How to use Visual Studio's TFVС local workspace in Rider

If you use a new workspace you need to map remote and local folders by running the command 

./tf workfold /map '$/<your remote project folder>' <local folder> /collection:<collectionUrl> /workspace:workspaceName 

the <local folder> should be your solution folder with .sln file inside.

Do this step after the second step in this post.

Since release of Azure DevOps plugin v1.160, only items 1, 3 and 4 are required. After enabling of the version control integration, everything else will be performed automatically by the plugin.

On a mac and seem to be doing everything right but my workspaces never show up in Version Control / Azure Dev Ops Services / TFS ?

@..., hello! Please note this is an article about importing of existing workspaces on Windows. If you have any other problems on macOS, then, please, submit a separate request or report your issue directly into the issue tracker.

Ivan,

OK Great, then where do I find instructions for Mac ? 

There're no instructions to import Visual Studio workspaces on Mac, because there're no workspaces created by Visual Studio on Mac. According to my knowledge, VS for Mac doesn't support the TFVC. So, you cannot import them, since there's nothing to import.

I am running evaluation copy of Rider 2020. The existing project is under Azure DevOps TFS  VCS system (not Azure DevOps git). There are many branches in the project. I am trying to figure out to checkout only specific branches and do regular works like send "Request review", "Review other devs code", "Commit" etc. Merging code from one branch to another is also important part of the code flow. Can you please help with this?

Hello,

I am trying to use my existing VS workspace with rider 2020. When I run the command tf.cmd workspaces command It will open tfs login window, after entering the username and password it shows below error

An error occurred: You do not have permission to access the server.

TF31003: Either you have not entered the necessary credentials or your user account does not have permission to connect to the Team Foundation Server at https://tfs.app.visualstudio.com/. Ask your server administrator to add the appropriate permissions to your account.

TF400813: The user 'Windows Live ID\xxxxxxxx' is not authorized to access this resource.

I checked  I have all the access on TFS server and username and password are correct and working, so why it showing Authorization error ? Can anyone please help me to solve the problem ?

Thanks!

Hello Namit Shah116,

To investigate this issue deeper please collect idea.log file after reproducing this behaviour once again (to find this file use menu "Help | Diagnostic Tools | Show Log in ..."). Then please attach it to the issue on Rider tracker I've just created according to your description: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-49848.
Also, it would be great if you could make the following experiment:

- create a new organization on visualstudio.com https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/accounts/create-organization?view=azure-devops
If a new organization is created on azure.com, please turn off the setting "Use the new URL" in "Organization settings":

- then try running the command "tf.cmd workspaces" for this created workspace

- let us know about the results (if the issue persists)

Kind regards,

Sofia.

On Rider 2022.1.1 Mac, I cannot figure out how to checkout my existing TFS workspaces. Any guide?

Muhammad Farid, please install the Azure DevOps plugin.

Ivan Migalev I have already installed the plugin. I have already set the tf file. But there is no guide on how to pull down the TFS directories to my local.

I don't have the OATH windows.

The TFS url is http://10.10.8.24:8080/tfs/progiciels.

When updating I hae the error

Failed to get changes from command line. roots=D:/Projects
