Creating Build and Release Definitions for Web Sites not Web Applications

$
0
0

Is this possible?

We currently have build definitions and release definitions setup and working for Web Applications.  However we have a lot of older web site type projects and will not work with the current build and release definitions that we already have setup.

Is there a way for us to get the web site projects to work with the build and release definitions in TFS?

Thanks

I found following two API which return the field information at collection or project level

API 1:

https://<accountname>.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/_apis/wit/fields?api-version=1.0

 [List the collection level all fields information (included field name, reference Name, type, read Only, supported Operation]

API 2:

https://<accoutname>.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/<project name>/_apis/wit/workItemTypes/Bug?api-version=1.0

[List the field information for the given project and work item type (included the field always Required, name, reference name, URL)]

I want to know is there any REST API available which list the possible allowed values for the given field,None of above API response included the allowed values (look up values) for the field such as priority, severity etc.

Kindly let me know whether allowed values Rest API available or not. if yes, provide the information about such API.

Thanks in advance.

What does " was updated" mean?

In the German version of

Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server

Version 15.105.25910.0

on the "Links" tab of a bug it says, "30.11.2016 wurde aktualisiert", which translates to "11/30/2016 was updated." What does it mean to update a date? And, how can that given date, a constant value, ever be updated?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Following documentation from here: 

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/integrate/api/wit/work-items

AND 

the object assembly here: 

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.teamfoundation.workitemtracking.client.workitem(v=vs.120).aspx

        [string]$TFSURI = $NMTFS_CollectionUri + "_apis/wit/workitems?ids=$itemNumber&fields=System.Id,System.Title,System.Description,System.History,System.AreaPath,System.TeamProject,"+`
        "System.IterationPath,System.WorkItemType,System.State,System.Reason,System.CreatedDate,System.ChangedDate,System.ChangedBy,System.CreatedBy&api-version=1.0”

Code above does not yield all the fields speified, specifically missing Description and History objects, here is the results: 

stem.Id            : 612852
System.AreaPath      : <myarea>
System.TeamProject   : <myproject>
System.IterationPath : <myiteration>
System.WorkItemType  : Task
System.State         : To Do
System.Reason        : New task
System.CreatedDate   : 2017-01-12T15:34:19.06Z
System.CreatedBy     : <MyName>
System.ChangedDate   : 2017-01-12T16:39:23.35Z
System.ChangedBy     : <MyName>
System.Title         : test

Change Authentication provider from NTLM to Negotiate in on-premise installation of TFS2013

$
0

Hi all
I have a question concerning my on-premise installation of TFS2013.
I use TFS2013 for source-control only.
The authentication provider of our TFS2013 is NTLM
I use active-directory groups for authentication/authorization in TFS projects.
I have some projects with Team Foundation Version Control system and other projects with GIT Version Control System.

I am experiencing issues expecially with eGit plugins (for example EGIT 4.5.0.20160921). The user for authentication/authorization in TFS is the user of the windows login client.

If the EGIT client is logged on the PC with an Active Directory account it works fine.
It the EGIT client is logged on the PC with a local account (not Active Directory account) the connection to TFS2013 fails. Checking the network we see that EGIT tries to connect to TFS 2013 using the NTLM token of the windows session even if we configred EGIT to use an Active Directory account.

According to some documents found in the web I should change the Authentication provider to Negotiate.
This can be done with a simple command  on the TFS2013 server ("TFSConfig Authentication /provider:Negotiate". see: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/setup-admin/tfs/command-line/tfsconfig-cmd ).

Which are the possible issues of this change? The checked-out files will still be checked-out to the same user or there can be some issues? Some possible issues with Workspaces? Other possible issues?

Thanks

Gianluca

Changes made to Team Project files outside of Visual Studio are not detected

$
0
0

I have a TFS 2013 project. When I change a file outside of Visual Studio, the change is not detected in the Source Control Explorer or in the Pending Changes windows. This was working a week ago and something has changed. I use a local workspace which is mapped to the team project.

As an experiment I created a second team project within the same collection that also does not detect external changes. However, I created a new team project within a new collection and it does correctly detect the changes to the files. Based on this result the problem appears to be related to the collection.

I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue. Thanks.

Finding "Path" of objects through REST api

For fields like 'System.Description','System.History','System.State','System.Title', their paths are relatively self explanatory. 

Given the documentation here: 

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/integrate/api/wit/work-items#update-a-field

Where would something like 'Acceptance Criteria' for product backlog items be? I see description in this documentation: 

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.teamfoundation.workitemtracking.client.workitem(v=vs.120).aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396&cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-1

But nothing about some of the other fields. Is there a way to figure this out?

Hi

Hi, i installed TFS 2017 with MS SQL 2016 on same server (Windows Server 2012 R2).
When i'm logging in web interface in Chrome i use "user.name + password". It doesn't works for IE, EDGE and Visual Studio. There i have to use "\user.name + password".
Why logon format is different?

if i try to use "domain\user.name + password" it doesn't works. Why?

How can i bring all to the same standard?

Thank you!

How to give permission on folder basis within a TFS Project ?

$

Hi,
There is a main projet and its child projects( different solutions ) I would like to put in TFS server . I want to give permission on folder basis ( child project ) within the main project. I mean, every child project should have its own authorized users.
From Visual Studio->Team Explorer->Main Project->Child Project 1;

I click on "Child Project->Advanced->Security" . It redirect me to a permission setting screen for the child project. I add a domain user to this folder. But when I open this screen again, the authorized user seems to be removed. Is it a bug ? Is yes, how can I set permissions settings on folder basis within a project ? Is there any other way of handling this approach ?

Thanks & Best Regards,

Login issue from iOS device

I recently upgraded via migration to TFS 2017 from 2015U3. Everything went smoothly, except now I cannot login via a browser from any iOS device. Teammates who have Android devices work fine. iOS users get a login prompt, enter the creds and then it just reprompts for creds again in a never-ending loop. It is all via SSL on local LAN or VPN. 

Ideas?

Diff tools

I am not exactly sure which forum this question would go under.

Why would I want to use kdiff3 over the diff tool provided with Visual Studio 2015? I could not find a good/recent comparison of features between the two. I have used the Microsoft diff tool before at another company and I like the integration, but at my current company we use kdiff3.

Does MS provide an updated product comparison their diff tool (file compare tool)?

Deploy NodeJs app from Visual Studio Online to on premise server?

I'm housing my git repos in visual studio online and was wondering if it was possible to automate the deployment of a node app or a Web Api 2 app from VS online down to an on premise server when I push to master?

Any thoughts on how I might do this would be great.  Bonus points if I can set it up to push a specific branch to a specific server for Testing/QA/etc.

Thanks
