Good morning all;
I have a problem. I was developing on Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I had a project with many branches. They were properly mapped to the workspace on the server.
Then I was out of work for several weeks. During that period my user account timed out for inactivity and was deleted from the TFS server. When I returned the admins had to establish a new user account. As a result of this, the workspace was no longer mapped to local workspace folder.
When I first attempted to remapped, it appeared to go well but in fact I actually mapped the an incorrect folder. When I went into Workspaces edit to correct this, I got an error message saying "The path <localWorkPath>/<branch> is already mapped in workspace <workspacename;DomainUsername."
In the forum "Archived Forums V Team Foundation Server - Source and Version Control" post "How do I reset the local location of a file in source control?", He was able to figure out his issue: "My problem was that I deleted the workspace associated with my local copy of the library in its previous location but I did not remove the binding to that location. When I moved the files and uploaded the change into source control the binding remained and so there was a disconnect between the source control binding location and the active workspace."
Based on what I am seeing I figure my issue is the same due to the removal and re-adding of my user. Unfortunately, he did not go into detail, on how to resolve the issue.
Based on this, the only thing I can see is to go into the proj file of every branch and remove the mapping then remap everything individually.
However as this is so absofrackinglutely tedious and labor intensive, I would have thought that MS would have come up with a process to resolve this. Does anyone know if this is true? All advice is appreciated.
Moderators: I was not able to locate a "Team Foundation Server" active forum in the drop down list. So I put it in the Visual Studio General Question forum. If the "Team Foundation Server" exists elsewhere, can you move this post there?
