I'm implementing a continuous integration scenario for a SharePoint deployment. After all features have been build on the build server, I'm attempting to deploy the new features to the test server by running STSADM commands through PSEXEC. When I run my script from any machine where I'm logged in, it runs fine. When I add an exec co...
Some friends of mine and I were talking recently about version control, and how they were using VSS at their jobs, and were probably going to be moving off of that soon. One of them said that his company will likely be going with Team Foundation Server. Eventually, the conversation did get around to talking about some of the open sourc...
Hi. I would like to enforce my users to run unit tests and code coverage, but we are using Nunit and NCover, not MS Team system unit test\ coverage framework. How canI do it? Is there a matching check-in policy? Thanks ...
Short of hovering over the developers and question all decisions they make/code they produce.. Architectural choices, massive codefiles (5k loc), no code commenting or documentation, .. I'm using some Check-in policies in TFS2005 like Changeset Comments Policy, WorkItems, regular code reviews. What works the best in your company? So ...
Does anybody have any experience with TFS no longer letting somebody queue a new build? Everybody else on my team can still queue new builds, but when i try to, it shows a little red 'x' as tho it can't connect to that part of the server. I'm still able to check in/out code and get latest versions, but I can no longer queue up the buil...
Hello. We will be setting up Team Foundation Server shortly and I would like to know if there is any way to ensure compliance on the development workstations that will be using TFS as far as CALs and such. P.S. I apologize if this is the wrong forum... wasnt sure where to post. Thanks ...
Over the past year my group (some 50 engineers) moved onto Team Foundation Server and are now using it for source control, bug tracking and building. We have tens of thousands of lines of existing NUnit code that we continue to rely on and which we will never convert to MSTest. We have our builds set up such that NUnit posts results wi...
We have a project with many developers. Some use Visual Studio 2008 Professional with TFS Client, others use Visual Studio 2008 Team System. We have checkin policies that there should be a comment and it should be connected to a work item. Some of the developers with Visual Studio 2008 Professional are getting the following error: ...
I have a project that's in an ambiguous state in TFS. The project is mapped under my solution and it is inside the directory TFS is mapped to, however, the cjproj itself is not in there. I was able to include files underneath the project node by excluding and recincluding them in the solution, but no such option is available for the cspr...
Hi, I have a website project with a lot of small images (more than 15000), every time CI tools get source code from TFS will take a very long time. If there is a solution can avoid this? thanks for any help. ...
So, In TFS I tried to merge one branch to another - there are a lot of files needing manual merging. The dialog came up with a list of conflicts. I worked through some and went for a coffee. The screen saver came on. When I came back to my PC the list of conflicts dialog seems to have disappeared and it seems that it's done an 'accept t...
I'm looking for a way to add work items into tfs from the project portal that it creates. Basically we want our helpdesk to be to raise workitems inside of tfs, so we can then track the build etc that there fixed in. Can anyone shed any light on this? ...
Is it just in csproj files and the solution file or are there other files or locations where information is stored? What are those vssscc files doing? ...
Hi all, Background in TFS whenever you create a new project, a new SharePoint site is created under http://sharepoint/sites/projectname. To see those subsites, the following is the link that describe it: http://blog.aggregatedintelligence.com/2009/04/viewing-list-of-tfs-portals-in.html Now I want to create a SharePoint webpart that re...
Hi, I'm trying to make it easy for other developer's to pull a project from TFS, as part of the pull is it possible to automatically setup the website in IIS. I'm trying to prevent extra steps, using the inbuilt server for hosting is not an option as we have requirements that surpass it's functionality. Thanks ...
Our product is game-like, and is very rich (~40M - 100M) in binary supporting files - textures, meshes, movies etc. Like kai1968, I'd like to be able to sync-in these assets, and not just code, with a single click. Strictly speaking, however, that is different than version control: I have no desire to burden our TFS with irrelevan...
I have a project stored in TFS Source Control (2008) that is being worked on by 2 developers. All 3 versions (Developer1, Developer2 and Server) are up to date with each other. However, both Developers report that some files in Solution Explorer say 'Checked out by someone else or in another place' - but the same files viewed in Source C...
We have a TFS 2008 server that we are using for source control having migrated away from VSS :D This is great for all our web projects as they can all be migrated to VS2008. My problem is that VS2008 doesn't support development of SQL2005 SSIS packages. It is possible to check SSIS packages into TFS2008 from VS2005? Would this confl...
