Dear All, 

When viewing code from a commit on TFS Web access from TFS 2015.3 and the file is long, the diff mode shows discrepancies and the following message is:

"Displayed content is truncated due to maximum viewable content limit."

Is this a expected behavior for TFS2015.3? 

Can this be changed by a setting?

Thank you

Hello-

I just upgraded from TFS 2013 to TFS 2017.  Very nice improvements!

I am trying to "Enable the new work item form" on the Collection Overview settings/control panel page.  I click that, then do the "Create new layout" button, then "Configure the opt-in model", change to "Enable opt-in for all users" and click Save.  I'm not getting the new work item form option to display- for either regular users or for users who are Collection Administrators.  If I go back to  the Control Panel Collection Overview page, it then shows"Enable the new work item form" as if I didn't do that.

A couple of notes: we're running Urban Turtle and so I've had to temporarily "turn off new navigation" because the Urban Turtle plug-in isn't showing the Urban Turtle menus (they state that they're going to be releasing a new plug-in soon.)  Oddly, once I did that, I am unable to "Turn on new navigation" back on!  This might be a part of the problem...?  The new navigation was in place until I disabled it for UT.

Also, not sure if it's important- I'm using a slightly modified Agile template for Work Items.

Thanks for any help!  Andrew

TFS2015 Update 2, On-premises, Git

One of  our repositories started giving erros to users when trying to clone.  Also noticed he buikds started t fail becuase the could not pull the code down.  I went to the web portal and when I go to the repository on concern (all others are working fine by the way) I get this error;

I am the admin for TFS.  I tried to access it several ways but no luck.  This doesn;t seem to be a permissinos thing, more of a problem with the repository.

I'm looking for how to fix or diagnose this probelm.

Hi Everyone,

I am facing some problem consuming TFS Restful API (Wiql) in JavaScript.

I am working on TFS 2015 Web Access Control, wherein I need to get some Workitems by querying database.

I am using below code of Work Item Query language , TFS Restful API in Javascript. But it is throwing 'Bad Request' error. Though, Other Restful API calls are working fine on my TFS server.

Error Message : "Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: q. Path '', line 0, position 0." 

 $(document).ready(function () {

                    $.ajax({
                        type: 'POST',
                        url: 'https://<server>/<collection>/_apis/wit/wiql?api-version=1.0',
                        contentType: 'application/json',
                        data: { query: "Select [System.Id] from WorkItems Where [System.WorkItemType] = 'Task'" },

                        success: function (data) {
                            alert('POSTED SUCCESSFULLY TO THE SERVER');
                        }, // Success Function
                        error: function (msg, url, line) {

                            alert(msg);
                            alert(url);
                            alert(line);
                        }


                    });

                });

Any Ideas what is wrong in this code?

Hi All,

Im using TFS Webaccess. I dont see export plan artifacts icon in the web portal.



Im seeing as below

Am I missing something or any configuration is required?

I have multiple plans and test cases under it. I dont see a reason why it should'nt display.

we are using  isual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015

Has anyone else had trouble running XAML builds pointed to TFS "15"? We have one build agent running without issue, but our 2nd build agent for BizTalk builds keeps running into the "The user name {0} is not a fully-qualified user name." error.

We've tried restarting the build agent server and re-entering the username/password for the service to no avail. Looking for suggestions.

Hi,

i added a nuget package to my project and i use it. now i want to do 'check in' to my code. (i use micorostAPICodePack package)

what is the  best way to do it? i'm using microsoft tfs 2013. 

Hi!

We have installed Package Management extension in our  on premises TFS 2017 server. On extension install page there was the extension's price - $4/user. On extension's settings page there is another prices table, starting from $10/month for 10 users and so on.  

We moved our TFS 2010 installation to another Server and upgraded to TFS 2017. So far everything worked fine but merging branches.
In Source Control Explorer we start the process with "Branching and Merching" --> "Merge.." --> choose "Selected changesets" and on clicking next, the Changesets should be listed. Here we geht the timeout message.
If I search for Changesets with the "Find Changesets" Dialog, the search performs pretty well and lists the results as expected.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Edit: As somewhere else suggested, i tried to merge Changesets with the command line and "tf merge" command - worked fine.

I'm using TFS 2015. Is there a way to modify the list of possible values of a custom field via an API?  I've looked through the REST API and I see I can retrieve information on a particular Work Item Field, but it doesn't look like I can set the list of possible values via this interface.  

Is there any way to do this?

We have two ways of querying the TFS data 

1 . WIQL query:  which uses the tables like WorkItems 

2 . TFS Datawarehouse query: which uses the tables like DimWorkItems and others

Which should be used when .Is there any adavatanges or disadvatages over one another?

Thanks

hi!

I have a problem with a Team Project on TFS 2017.   Specifically, it has no members in its Project Administrators group.   Further, when I attempt to add a member under any account with any level of permissions, TFS says "You do not have the required permissions to perform this action."    (Displayed on the security web page:

https://<server>/tfs/<collection>/<project>/_admin/_security?_a=members)

My account is in the BUILDIN/Administrators group of the machine, and it is a TFS Administration Console user.   It is a Project Collection Administrator, and has also been placed in all of the TFS groups using TfsSecurity.

None of these permissions allow me to put a user into the project administrators group of that project.   Can you tell me how to work around this issue?   I have an older copy of this collection running under TFS 2015 RTM, and on that server I am allowed to put a user into the project administrators group of that project and remove him with no issues.

Nothing else that I can detect has changed.   Only the TFS version (2015 RTM versus 2017)

Is there a way around this situation?   How can I get a project administrator into that project on TFS 2017 when it currently has no Project Administrator?

Hi !

I am really not sure if I am asking this in the right place. Any everything is kind of overwhelming me when I Google the subject.

I have a Visual Studio 2017 RC project. I would like to use the source control feature to maintain a backup of my source off-site.

I am getting confused with using GIT and the Team Viewer Tab.

I am looking for some basic instructions to create get a copy of my source backed up remotely.

Then I am looking for basic instructions for keeping this source up to date.

I also use MantisBT for feature requests and I do not know if the two can be integrated either.

I guess it is simple when you grasp the concept. But I am a bit lost with this.

Hi,

1)Would anyone provide guidance about how to build a web dashboard for multiple projects at one place

2) Lets say we have a feature to be developed in a project and we have multiple teams to do their own piece to get the feature implemented. How do we get the effective status of that feature? ( Eg : A feature is in Active Status and there are 5 user stories which need to be done by 5 teams independent of each other. One team has the story closed and other four active. Is there a way to extract the status ?Any pointers?)

Thank you in anticipation.

Hi,

I would like to use Git feature on Visual Studio. But, I have a question about folder structure. Whenever I push my project, it is always like this within my Git repo:

What I want is the inside that folder. Here is:

I want is that all my file above is at the top level, without creating a folder in my Git repo. Is there anyone can help me with that ?

Thank You

Hi,
We are planning to migrate TFS 2013 to TFS 2017(TFS15).
 Is Release Management Server features are available in TFS 2017? or Want to install Release management server separatly and configure to 2017? If release managment server is separate then what is cost of licensing and requirements?

In TFS 2013 release management server and client want to be installed in separate server then want to connect with TFS 2013.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

We've created 3 branches for DEV, TEST, and PROD and placed the same source code in each. The branch has the same name as the solution. However when we rename the branch (suffixing with -DEV -TEST -PROD), the build in VS-TFS2015 not only fails saying the folder doesn't exist, but we receive binding errors in Visual Studio when trying to open the project.

The only solution we've found is to hack the .sln file in notepad and rename the project and directory to match the branch name.

What is the suggested approach to promoting source code up through a tiered environment without hacking the .sln file?

Thanks,

Adam Turner

Try to look ahead so you're not forced to look behind.
