I am looking into adding unit tests at work. I used MbUnit in the past, and have some sample UT's in Gallio framework. We are using VS08 which comes with its own testing suite. What are pros and cons of using VS08 TFS UT vs Gallio? What is the general recommendation on which framework to use? Thanks! ...
We are planning on a daily synchronization between TFS and SVN. The updates (Latest Version) from the TFS will be done to a network folder, and SVN repository will be updated to get the latest from the network folder. Is there a script to access the network folder from the SVN to get the latest? We were using TFS when the license expi...
My team is looking to migrate many of our tools (SCM, bug-tracking, builds, testing) to TFS. We're considering moving each system in stages. For example, move source control first, bug/feature tracking next, etc... Since we have to choose a process template to use source control (or anything in TFS) how locked in are we with the decisio...
The two projects in question were created from the same base template. Essentially I've stripped out a bunch of stuff that we don't need in several of the Work Item Templates, and deleted a few others. I'd like to copy these template changes to another project, instead of redoing all the work I just did. ...
When a build is in the completed section of the Build Explorer in Visual Studio the Build Quality can be assigned. Is there a way to restrict who can set these? Ideally I would love a way to restrict some to specific users (ie Prod Ready to the Testers) and others to another group (ie Test Ready to Developers) Vaccano ...
I want to redefine the way TF Build Service, creates folders for each build (one folder for each build). I have overridden CoreDropBuild and CopyLogFiles targets. It copies the binaries to the new location that I want but the log files will be copied to the default location still. <Target Name="CoreDropBuild" Condition=" '$(SkipDro...
I'm used to using TFS, and my company is now switching to SVN for a new project (the main reason is to better incorporate our java & .Net codebase under the same source control). I am given to understand merges in subversion are hard (Jeff mentioned this in his latest podcast). What are the problems with subversion, when compared to ...
Hi, I'm trying to get a list of all check-ins (limited / ordered by date) via the TFS query editor in Visual Studio Team Explorer. I can make a query that lists all bugs, sprint backlog item or product backlog item, but I can't find the actual check-in. Is it's possible or should I make (SQL) queries directly on the database. Ideas?...
The data in here is compressed, what type of decompression is required to get the file? ...
I have recently installed Team Explorer on one of my machines that has Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed. But know whenever I click a work item or trying to open a team query I get the following error: Could not load type 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItemTypeDeniedOrNotExistException' from assembly 'Microsoft.Tea...
I am interested in marking folders as Active, Archived, and Released in Source Control Explorer so it is easier for the team to see which branches are active. I am somewhat familiar with VSX so once I know where to start I can make progress, but I need help with where to start. An example of what I want to do is VisualSVN which places a...
When you right click on a file and select "Compare...", you get a few different options: Changeset Date Label Latest Version Workspace Version The first 3 are pretty self explanatory. But what is the difference between the latest version and workspace version? 4 seems like you are comparing the code on your machine to the latest vers...
I'm quite new to TFS (actually I only use it because I have some projects on CodePlex and did not want to go through svnbridge), and I'm looking for something equivalent to the $Revision$ parameter in SVN. Essentially on checkout, I want to update a file to contain the newest Revision number, to be displayed as Version number (just like...
As of late, my team and I have been hard at work turning our inherited source code into something we can live with. Part of this process is to make the source control image look a little more like what most people might expect to find when browsing a repository. The original structure contains a branch called "Branches", the contents of...
I'm not 100% sure it wasn't always this way and I never noticed... but I'm pretty sure this is new and something got messed up somewhere. I am able to assign work items to a user named LOCAL SERVICE (see screenshot) in TFS 2008 (Workgroup Edition). This seems wrong, but I have no idea how to fix the issue. It's not the end of the worl...
We are using continuous integration as part of our build automation. For every check in, the tfs build server builds the project and deploys to our web servers on success. When the build fails, it automatically creates a new Bug with the details of the build failure. Due to CI and the activity on the server, this might result in 10 or...
We're using TFS and we're having problems when we switch branches, it's throwing up problems with the TFS bindings every single time. We still have .vspcc files .vsscc files which is I'm guessing where it stores the bindings, does anyone have any advice on how to easily switch between branches in TFS without pain? ...
I am trying to use the Properties Metadata in the SolutionToBuild item in Team Build. I am adding the version to the Properties metadata inside a target that gets called before the code is even gotten (BuildNumberOverrideTarget), but I guess that is too late. My changed values do not get passed to solutions that are built. When does ...
Duplicate: Continuous Integration Cruise Control .NET alternatives? I'm planning to start Continuous Integration where I work. I used to use TFS in my previous workplace and before that CruiseControl.Net and before that we wrote our own CI server. I was wondering what tools are other people are using and why? I'm mainl...
I have an assembly that needs to be in the test output dir for my tests to run. I have the assembly referenced as a local copy in the project but on the build server this gets ignored. The two ways I have found to fix this are Add a special attribute to test method that will make sure the file is there for each test. [DeploymentItem("...
