I am building a release of my project using tfs build which generates a unique identity for the build in tfs build explorer such as "MyProject_20090122.1" indicating that this is the first build on 2009-01-22. However this is my release 1.0.0 of MyProject. Is there a way to connect the two identifiers or do I have to maintain the mapping...
I am trying to get started using Dependency Replicator http://www.codeplex.com/tfsdepreplicator. There is no documentation in place and therefore no example of a DependencyReplicator.xml file which I need in order to take my experiment further. Can anyone using Dependency Replicator supply a demo .xml file? ...
I am wondering if there is a way for me to list all 'files' containted in a tfs team project. What I am aiming to do is search for files of a particular name that dont have fixed paths within TFS caused by branching ($/MyTeamProject/Main/Build/instruction.xml and $/MyTeamProject/Branches/Release_1.0). Once a file would be found I would l...
My group is moving to Team Foundation Server soon. Actually, I'm heading up the effort. One of the things you get to decide is which methodology you're using - Agile, CMMI, etc. Thing is - I have no idea what methodology we use. By which I mean, we're not actively using one. And I'm not familiar enough with Agile or other methods to kn...
I want a list of all the checked out files, by all users, in a project in TFS 2005. All I can see now are my checked out files - in the pending changes window. I remember that in Source Safe there was such an option - is there one in TFS 2005? ...
I have two domains. TFS 2008 is installed on DEV domain, proxy on PROD. There is two-way trust and both servers can authenticate users from both domains. TFS was working fine, and suddenly stopped. Looking at the logs there was a great deal of AD noise (Can't load global catalog, etc.). The trust between the domains (DEV and PROD) was ...
Hello, Having run a compare between a main branch folder and a given changeset in Source Control (Visual Studio TFS), and finding a number of differences, I would like to export the results to a spreadsheet so that it can be passed around and notes made etc... Is there any way that I can export this list results from the Folder Differe...
Let's say that the company has a large number of separate small to medium applications which can be logically divided into a small number of groups. For example, I can have BMW, Mazda, Honda, Ford .... , Kawasaki, Harley, .... altogether a few dozens or even hundreds of applications. I think I have 2 options in TFS: Create a separate...
We're using team foundation server for our source control. I frequently put files into my project (under source control) and forget to "add" them as far as TFS is concerned. There are also cases where TFS doesn't pick up new files (copy and paste a file in your project). Is there a way I can list all of the files that have not been mark...
We are moving from ClearCase to TFS2008. I easily found the MS migration tool but it seems to be targeted to TFS 2005. Any suggestions on other tools that could accomplish this? ...
Does anyone know (or know where to find, couldn't myself) what variables I can use on a TFSBuild.proj file for my automated builds? For example, $(SolutionRoot) gives me the path to all my source files, but I want to copy the built solution from the release directory (ie: \Nightly Build20090127.7\Release\_PublishedWebsites) and I can't ...
Hi, I'm begining the development of a personal Web Application project. I'd like to have a source control system for that project. At work, we user Team Foundation Server and I'm quite happy with that, mostly for the Visual Studio integration. I'd like to know if there was free source control solutions that had the same kind of integr...
I'm trying to get my WATIN tests to work in TFS2008 (continuous integration) as part of a nightly build. All tests work fine on my local machine (from VS2008), and my unit tests (non-watin) work great locally, as well as in TFS. to illustrate what we're doing I've got a simple test: [TestMethod] public void Watin() { ...
I currently use VS 2008 Professional, but I'm trying to get Team System Developer Edition working in a Virtual Machine to evaluate it. However, when I try to open any of my current solutions, it gives me the following message: 'Z:\Samples\ChartControl\WebSamples' cannot be opened because its project type () is not supported by this vers...
In TFS, you are able to create automated builds and create branches (well, hopefully. ;) ) I have the following structure: ->Trunk ->Branches -> Branch A If you create an automated build, you are able to create a trigger for the build. In my case I want to create a build for Branch A so that when a checkin occurs Branch A is built...
Any good videos online on how to use Team Foundation Server as your Source Control repository? I need something quick to get me jump started. ...
We currently use BugZilla for bug/issue tracking, but are looking for other solutions which hopefully fits us better. One of the features we really would like is integration with both SVN and TFS, as we use both internally (java folks use SVN, .NET folks use TFS), but I have yet to find any who does both. Many do integrate with SVN, but...
I'm following instructions on how to create a new build type in TFS, and it says to: In team explorer, select the project you want to create a new build type on the build menu, select new team build type My build menu doesn't have that option, it has: Queue new build New build definition Manage build agents, and Manage build quali...
In vs2005 opening a file causes a dialog to pop up "Contacting server to get a list of items to update"... everytime... I'm not checking out / editing ... just opening to view. Reset vs2005 settings etc ... but to no avail ... No settings appear to be diff. between mine and other devs boxes here. Appears to be nothing on google. No add...
Hi, My team foundation is setup to use port 8080, when I am creating a new build agent it defaults to port 9191. Which one should I use? I am getting an error when I try and run my build, it says the build agent was unreachable. I created a share on my drive c:\tfsbuilds, and I added the TFSService account and gave it full rights. I...
