Came across a small issue. Working with TFS VS 2012. The issue relates to seeing Check-out. Basically, if someone from my team check-out a file from TFS, I am able to see that they've checked it out -- under Pending Change , and USER However, If I check something out, they aren't able to see it.

Does anyone have any idea what could be the issue?

  • Where are they looking to see it? Source control explorer is the reliable place, but the glyphs next to file names in the Solution Explorer have always seemed less reliable. – StingyJack Nov 01 '16 at 17:30
  • @StingyJack in the window under LOCAL PATH. – BobSki Nov 01 '16 at 17:34
  • Are your workspaces Local or Server? http://stackoverflow.com/q/12621607/16391 – StingyJack Nov 01 '16 at 17:36
  • @StingyJack - LOCAL - please see Image in question, that's where it show it correctly on my machine vs my coworkers. It doesnt show it to them when I have stuff checked out – BobSki Nov 01 '16 at 17:37
  • If you are using a Local workspace (not the same as "LOCAL PATH"), then only your workspace knows about the changes. – StingyJack Nov 01 '16 at 17:40
  • @StingyJack - yeah it seems like this is the issue, but I still wonder why i can see if someone else has checked out a file – BobSki Nov 01 '16 at 17:41
  • Because they are using a Server workspace. – StingyJack Nov 01 '16 at 18:19

@StingyJack is correct. Pending changes of team members who use local workspaces are not visible to other team members in Source Control Explorer. It seems you are using local workspace, while other team members are using server workspace.

You can read more about Local Workspace and Server Workspace at website below: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/tfvc/decide-between-using-local-server-workspace
