I am trying to check in file in Visual Source Safe, File is checked out and shows proper code difference. But when i am trying to check in, it completes without error but changes not getting merge.
This issue is observed for few files in VSS.
VSS version 8.0.500727.42
Check your mapped with server folders with all hierarchy structure is matches with you original local folders).

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 have an MVC application and I created new file(.cshtml) in the View folder, the changes was stored in my local machine but when I tried to remove mapping from the source control I can't find the physical file. Is there any other option where I can find the missing/deleted files? It's seems odd, because my changes in the existing controllers and scripts are still there only the added file was missing.
Sorry for your loss. TFS didn't delete anything. If you checked all in before you removed the mapping. The source is almost in the repos.You would see that there was a changeset with "Delete" operations against your file. Then should be able to roll back that changeset and get all of your file. But if not it is already gone.
For more detailed explanation, please refer the similar question: TFS deleted my files when changing the mapping
I'm getting this message when connected to a TFS repository and trying to edit a local .sql file that's not yet in the repository.
The item C:\bla\blabla\blablabla\USP_BLA.sql could not be found in
your workspace, or you do not have permission to access it. No items
were checked out
If I disconnect from the TFS repository everything is fine. If I re-connect to the TFS repository I start getting the message, even just trying to type/save the file.
The file is actually there in my local folder and I have the corresponding permissions, for those who are thinking otherwise. It is just a text file that I should be able to edit irrespective of whether I'm connected to the repository or not.
I got Windows SP1 installed on my Windows 7 this morning; don't know if that could be the cause of the issue. We are using the.NET Framework 4.
Any idea of what the issue is or how to resolve it?
It turns out the issue was with one of the "facts" in my question, "file that's not yet in the repository".
A file with the same file name I had locally was already there in the TFS repository, it had been checked-in a month ago by someone else.
Only when I tried to check-in the new local copy I became aware of that; the file was not supposed to be there.
Anyway, after checking-out the file from TFS everything went back to normal; I'm able to edit/save the file without issues, even if connected to TFS.
Try to get the latest version of your source code It should resolve the issue..Or Get Specific Version and allow to overwrite existing files.If still does not resolve make sure the file is present on local directory.
Do not forget to rebuild after getting latest code
I have a seemingly common problem, but cannot find a common solution that will work for me. I recently had my computer re-imaged and am now in the process of redownloading a solution from TFS. One of the solution folders contains 2 folders that list "Not downloaded" in the "Latest" column of the Source Control Explorer. When trying to open the solution, I get the error "The project file could not be loaded. Could not find file x". I've tried the methods listed below, to no avail:
Get Specific Version, checking Overwrite options
Deleting, .suo file, restarting VS2010
tf get /force
Remove mapping, deleting local files, remapping entire TFS project to local folder
tfpt rollback /changeset where the last changeset for the .csproj listed a branch and a merge as pending changes by me
File -> Source Control -> Open from Source Control, Navigate to TFS project, try to open .csproj in undownloaded folder, receive error "The selected file cannot be opened. The project file has been moved, renamed or is not on your computer."
I may be missing other things I've tried, I'll be sure to update this list if I can think of anything.
Besides those listed above, is there any other way to get those 2 folders and their content from TFS?
Try browsing via visual studio command line to the directory and do a:
tf get . /force /recursive
This should forcibly recurse down from the current directory.
You have tried most of the things that I would suggest. A force-get-latest should work if it's a simple case of TFS being confused about what is on your pc.
Are the "folders" in tfs, or in your solution explorer? Folders in the solution explorer typically mirror the real disk structure, but it is possible to get files and folders in a different location in the SE than on disk. This coild mean that the files the solution explorer is referencing are not mapped into your tfs workspace.
I would check the workspace mapping is as simple as possible (no branches or extra unneeded folders etc), close the solution, force-get the latest version of the disk structure from the source control view, and then load the .csproj file in a text editor to check exactly what the project is referencing to be sure that all the files exist and are in sensible places on disk.
I found the problem. I recently added a certain domain group to the TFSProject/Readers TFS group, then explicitly denied access to all rights in those two folders. It seems that although I am in the Contributor TFS group, I'm also a "Reader", so I denied access to myself.
SourceSafe Related Error message I got in Visual Studio 2010 when I tried to edit a file:
File is already checked out by the current user in a different location
Background:
For some reason source safe saved the files 3 directories deep.
For Example, The solution files were located in: VS2010Apps\CCP_Utility\CCP_Utility\CCP_Utility\
The solution files should be in the root directory: VS2010Apps\CCP_Utility
I moved the files to VS2010Apps\CCP_Utility to create this error and now I can't edit my project....
Question:
How can I edit my files again and keep the correct directory structure???
Do I Just delete the source safe files and re-add it to source safe or what?
It sounds like VSS is expecting those files in a particular directory. To solve this:
find and make the path that VSS is expecting; the one with ccp_utility x 3.
check-in (all files) to VSS.
if you don't care about version history at this point, delete the project from VSS.
disconnect/unbind your solution from version control.
make the directory layout on disk as you need.
drag & drop the root folder of your new layout on disk into VSS Explorer. Suggest make it a brand new path (aside your old project) in VSS, to avoid any complications.
you now have a 'new project' as far as VSS is concerned.
ensure your bindings are correct, and you should be able to continue as per normal.
This happened to me when my work machine was replaced and I had forgotten to check in some files on my old machine before the change. My local copy of the file was the one I wanted to work with, but VSS had it marked as checked out on a different machine [my old machine].
I just opened the Source Safe Client, browsed to the affected files and checked them in: the client asks if I wish to proceed using the local file (Yes) - then just reloaded the project in Visual Studio.
