Unable to connect to TFS/Source Control

[Zachary]

Hi,
I have been trying to Source Control using the "Connect" button on the Project tab, however nothing happens. I had this working a few weeks ago, but i'm not sure what has happened since. I have attached the log file for your reference.

Thanks,
Zach

Hi Zachary,

I extracted this error out of the log file:

No appropriate mapping exists for $/*********/*********/Test/ManualTestPlan1

Basically something has gone wrong or changed with the file to TFS tree mapping. You'll need a full source control program (like what Visual Studio comes with) in order to fix your mappings.

Best wishes,

Hey Cody,

I had to check the test files into TFS manually using Visual Studio. After this, I was able to connect to the TFS through WebUI and access the WebUI tests. Maybe this is how I was supposed to do it all along. I was under the impression I could connect to the TFS through WebUI, and check in my tests for the first time through the WebUI interface instead of using Visual Studio.

In any case, I've got it working now.

Thanks,
Zach

Hello Zachary,

I am very glad you were able to resolve this problem!

Your impression is correct, you can connect to TFS and check in your files that way for the first time. In your case however the error message indicates the files already were under source control, but the path to the source control location was no longer valid, thus breaking the source control it used to have. The QA edition does not have the ability to fix broken TFS configuration/connection issues.
