    There appears to be an issue on the Changes page for a given changeset "Version" link. (big grin)

    Example:

    Currently the URL is set to somthing like: http://<someserver>:8090/UI/Pages/Scc/cs.aspx?cs=70239

    However, TFS 2008 requires: http://<someserver>:8090/UI/Pages/Scc/ViewChangeset.aspx?changeset=70239

    Note: My Build Repositiry browser is set to "Team System Web Access" and Example URL to change set page: "http://<someserver>:8090/UI/Pages/Scc/"

    I have changed as many settings as I can find in hudson - it looks like the ".aspx" URL is listing the wrong page name for TFS2008

    It would be nice to just append the id's of a given changeset in the TFS plugin code and let the URL be completely configured in hudson.

    For Example:

    URL - http://<someserver>:8090/UI/Pages/Scc/ViewChangeset.aspx?changeset=

    Then append the changeset id for any links on the changes page in hudson.

      Raised an issue for this problem. See http://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-7394

      While your observation, diagnostic and description are all pretty good, please use the issue tracker in the future to signal this kind of problems because in this way there is a much better chance to see it solved and you will be able to better track the problem and get notified as soon as a solution is found.

    +1 to Joe Mash issue.

    Also have a trouble with locale encoding. We have non latin (russian, win1251) comments in tfs checkins, so "changelist" in hudson show abracadabra instead of russian letters.

    Hi,

    In version 1.8, several fixes were made to clean up workspaces when things changed. We just ran into an issue after changing the username which accesses the TFS box (we were using an employee's credentials, and changed it to an account created for the build team). This caused builds to fail with the error (details hidden in angle brackets):

    The working folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\.hudson\jobs\<JOBNAME>\workspace is already in use by the workspace <JOBNAME>;<USERNAME> on computer <COMPUTERNAME>.

    In order to get the builds to work again, we had to first put the old user back; then wipe out the workspace; then configure the new user. Now it builds correctly.

    The key to getting this to work was seeing the description of the fixes that went into 1.8, so thanks for having that up here!

    Would it be possible to fix it so that, whenever the user defined for a job is changed, that job's workspace is wiped out similarly, so nobody else will get the "already in use" error above?

    Thanks,
    Ken

    Hi,

    Our build environment requires supporting tags.  Any idea when this will be completed?  (It's in the road map for "1.x", but does not have a date or a ticket number associated with it.)

    Thanks,
    Ken

  5. Ken Van Hoeylandt

    Hi,

    I see this page reflects the new version 1.12 which fixes the "unparseable date" issue, which we've eagerly been awaiting. However, the latest download still points to the 1.11 version.

    Thanks,
    Ken

    hi 

    I want add more  Project path  in a job  ,  to fix the problem  of reference,   how can i do ?

    why the Team Foundation Server plugin do not have the Button like " add more locations "  

    the SVN plugin have this function.  

  7. Lohith Shanthkumar

    Hi,

    How do we include and/or exclude regions to monitor SCM in TFS also do not see option "Add more locations" button. Say for e.g.: $/ProjectA/source/ under source I want to monitor two or more paths for SCM Change.

  8. Denny Vriesman

    Hi,

    I need to change the plugin for an especific integration. I've downloaded sources code and build an project from Eclipse.

    I put the tfs directory and tfs.hpi in plugin directory of Jenkins and at first I thought everything was ok, but wasn't. The method pollChanges is never called. The only method have been called is checkout.

    So, every build is calling checkout method, even whitout anychange in source code in TFS.

    In my understading, the checkout method should be called only if poolChanges returns true, is it right ? Does somebody know what's the possible problema ? Why poolChanges have never been called ?

    Thanks

  9. William Lichtenberger

    Hi,

    There appears to be a defect, that if something causes a build (for instance, someone clicks 'build now') other than TFS polling, the TFS_CHANGESET property remains the same.  Since I don't have 'update selected' and it gets new code for the polling directory, I need that new changeset number, so I can accurately get the right version of code in other locations.

    Thanks

    I've been getting this working on centos

    1. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh301122.aspx#InstallCLC

    2. Download the command line tool and make tf executable (chmod +x tf), also put the location into it's your bashrc PATH=/location/tf

    3. sudo su jenkins and accept the licence agrement ."/tf eula -accept"

    4. This will mean that you can now use TFS from centos should work for all unix/linux debian etc, etc

  12. Rhonda Seiber Doane

    Hello, 

    In our environment, we have a few projects that are coded in C/C++ and require that we build on both the Windows and Linux platforms.  

    I thought that I could use the Master/Slave concept by using Windows as the Master and Linux as the slave.  However, when I attempted to configure Jenkins in this way, I found that I couldn't change the path to TFS for each of the environments.  I could set the path to the other tools that are used but not for TFS.  It appears that this isn't configurable for those environments that may differs. 

    My first thought was that perhaps I configured something incorrectly.  Perhaps there is another method that I fail to see at this point in time. The problem that I encountered was that when the slave tried to pull the source from TFS, it was looking in the master's (windows) install path for the TFS.exe.  On Linux, it couldn't use this path because it was unaware of the windows environment. I installed the CLC on the Linux machine in hopes that I could configure the slave to use this path.  It appeared to me that this wasn't something that I could change.  After installing CLC on the Linux system, this allows me to pull using TFS if I install Jenkins as a master but not as a slave (Linux).  Now the problem is how do I get the 2 masters to communicate. I have a workaround for this also.  It would be nice to not have a workaround. 

    I googled configuration options but I didn't find anything that would work. I had to move on and set up 2 separate jenkins masters which isn't ideal but it is working for now.  One on Windows and One on Linux that only builds the projects that we currently have to build Linux specific.

    Any suggestions or help would be greatly accepted. 

    1. Sam Treweek

      We do the same thing and we've just made it so that on the Master (Linux) and the Slave (windows) when you run tf from either they will both access tfs. When we want to run specific to Linux we just set the label to master and the name of the windows labels.

  13. Martin Lundhgren

    Has anyone found a way to connect to the Team Foundation Service/TFS Preview? With a live-id that is.

    1. Michael Callaghan

      Martin,

      Have you had any luck with this? I found a tool called TFS Service Credential Viewer. Blog here: http://blog.hinshelwood.com/tfs-service-credential-viewer/

      It lets you log into TFS with your Live account and then retrieve service account credentials that you can use from your build system. I have not, however, been able to get it to work with Jenkins. I keep getting told that my user is not authorized. I figure mutliple people working on this may yield better results, so if you have a breakthrough, please post here.

  15. Mike McGuinness

    There really is an issue with master/slave configurations.

    For instance, in my situation, I have a linux master and a service-slave on a windows box, the windows box has the tfs client as well as a path that includes the tf.exe directory,  on the windows box, I can open a command line anywhere, call tf and it resolves without issue, but if I configure in the general configurations of the master (linux box) to search for tf or tf.exe, which the little help option says will allow the slave to locate the tf exe from path, if I attempt to run a job on the windows slave, I get the following:

    java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "tf.exe" (in directory "c:\Jenkins\workspace\Build"): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

    The only way of having the build work on the slave is to configure the exact path to tf as it appears on the slave in my master.  That results in a red warning text saying that it cannot find that in the linux PATH, which is normal because it is a windows path....

    I think that this problem can be resolved in 1 of two ways:

    1: fix the usage of path when tf (not including the path) is specified in the main configuration.  This allows each slave to have his own defined path that allows resolution of tf.

    2: instead, allow to configure/override the master configured path under the node section, this way we can specify the full path to tf.exe for each node which would also solve our issue.

    Is there any chance of this getting fixed???

    thanks.

    Hi,
    Do you have a plan to add TFS 2012 support? It has different format of URLs so links for changesets don't work.

    1. Olivier Dagenais

      JENKINS-16207 makes it look easy enough. If that issue describes what you want, please go vote for it, otherwise create another one.

      I'm currently only adding features and fixing defects for things I needed yesterday, but once that's done, I can go through the backlog and see what's most important/sought after.

  17. William Lichtenberger

    How do you use 'Add support for polling without needing a workspace?'  I upgraded to 2.0 and to the best that I can tell, nothing is different.

    1. Olivier Dagenais

      It's always active; the code for polling used to need a workspace present and then would use a TF command that compared what was on the server to what was in the workspace. Since the TFS plugin now records which changeset the last build was built against, the polling consists of using a TF command to ask for any changesets since the last recorded one, which does not require a workspace. See line 192 in the diff for the code version of what I just wrote, plus the other changes in pull request #14 for more details.

      One way you would be able to tell that something is different is the TF executable will now be invoked for polling on the master instead of on the agent(s), since a workspace is no longer required for polling.

      Another way to see the difference: downgrade to 1.20 and turn off all your agents with tied TFS jobs. Version 1.20 and below would, at the next polling interval, automatically cause a build of those tied jobs to be queued because no workspace was available to poll with. (It's something we noticed when rebooting agents after, say, installing operating system updates)

      HTH,
      Oli

      1. William Lichtenberger

        Okay, so this is CLOSER to what I really want, but not it.  What I really want is to not need to download source at all, and still be able to leverage polling on a TFS folder.

        1. Olivier Dagenais

          If I understand you correctly, you are saying you want to write a job that is triggered whenever something changes in TFS, but will not perform a GET when that happens. Is that what you mean? Either way, can you give more details about what you're trying to do?

          1. William Lichtenberger

            The simplest example I have invovles git-tf or git-tfs.  Right now I have a job that runs every few minutes that fetches down the latest changeset.  But it would be nice if I could poll for updates, and only run the job when I KNOW there is a changeset to fetch.  Then I don't have hundreds of jenkins jobs that did no actual work, obfuscating the ones that are relevant.  Does that help?

            1. Olivier Dagenais

              Ah, yes, I see what you're trying to do now. I have two options to recommend you:

              1. Cloak subfolders
              2. Use TFS jobs to trigger Jenkins jobs

              Cloak subfolders

              In your Jenkins job that monitors TFS:

              1. Set the "Use update" checkbox to checked, which will only create a workspace (per agent) once.
              2. Tie the job to the master or a specific agent to simplify matters.
              3. Cloak all subfolders in that workspace. On the tied agent:
                1. Navigate to the workspace folder
                2. Run tf workfold -cloak with the appropriate options
                3. Repeat until all sub-folders are cloaked
                  The polling by the TFS plugin will only trigger a job run when there are changes since the last time and, when it does run the job, the "Get" will do almost nothing since everything is cloaked.

              Use TFS jobs to trigger Jenkins jobs

              This won't use the Jenkins TFS plugin at all. Using Visual Studio, create a Build Definition that will:

              1. Trigger using Continuous Integration (or Rolling Builds if you don't want to trigger on every check-in)
              2. Monitor the folder you're interested in (cloak sub-folders here, too, to speed up the "Get")
              3. Execute an MSBuild script that queues a Jenkins build:
                1. In Projects to Build, point to a .msbuild file that's in source control (instead of a solution file)
                2. In the .msbuild file, trigger an HTTP POST to your Jenkins server for the job that needs to be notified of check-ins. For example: http://server/job/ConvertTfsToGit/build

              Let me know how that works out for you.

    1. Olivier Dagenais

      Thanks for reporting this and I apologize for the inconvenience.

      Can you let me know anything else about your environment? For example, what version of Windows and Java are you running? Is Java configured with any security restrictions? Are you running under a servlet container? Do you use Jenkins slaves on other operating systems?

      A lot of the information I request can be found in Jenkins' System Properties page, at http://example.com:8080/systemInfo Can you copy-paste the values for the following rows?

      • com.microsoft.tfs.jni.native.base-directory
      • java.home
      • java.runtime.version
      • JENKINS_HOME

      Thanks!

        jenkins.xlsx

        Attached is a dump of my config. Removed some corporate-specific vars and usernames but everything else is legit. If there's a better format than an xlsx let me know.

        Jenkisn is running on Windows 7 Enterprise. Java isn't configured with any restrictions that I know of. The machine has Java 1.6.x. Jenkins is running in whatever container the default Windows installer on their site runs it in. No slaves, just this one instance.

    All is working fine when I go back to version 2.0.

    1. Olivier Dagenais

      Thanks for reporting this and I apologize for the inconvenience.

      What version of TFS are you running? I only tested with TFS 2012.

      Can you let me know anything else about your environment? For example, what's the operating system Jenkins is running under (it sounds like Windows)? Is Java configured with any security restrictions? Do you use Jenkins slaves on other operating systems? If so, is this happening when a job executes on the master or on a slave?

      Thanks!

      1. Julien Graziano

        We are using TFS 2012. Our build architecture is as follow:

         - a master which runs on a linux server (Ubuntu 12.04), running Jenkins 1.538 with tomcat 7,

         - Mac OS X slave with Mac OS X Mountains Lions and Java 1.6.0_51 (I don't know if it runs with security restriction :-/)

        1. Olivier Dagenais

          I had a hunch and searched online for part of the stack trace. I found NullPointerException when attempting to connect to TFS server.

          Can you look for the file .microsoft/Team Foundation/4.0/Cache/VersionControl.config under the $HOME folder of the user Jenkins runs as, on both machines? It should be valid XML and I suspect it might be a bunch of NULLs.

          Thanks!

            SOLVED

            I have a very similar setup (master Jenkins on FreeBSD via Tomcat, Windows slave).  Here's the situation.

            Tomcat runs as user "www" (or "nobody"), however the server process is started as root (so it can bind port 80, etc) before it calls setuid() to run as user www.  The $HOME directory environment variable however, is not changed so it remains root's home directory (/root on FreeBSD) and not www's.  Which is good...because www's home directory is /nonexistent which as the name suggests doesn't actually exist and we don't want it to.

            But of course, the www user doesn't have permission to create /root/.microsoft.  The solution then, is to create /root/.microsoft and chown it to your tomcat7 user (in my case "www", it's "nobody" on most Linux I believe) and set rwx:

            mkdir /root/.microsoft

            chown www:www /root/.microsoft

            chmod 755 /root/.microsoft

            No such kludges were needed on the (Windows) slave machine, only the master (Unix).

            I've no idea why TFS needs this directory... It already has $tf to store anything it could possibly need and this kind of shenanigans just makes TFS a PITA to use on build servers in general.  :-P

    Hi,

    I want to know if it's possible to configure this plugin for TFS 2010 with Collections.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    My builds started mysteriously failing on Monday this week with first one issue, now a second.  I've been hacking at it for a while and found that the workspace is now being created with a root mapping into TFS, and then a mapping is added for the project I specified in the Jenkins setup after the initial workspace creation.  Now when I try to do a build, it tries to use that default mapping which is trying to pull down 4GB worth of code across 10 or so projects we have in source control, rather than the one I specified in the jenkins setup.  My workaround is to run the CI once, go into Visual Studio and remove the root mapping, run it again, and the get executes fine.  Is there a config issue that could cause this?  Nothing that anyone has owned up to on our project has changed in our CI or NI builds, so maybe this "root workspace" thing was always being created but wasn't a problem before- a bit mystfied on this.  I've contacted our server folks to make sure that no maintenance or patching was done on the server over the weekend, and none has.

    Now, after the get completes, I get the following stacktrace:

    Started by user anonymous

    I've spent 2.5 days on this so far (so much for bench time over the holidays, eh?) and would really welcome any input.  

    Also- I see TRACE statements in the plugin code, how do we enable log4j to TRACE log to a file?  I am running as a service, so the console appender is useless.  I've added a file appender to the log4j.properties in the war file to no avail.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan O.

      Dan,

      Have you found a solution yet?  My network administrators say that the firewall was preventing my jenkins machine from completing requests to the TFS server.  I was wondering if anyone had a list of ports that jenkins requires to communicate with TFS.

      Anybody have this insight?

      Jonathan

      1. Dan O

        Hi Jonathan,

        My issue was caused because I'd changed my personal network password which was being used in that Jenkins project (it started of as a prototype, so using my own credentials was the fastest way to get it up and running).  For some reason, I couldn't get the password change (or even a new credential) to stick in Jenkins so that project was scrapped and we stood up a production project using a credential created specifically our Java build servers to access the TFS server.

        We've had firewall issues in the past.  If it's your local windows firewall, I don't think you need port numbers, you need to allow Jenkins or java.exe through the firewall.  If you have more than one java.exe on your machine (JRE, JDK, browser plugin, etc.) make sure you figure out which one is being used by Jenkins to create the appropriate firewall exception.
        Our VM and TFS servers are on different subnets, so for the VM where our Jenkins actually lives, we had to add proxy settings to both Jenkins and Maven (Google is your friend here) to get around the restrictions set up on the VM subnet.  

        Additionally, I've found that if your TFS server has a static IP, you can avoid some cross-domain dns problems by using server IP instead.

        Hope this helps,
        Dan O.

    Hi,

    Using TFS plugin, How can i exclude commits done by the build itself from triggering another build.?

    It is possible with 'Subversion plugin' using "Excluded Users" option.

    Thanks

    Does the labeling feature added by @rodrigolopes work with Visual Studio Online (VSO)? I have been trying to use it but so far have not been able to get it to apply a label in VSO. Is there any way to apply a label in VSO?

    Thanks,

    I just created JENKINS-26375, "Team Foundation Server Plugin (TFS) creates bogus users in 3.0 and later". Everything after 2.0 is detecting users as domain\userID where 2.0 and earlier just detected userID. Since the Active Directory authentication plugin also creates users as just userID and leaves off the domain, this means that TFS 3.0 and later is creating new, unique users and incorrectly sending email and linking change histories to those bogus accounts. Looks like pull request 17 is the culprit...can anyone clean this up and re-release?

    https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-26375

  26. Jesse Jacob

    I just created JENKINS-26449, "Team Foundation Server Plugin: Team System Web Access repository browser links broken for TFS 2012 and 2013". They might also be broken for TFS 2010, but I don't use that and I know MS changed the link strategy for 2012 and 2013, so I detailed the current URL formats for the plugin and the expected/needed formats for TFS 2012/13. Hopefully someone can fix this so we can use the repo browser.

  27. russ robinson

    hello,

    Anyone have experience setting up jenkins to use a TFS proxy?

    I need to set this up for a remote office and so far my attempts have not been successful.

    Thank you

    Hi,

    The plugin uses following commands to get the source from tfs

    tf.exe history $/path -recursive -stopafter:1 -noprompt -version:D2015-06-02T10:04:41Z -format:brief ******** -server:http://tfs:8080
    tf.exe workspaces -format:brief -server:http://tfs:8080 ********
    tf.exe workspace -new Hudson-proj-MASTER;user -noprompt -server:http://tfs:8080 ********
    tf.exe workfold -map $/path... localpath -workspace:Hudson-proj-MASTER -server:http://tfs:8080 ********
    tf.exe get . -recursive -version:VVVV -noprompt ********

    in tfs workspaces there is a option of  mapping multiple folders to the workspace, which this plugin does not provide the option, so essentialy it will invoke following for each folder to be mapped

    tf.exe workfold -map $/path... localpath -workspace:Hudson-proj-MASTER -server:http://tfs:8080 ********

    maybe if we can give option of specifying the folders as a comma seperated list this would be easy requirement to accomodate.

    regards

    Tarun

    Regarding TFS plug-in 4.0.0

    Please move the major feature to the top of the change list and indicate that there is a good change that it will break existing jobs, see:

    Is there a way to use Jenkins credentials plugin to store passwords for different jobs? It becomes cumbersome to edit each job with new password for TFS.

    1. Jirong Hu

      This becomes a huge issue for us, as we are using a common build user id for the whole company and the development team doesn't own the password. Guess this plugin is no longer under development as most of people already moved out of TFS.

    Hi, this is Team Foundation Server Plug-in  5.2.1 show in the  changes(Pic 1).  'Microsoft ......' is so long and so ugly. 

    What about  revert  the  'Microsoft ......'  to 'detail'  , when click on the 'detail' ,turn to  file chang  list(Pic 2), then click on the 'diff' (Pic 2)  turn to the different of the code change ?

    Is  it  better for looking ?

    Hi, does this plugin support SNI? Since our TFS server is upgraded to 2017 I am not able to connect to the server. The TFS Url is now "https" url.

    After investigating a lot and running wireshark we found out that request made by Jenkins is missing SNI information hence TFS server is rejecting the request made by Jenkins. The complete stack trace of the error is as mentioned below.

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Team foundation server => 5.126.0
    Any idea how to solve it ?
    Getting version 'C137330' to 'C:\am_b1'...
