I was setting up a new build definition today and noticed there is an option 'Copy build output to the following Source Control folder'. I don't believe I have seen this before. It appears to me from searching google that it might be new as of TFS 11 (AKA TFS 2012) which I do not have installed on my system (or any system in my company network to my knowledge). My company uses TFS 2010 right now.

I went to another user who is able to view build definitions and it also was present when the build definitions were viewed.

This is what i see:

My questions:

1) Was this a part of TFS 2010 and I am just not remembering seeing it?

2) If this IS part of TFS 2010, how to enable this option (it is disabled).

3) If this is NOT a part of TFS 2010, how did it get there?

  1. Yes, it is part of TFS 2010, but I have no idea how it got here!

  2. I believe this is for those who use TFS 'as a service' (when you have no file share to copy it to). According to how-can-i-copy-build-output-to-the-source-control-folder

  3. I have this in TFS/VS 2010 (SP1):

  • Let me get back to you on which version. I see it NOT available in 2010, however I do see it on one of my 2010 SP1 machines. I am applying VS updates to see if it then appears – JohnZaj Jan 15 '14 at 23:56
  • That is what I am wondering. Everywhere I look I see it says TFS 11 which I believe is TFS 2012. I'm puzzled. – Mike Cheel Jan 16 '14 at 04:51
  • The machine where I see it, I have 2010, 2012, and 2013 installed. Where I do NOT see it (where I have just 2010), installing SP1 does not make the option available. Why? WHY? – JohnZaj Jan 16 '14 at 13:25
  • Was it available before sp1? – Mike Cheel Jan 16 '14 at 13:55
