I have TFS Server 2012 SP1. Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios Service Release 2). TEE 11.0.0.201211191425

I see a complete team menu, I can check-out and check-in files manually. However if I just start editing a file it will not be checked out automatically :( as it did with 2010 before updates.

I have tried to change settings to "Display progress while checking out" and "Prompt before checking out" - no effect.

"Detect changes..." functionality does not work either.

Only if I close the project and then open it again, the modified file will be checked out automatically (only once).

wtf???

UPDATE: The modified file will be checked out automatically also if I manually check-out/check-in another file in the same project.

Problem found

If Visual Studio 2012 is opened on the same PC and connected to the same TFS server, the TEE behaves as described above :(

@Edward Thomson, I think it is a bug. TEE should at least have displayed an error messages.

  • Sounds like a bug, indeed, but I'm having trouble reproducing it. Do the pending changes show in VS when you have both open? If you refresh the pending changes view do they show? – Edward Thomson Dec 12 '12 at 17:02
  • @Edward, It turned out to be even more complex than I initially thought. Yesterday I had the same issue with Visual Studio closed. Unfortunately, now I have to switch to more urgent tasks but I will continue testing TFS2012 maybe next week or already in January. Anyway I'll post here as soon as I have more info. – Dime Dec 13 '12 at 14:36

Not sure about your specific TFS or Visual Studio version, however in VS2010 you have:

File > Source Control > Change Source Control

enter image description here

If your Solution/Project is listed like above with no Server Name, Binding etc., select it and click Bind. That may get things going again
