How to move the local workspace of a project bound to TFS
Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2009 6:04 am
Flare 4.2.
I've been working with Flare projects that are bound to Team Foundation Server for some time now, and everything works fine. But now I would like to move the local copy (or workspace or mapped project or whatever you call it ) to another directory on my laptop. I tried different scenarios but everytime something goes wrong somewhere.
Here are the things I tried:
1. In Visual Studio I removed the local workspaces that mapped the project to the local directory
2. In Flare I unbound the project from source control
3. I closed both applications and moved the local files to the new directory
4. I opened the project file from the new location (opened in Flare) --> error message about having no local mappings - unable to open the project properties dialog. Closed Flare again.
5. Opened Visual Studio again and created a workspace manually, mapping the project to the new local directory
6. Reopened Flare and opened Project Properties. That worked now.
7. Project binding information was still there but the project didn't seem to be bound to it (Unbind Project button greyed out)
8. I clicked the "Bind" button and entered the right database. But when I try to select the project's folder in TFS (to link the Database Folder) I get the error message that this folder already exists on TFS and that I should select another parent directory.
Any ideas? Did you already successfully move a project that was bound to TFS? If so, could you tell me how you made it work?
Thanks,
Siska
