Whenever someone checks in code to TFS, I want to receive a notification. Is there some way to do it using the API? Further, I want to get the details of the checkin, like files impacted/change types ...
Simply put I have the following branch setup: MAIN |--- DEV |--- PROD Most developments are done in the DEV branch. When the code is ready to test, everything is merged to the MAIN branch and published to our test environment. When tests are completed, a merge to PROD is done and everything is published to the production server....
Within my company's TFS server, I need to setup an open source project. That is, I have the following requirements from this Team Project: The main committers can work the usual way, check-out and check-in files like any other TFS project. Everyone else can check-out the files and edit stuff, but they can't check-in. It should be easy ...
I am creating a Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2008 build agent for a project of mine. For the working directory, we don't use the default $(Temp)\$(BuildDefinitionPath). Instead of Temp, we use a specific folder. That folder path includes the Team Project's name. Here comes my question. Is there a variable replacement for the Team Project...
We have a TFS installation on a machine that is close to going out of support life and we're planning on migrating to a new machine in a couple of months. However in the meantime we are getting really low on disk space and (for whatever reason) we can't add more disk space. This has me wondering if there is a tool that would show us ho...
We have a Fluent NHibernate mapping test that is passing on our local machines, but when we check in to TFS, the tests are failing on the build server. We are using MSTest. The error we get is: NHibernate.Bytecode.UnableToLoadProxyFactoryFactoryException: Unable to load type 'NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle.ProxyFactoryFactory, NHibernate.By...
I've always used SVN in my past, and now that we have moved past the initial phase of a project we need to figure out our branching process for future enhancements. In reading up on this, we see that TFS has Shelving. How do they compare? What are the big gotcha's on each? In general, which is preferred and why? ...
Hi I want to create a simple ssrs report showing rolling burndown chart for each team member in a particular iteration/sprint. So if 5 members are on the team then there should a burndown chart for each of the member depiciting the remaining effort (in hrs) against last 30 days. This will be a rolling time period from present date to la...
I'm looking to migrate from an Active Directory domain-based TFS environment to a workgroup-based one. I know this is a non-traditional move but it makes sense for my purposes. This MSDN article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404883.aspx details the process for workgroup --> domain. I could deduce the proper process from th...
How in TFS do you check-in a file over the server version (no matter what). I see the option to Compare, Resolve, and revert local to the latest server version. Where is the copy over server version option? ...
I need a list of changesets (or Work Items) that were made betweend builds (I can label builds if its necessary). I need that list for our test team (and to publish 'changelist') Is MSBuild task able to retrieve that list and save as file (then I can process that list further. Or maybe I need to connect to TFS from C# code and retrieve ...
What would be a good way to use Boost in a small team (< 10 people) and lower the time between joining the team and building the application as much as possible. I basically want a workflow like this... Set up the TFS with the new person's username + password. Have them log into the TFS from Visual Studio. Check out the team project (w...
Is there a way to import Visual Studio TFS workspace, I have over 30 workspace and I need to import them to a TFS on new machine. Thanks ...
My team is currently working on an ASP .NET website. We are one of the first teams in our organization to use TFS2008 for source control. When I joined the project, it had already been active for a few months. Below is a diagram of the basic file structure we are using in TFS: $/TfsProject/ | | /* Contains our in-house class libraries...
I'm using VS2008 w/ TFS. I have a commercial package that is a .NET dll and two other dll files that .NET dll uses. I want these files to be separate from the projects that use them. I can easily make a reference in my C# project to the .NET dll and indicate "copy" so that it gets copied to the output (bin) directory to be used from the...
Is there a way in TFS in VS2010 to specify that a particular iteration is the current one, and then return that for use in queries similar to the way @Project works? If not is there a way to do sub-queries in TFS work item queries? ...
Is it possible overwrite a branch with another? Or is the only solution to delete branch B and make a new branch from Branch A? ...
My experience with TFS is limited. We run Team Foundation Server off a build server I will denote as 'Alice.' Alice has been working great until we ugraded to VS 2010; and with the urgency of a build coming up in the next few weeks, my question is how do we get a successful build? I followed the instructions listed here: http://richardsb...
Looking at the docs for tf get I think the answer is no. Still, I could be wrong. I'd like to have a file that's mapped to C:\Projects\MyProject\SQL\myScript.sql. I'd then like to run a batch file that gets several files (including that one) from the repository, puts them into a local temp folder, runs them, then deletes them. It's the...
Hi, We're using MS Visual Studio 2008. TFS seems to take into account the creation date of a file or something, to determine whether the files should be committed. Is it possible to make TFS test just on the filename and content? I check out an xml or txt file I copy the content I open notepad and paste I save the file using the s...
