TEE CLC 11: 'tf get' does not work with absolute serverpath

Question

Hi there,

when trying to fetch a file from my TFS with the command 'tf get $/UnitTests/file.txt' the following error occurs:

"An argument error occurred: The workspace could not be determined from any argument paths or the current working directory."

The command was executed in the folder "c:\myworkspace".

I created a workspace and mapped the server folder to an local folder with this commands:

tf workspace /new /collection:[CollectionURL] MYWORKSPACE
tf workfold /map $/UnitTests c:\myworkspace

I'm currently using TFS2012 and Team Explorer Everywhere (version 11.0.0.201212121117).

Is there a way to make the new TEE CLC determine the workspace? (I also tried this with the TEE-CLC-10.0.0.201003261741 and it worked)

The mapping of my workspace should be OK, because calling 'tf get' in "c:\myworkspace" does work without any errors!

Thanks for help!

Hi John,

I was able to reproduce that issue, thanks for reporting it. I  filed a bug to track it. Currently, the workaround would be either to run tf get and use the workspace option or use a local path.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Please let me know if you have any other issues/questions.

Thanks

Thank you for your quick reply.

Is there a way to set the workspace option?

When i call 'tf get /workspace:MYWORKSPACE' i get this response:

"An argument error occurred: The workspace option is not valid for the get command."

Hi,

I am so sorry I forgot about that the get command does not take the workspace option. In this case, the only work around remaining is to use a local path. We have a high priority bug to track this issue and w'll try to get it fixed soon.

Thanks
