I am the TFS administrator, and one of the developers on our team started getting the following error message:
TF400019: The pending changes table for the local workspace MACHINE-NAME;Person name could not be opened. Exception of type 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.InvalidPendingChangeTableException' was thrown.
She is using a local workspace and had a project open that she was looking at, but was not doing a check-in, check-out, get-latest or any other TFS command when this error started popping up. She closed Visual Studio, rebooted, and the error still occurs from the very moment she attempts to connect to TFS. While eventually she deleted and recreated her workspace (and lost her checkouts by doing so), we are trying to figure out how this happened. There is very little information out there about thisexception. Can anyone tell me what might cause this exception? If she accidentally deleted the "tf$" folder, would that do it? (She says she did not, but just trying to cover all the bases.) Essentially, I was hoping to come up with a way to reproduce this error so that we can try to prevent it in future.
Thank you for any advice you can provide.
