Configuring EA Version Control for TFS
« on: April 12, 2010, 07:28:58 pm »
Hi all.

I've followed the instructions from the on-line tutorial and I've created a new Team Project in TFS. I've also associated a local workspace to it.

Just to double check it, if I launch "tf get" from command line a login box prompts to get credentials to access the server; after successful logon, it appears that the contents of my new team project are got from server to the local folder I've set in TFS workspace.

Then I turn to EA and I select TFS radio button; I fill in the local folder above; I fill in user and password, and...

...then? I would expect to see the Save button enabling. Instead it keeps disabled. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Alessandro

P.S.: I've also checked that the field for the path to TFS command line facility is correctly filled in: it points to TF.EXE.

P.P.S.: I've also filled in a name for the settings.

Have you given the poor thing a name?

Yes, I've given it a name. But the button keeps disabled.

And you do have enough security privileges in EA?

I've set up this a couple of times at different machines, and I've never had any issues like that.

Thank you Geert. Currently we do not have security enabled in EA.
I've been using EA for several years and I've configured several times version control for Visual Source Safe, without having problems.

What's strange is that when I select the Working Copy Path, I would expect to see Server Name and Workspace Name fields setting with the actual names. Instead they remain blank (and disabled).

Moreover, if I set the Unique ID field first, when I move to enter values in the other fields it blanks.

Does this give you other hints?

Thank you anyway!

P.S.: I've by mistake selected "Was I helpful: No" in one of your previous post  :( ; I've then selected "Was I helpful: Yes" to balance it...   :-/
I'm not used to give this kind of feedback. Is it for the post or for the person?

I'm wondering if it's a problem for EA that the credentials to log in TFS are not the same credentials to use Windows. It was not for VSS.

Ok. It seems it works now. Do not ask me what's different. I've simply toyed some times with the select button for the Working Copy Path (changing the folder every time) and eventually the Save button enabled itself...  :o

Everything is well when it ends well (we say this in Italy). :)

Thank you Geert.

Don't worry about that. I think those vote buttons are used to fill in the stars under the user name, but I really don't care about that.
