Hello,
I'm running into a frequent issue where TFS2005 pops up an error when I attempt to check in changes. (Sorry, I do not currently have the text of the message recorded.) Attempting to check it back in indicates there is nothing to do and indeed a compare shows the items to be the same and the server version having my changes.
However, I then use ProTool to generate the list of changes to promote and it fails to pick up the changeset that had the error.
I've not used TFS until the past month or two so I'm sure there's some best practice I'm not following. Some factors that may or may not contribute: - I generally have the changed files still open in the IDE. - Work items appear very susceptable to requiring a refresh/loss of changes--to the point where it seems like it could be something other than another user getting in as the message alludes to.
It could be any one of a dozen other issues (not saving or reopening the work item at the right time, etc.)
Anyone have any suggestions?
