K folders.
This mainly happens when the move option in source code is used from within visual studios, but it can also happen when someone is trying to delete a branch that was created (get latest/ right click delete/ check-in).
Any ideas on specific SQL db settings to avoid this, or is our source branch too large, other?
thanks

b. someone else on the team assigned them a work item.
c. that this registry key is set to 0
d. Don't see any errors in the table
[Tfs_Configuration].[dbo].[tbl_JobHistory]
Love the (Customized) Board Columns and Board Lane fields and how they can now be added as columns in queries and in backlogs, however they're proving to be unreliable. We cannot use them unless they can be trusted. I'm combining them into one post here because they seem similar enough (they are both controlled on a team's backlog board view and they both are not reliable when viewed outside of the backlog board view.
I'm wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this or if others are running into the same issues / have a solution.

Hello,
i want to write a simple tool, which helps me starting builds quickly.
For that i will create a xaml build definition with some parameters.
And now i want to start that xaml build via REST API.
My Questions:
- how can i define variables in a xaml build ?
- how can i start a build with this buid definition using the variables over the rest api? Any Examplesm or Code snippets?
I have downloaded TFS 2015 update 3 from:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/tfs2015-update3-vs#build
And would like to see the details of this fix:
"Cannot queue a Team Foundation Version Control build from a source label."
Where is the issue tracker to see all the details ?
Thanks
I've developed a custom extension for TFS 2015 Update 3. It's a custom build and deploy task if it matters.
I've used the web interface to upload the extension, and that appears to work fine. However, when I use the Update function from the dropdown to the left of the icon in the extensions list, it doesn't seem to actually update. The version number listed In the extensions changes, but the input fields, and script that gets executed does not seem to actually update.
I have to remove the extension, then re-upload it to get the changes.
Is there any specific trick to get the update function to actually update the extension? I've bumped the version number on both the vss-extension.json and the task.json, but that doesn't seem to do anything. In addition, when I update the extension and click "Install" it says it's already installed.
I'm referring to this function:
I have a problem with TFS. We have a corporate policy of only use secure bindings for our servers. However, TFS seems to insist on using non-https for things like images in some situations, and since there is no http binding, the images do not show up.
In particular, the build task icons show as broken images, and when I look at the html source, it is showing a that it's trying to access http://server:8080/tfs/... even though the connection is currently an https connection, and no http binding exists.
I've tried changing the ServerUrl setting, as well as the notification url. These have no effect. Most other background images are css based in TFS, and so they just use relative addressing of the current connection, but the build tasks seem to use absolute urls, and forces them to use http.
Any suggestions on how to force these URL's to use the https connection?

I can no longer create new test suites in VSTS. I get the following message
The field 'State' contains the value 'In Planning' that is not in the list of supported values
We are using a child process that we created from the Scrum process. The changes to our child process are in the Bugs and PBI work types. No changes have been made to the test suite work type.
Creating a test suite in a test project that uses the default Scrum process works as expected.
Has anyone encountered this? It looks like it started after the last June 17 update.
So after the TFS upgrade from 2010 to TFS 2013, my web application which used the Extension libraries inVisual Studio 2013:
The application was using the Version 11 libraries before (when it did work with TFS 2010), then we did the upgrade to TFS 2013, and the web app was still using the Version 11 libraries, but it did not work, so I changed thelibraries to Version 12 thinking that was the issue, but it still does not work.
The issue comes down to the Workspace and possibly the checking out of the files, but is more related to the Workspace I think.
Here is the summary of the code I am using:
Client Application
TFS.WorkspaceDirectory = "c:\temp\MirthBackupWorkspace\Shared"; TFS.WorkspaceName = "MirthBackupWorkspace_Shared"; //instantiate a new TFS Project Collection object TFS.MirthTeamProjectCollection = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri("http://TFSSERVER:8080/tfs/integration")); // Get a reference to Version Control. (this will vary for your specific project) TFS.VersionControlServer = MirthTeamProjectCollection.GetService<VersionControlServer>(); //creates a new TFS workspace. workSpace = CreateWorkspace(TFS.WorkspaceName, TFS.WorkspaceDirectory); string workspaceDir = TFS.WorkspaceDirectory; string tfsWorkspaceFolderDir = workspaceDir + "\\TestDirectory"; //CHECKOUT existing TFS files //verify if we have the latest and get the latest version before checking out count = workSpace.PendEdit(new string[] { tfsWorkspaceFolderDir }, RecursionType.Full, null, LockLevel.CheckOut, false, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Common.PendChangesOptions.GetLatestOnCheckout, null); if (count == 0) { TFS.Status = eStatus.Error.ToString(); } else { TFS.Status = eStatus.Success.ToString(); }
public static Workspace CreateWorkspace(string workspaceName, string workspaceDir)
{
Workspace workspace = null;
try
{
//this will fail if there is already a workspace that exists with that name
workspace = TFS.VersionControlServer.CreateWorkspace(workspaceName, TFS.VersionControlServer.AuthorizedUser);
//map the workspace to a local directory
workspace.Map(State.ConfigurationState.TFS.Project, workspaceDir);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
//on fail, get the current workspace
workspace = TFS.VersionControlServer.GetWorkspace(workspaceName, TFS.VersionControlServer.AuthorizedUser);
}
finally
{
//get the lastest files from TFS
workspace.Get();
}
return workspace;
}
So the issue I am having, is that workSpace.PendEdit(....) is returning a zero (0) count, when there clearly are items in that workspace that can be checked out.
Does anyone have any idea why this may be occurring?
Any suggestions would be helpful?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks. sc

We're encountering an issue with alerts/emails for Code Reviews.
For at least one person, but maybe not all, when they initiate a code review and the reviewer responds, they do not receive an email alert saying that the reviewer has responded and therefore don't know that they have.
Here's what we've confirmed/checked:
The person in question receives other email alerts from TFS correctly such as build emails, release emails, emails for assigned work items and so forth. So their profile and associated email address are not an issue. And since the server sends email successfully it is not an issue with the email server settings and so forth.
There is a team alert in the team project for "A code review I am working on changes". It's the default you get when you add an alert and select that choice with an additional filter of team project = [current]
Other code review alerts/emails are generated. It is just the ones related to a "Code Review Response" that appear to not be sent.
This TFS server was upgraded in place from TFS 2013 (and before that TFS 2012, 2010 and so forth).
I'm at a loss as to what else to check that would explain this issue.
We have a query that is exectued from Visual Studio that shows a list of all Test cases and their associated Product backlog items. For every PBI there is an associated test case and many PBI's have the SAME associated test case. Those test cases only show up to be linked to ONE test case in Excel, not every one that it's linked to.
Why are the results different in Excel and Visual Studio?
The only workaround we have is to copy and paste the results from Visual Studio.
