I have a small problem. I deleted project on azure devops. Then I deleted local directories. Now I still have "Detected: 1 delete(s)" in Pending changes. It is a delete operation for project dir.
I tried everything, I can't get rid of this pending change.
- I tried restoring dir, not helping.
- I tried to create the whole project again and promote the change.
- I tried deleting vs tfs cache
When I try to promote the change, I always get error TF10169: Unsupported pending change attempted...
Any suggestions?
I think I finally got this working.
I created project with same name as old one.
I tried to map it to the old folder on local disk
Then I tried to delte it all again and call tf destroy
After that I deleted the project and the change was finally gone!!

I have a project under source control using TFS and Azure DevOps.
It all works normally except for one thing: When I check in a file, I get this error message:
TF10122: The path '$/KnowledgeBuilder/V2/$tf/1/1f8c47a1-8066-42d7-b56c-c9960b0ee7ea.gz' contains a '$' at the beginning of a path component. Remove the '$' and try again.
The check-in does in fact succeed, but I get three of the above error messages each time. I can simply ignore this, but it is starting to get annoying.
It appears the folder in question is a TFS created and controlled folder. I tried deleting the folder, but that remove the Project from Source Control, so I restored them.
Is there a way to resolve this?
This occurs in VS22 on a Blazor Server Project. I have tried opening the Project in VS19, making a change, and then checking it in, and it works fine. So, it must be something specific to VS22.
Someone, sometime, at some point, added that $tf folder to version control. It should not be there, ever, under any circumstances -- that's the folder that TFVC uses to track local workspaces. That's why removing it messes up your workspace.
Make sure any pending changes are committed or shelved first.
Remove that folder from source control. Make sure the change is checked in. You might need to use a server workspace to do this so that the $tf folder isn't relevant.
Use tf get to force a re-sync of your local workspace. tf get /all /overwrite should do the trick. If it doesn't, then just delete and recreate the workspace.
Add $tf to your .tfignore file (although if memory serves, that shouldn't be strictly necessary -- I haven't worked with TFVC in a few years)
I am trying to branch a directory in TFS using the Source Control explorer, however whenever I do, I always get this error:
TF400962: There was a database update error. Please try your operation again.
This occurs after confirming I would like to branch after it informs me that it will be committed as a single operation, pending changes will not be created and that it cannot be canceled when it is started.
I have been stuck on this for a while now and I can't seem to find any solution to this, here is a list of things I have tried.
Made sure the Target Branch Name is below 255 characters (As suggested here). I also made sure the whole path on my machine was also less than 255 characters.
Changed workspaces.
Updated Visual Studio to the latest version.
Restarted Visual Studio.
Restarted my machine.
Branched another directory (To see if the directory I need to branch isn't throwing the error).
Made sure connection to the TFS server was correct.
Checked that I had the correct settings in the workspace.
Downloaded the directory I am trying to branch to my PC.
I have ran out of ideas and it really is frustrating me. Any help would be appreciated. I'm using Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise now running on the latest updates.
Check if you had a deleted branch in the path you are trying to branch to.
Steps to reproduce:
Have code at $/path/to/main
Branch from $/path/to/main to $/another/path/dev
Delete $/another/path/dev
Try to branch from $/path/to/main to $/another/path/dev/branch
-> TF400962
Problem seems to be that $/another/path/dev/branch overlaps with deleted branch $/another/path/dev
Resolution:
Show deleted elements in TFS Explorer
Convert deleted branch $/another/path/dev/branch to regular folder
Branch from $/path/to/main to $/another/path/dev/branch
-> Success!
The error you are getting a generic error that could happen because of any TFS SQL Server related issue. Please check events logs on your TFS's SQL server machine. You might find more information there.

Make sure your TFS DB is not out of disk space.
Today, while trying to publish an app so I could test it, I suddenly got this error message:
The item
D:\ScratchSrc\TryNewReportViewer2017\TryNewReportViewer2017\TryNewReportViewer2017.csproj.vspscc
could not be found in your workspace, or you do not have permission to
access it.
That's a mystery to me, as I've never gotten this before and I was working with this app just last week. Publishing it, too.
I've looked for the .vspscc file. Found it exactly where it said it should be. So, the alternative is that I don't have permissions to it. I don't understand why I shouldn't have permissions to a file on my machine that I created, but whatever. So, how do I get permissions to my own file?
I'm working with VS 2017, TFS 2015 on premise.
This issue may due to the wrong source control binding for that specific xx.vspscc file.
Double check your source control bindings for that file in TFS. You could also try to unbind and rebind the file.
Then delete the file in local(back up local changes first) and get latest version from TFS. Finally do the publish again.
If above solution is still not working, try to delete local workspace and create a new one, get latest version of the file, modify the file with local changes (if you have) in your backup , check in the file, then do the publish .
Another reason for this problem is, that the vspscc file is not checked in.
Just do a "Compare" on the project folder to see, if it's missing.
If the csproj.vspscc is missing you can create a new one by removing the project in visual studio and adding it back
I was able to 'fix' the problem by going to the source control explorer, selecting the smproj file (which was checked out for editing), and checked it in by itself. Then, I checked in the Model.bim. Was able to do both of these things without getting the error.
I also tried all the usual things, deleting the entire solution directory, getting it from TFS again but nothing worked.
Noticed the version of Visual Studio 2019 was a few months old so upgraded to the latest. That fixed it!
Visual Studio (and possibly TFS) has somehow (I think perhaps during a source control merge) become confused about the path of a project within my solution.
It thinks it is here (example paths for simplicity):
C:\My Projects\ExampleSolution\ExampleProjectWrong\ExampleProjectCorrect.csproj
whereas actually, the project file is located here:
C:\My Projects\ExampleSolution\ExampleProjectCorrect\ExampleProjectCorrect.csproj
I cannot for the life of me get it to recognize the correct location. I have tried:
Removing and re-adding the project from the correct location. An error message comes up saying The project file at C:\My Projects\ExampleSolution\ExampleProjectWrong\ExampleProjectCorrect.csproj could not be found.
Manually editing the .sln file to ensure all references to ExampleProjectCorrect.csproj have the correct paths.
Doing a find in files on the solution directory for both the correct and incorrect paths, to try and track down where studio is hiding the incorrect path.
Deleting the cache directories for VS and TFS
I'm tearing my hair out because I can't recreate the solution as it has near as makes no difference 100 projects in and is tied in to source control with several other developers working on it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where it is storing this incorrect path and/or how to reset it so the damn thing will load correctly?
Go to Manage Workspaces (either through the File/Source Control menu or the workspace drop down in Source Control Explorer)
select edit for your workspace.
You should see, under working folders, a mapping for the source
control directory to the old/wrong project directory.
Select it and click remove.
Close VS and delete the suo file.
It still references the wrong directory. Maybe rebinding might work at this point but I didn't try that. Reload your project and you should be good to go.
Simply deleting the solutions .suo file worked for me.
I was facing this issue after performing a migration from Visual Source Safe 2005 to TFS 2012. I couldn't wait for the "Conversion Wizard" due out in the next couple weeks so I just ran VSSConvert.exe. This took 6 or so years of history and moved it into TFS.. while I didn't get the actual timeline history.. I got a bunch of entries on the same day with the comments indicating the actual check-ins of the history.. not bad.
So after it ran all night (Successfully, yay!), I was having trouble loading my projects just as this question stated. For some reason, a few projects were being referenced to an incorrect directory. I checked the .sln, the .vsproj files, and getting latest, deleting re-getting, adding removing, etc.. I tried everything noted here... even upgrading my workspace, which I'm not sure what that even did.
FINALLY... I deleted the *.suo files and viola. It worked.
I spent a couple hours on this one.
A slightly different solution.
TFS was displaying a non-existing path for a particular Solution. Previously, I had a laptop with a separate D: drive, but now, I just have a C: drive. TFS still thought my project was stored on D:\Project\MikesProject
I didn't have a .suo file to delete, the D: path wasn't mentioned anywhere in my Workspaces (buried away under the File\Source Control\Advanced\Workspaces menu), TFS showed that I did have the latest files in my (no-longer-existant) D: directory, and TFS in VS2013 didn't have a "Remove Mappings" option for this project.
But what did work was to simply do a "Get latest version" on the project.
After doing so, a fresh copy of the code was written to my C: drive, and (interestingly), now the Local Path was shown underlined.
Previously, the D: path wasn't shown like this.
Odd. Very odd.
We've had similar issues with moves and renames.
Deleting the local directories and then getting again solved it.
Even after deleting the .suo file and .vs folders, I had to edit the .sln file and remove the old relative url from SccProjectName# despite the SccLocalPath# being correct. Apparently VS also uses the name as a hint path.
Try to delete or rename .suo file (including extension). This file is at the same location where your solution file is. It worked for me.
Just guessing, but perhaps some of your other projects references your project from the wrong location? In this case, you have not just to delete and re-insert the project into your solution, you will also have to delete and recreate the references from the referencing projects (stored in their .csproj files).
After trying many recommendations I deleted the suo file ( again ). The last time worked. Why it did not work earlier I do not know. In general I find deleting the suo file one of the first steps I do.
I had my asp.net website solution opened from my Dev Branch.
Then for some other purpose I opened same solution from Main branch.
I made a change to one of my .ascx.cs file in the dev branch and set breakpoint. When I ran the debugger, all my break points were hit in the Dev Branch except for the .ascx.cs which was hitting the Main branch. Have not idea.
Tried cleaning the Temporary folder but didn't work.
What worked:
Closed all instances of Visual Studio
Opened the solution from Dev branch again.
Run again and the break points started hitting.
In my case i copied the *.sln file into the project folder and changed the path to project into the *.sln file. Only this resolved the problem (vs 2015 sp1, winservise project).
Delete *.suo does not helps for me.
Yet another solution worked for us - after trying the delete of suo and almost everything mentioned in this thread. We had a project in the solution which was showing a ghost version of the csproj file. We deleted that file and our paths fixed on another project we were trying to add.
Deleting obj and bin files would solve the problem...
I know it is an old line. I just went through the same problem. We recently migrate the TFS, so I created a new workspace to map to new server and kept the old one. Every time when I open a solution which is supposed to target to my new workspace, VS always tried to load projects from my old mapping directory, till I removed my old workspace.
After doing a subversion merge with a co-worker, my VSeWSS project no longer build correctly. It creates two features for a single webpart feature (before the merge, this didn't happen). If the name of the feature is "MyFeature', VSeWSS always creates a second folder called 'MyFeature_2' and adds it to the solution manifest.
I've tried deleting everything I know to delete: pkg/MyFeature_2, the entry from pkg/manifest.xml, and the incorrect feature id in pkg/solution.xml (which gets generated every time I build the wsp). I've deleted bin/Debug/solution. After that, I have no idea where VSeWSS is getting information telling it to add a second feature.
I've also tried completely removing that feature and re-adding it from scratch, but the same behavior persists. In the WSP view, the 'delete feature' button is enabled for the "true" feature, but disabled for the generated one. however, if I try to delete the true one, it fails and reports a permission error on pkg/MyFeature/.svn/all-wcprops.
Grr.
By default the /pkg directory isn't part of your Visual Studio project. So it doesn't get added to source control. You need to add this as it contains the GUID's for features and if you don't have it you'll find VSeWSS will silently create new GUID's and populate /pkg for you.

Paul
It turns out that during the SVN merge, the pkg/MyFeature/feature.xml file got jacked up. A FeatureID was no longer specified, so every time it tried to rebuild, VSeWSS generated a FeatureID for it, which caused it to try and build out the entire feature again, but the folder that existed in the filesystem was in conflict with it. Once I restored the feature.xml for MyFeature, this problem was resolved. Now my problem is that I can't seem to get the package built - there may be a problem retracting the old solution, but that's something different.
