I am trying to merge a branch continuously ( every 5 minute) using Jenkins. I am using Visual Studio, and so using the TFS tf command merge, i do this

tf merge $/ServerFolderA  $/ServerFolderB / recursive

I also tried to add, checkout, checkin from the locals to the servers, but it did not work either:

cd "C:\Users\vXXX\Desktop\ServerB" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\TF.exe" get "$/ServerA"


cd "C:\Users\vXXX\Desktop\ServerB" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\TF.exe" checkout"$/ServerA"


cd "C:\Users\vXXX\Desktop\ServerB" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\TF.exe" checkin"$/ServerA"

However, it does not work, i get the following error for the first example:

'tf' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I also get a similar error for the second one.

thanks for your help

sounds like 1) tf isn't installed on the CI slave where your job is running (check where your job is running and jump onto that machine to check) or 2) it's not in the PATH (try specifying the full path to tf to check this). – burnettk Apr 19 '17 at 11:35
Did you install VS 2015 on your Jenkins sever? – Tingting0929 Apr 20 '17 at 03:17
yes it is installed – uniXVanXcel Apr 20 '17 at 10:33
Can you see "tf.exe" in the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\" on Jenkins server? – Eddie Chen - MSFT Apr 24 '17 at 08:09
yes i can as well – uniXVanXcel Apr 24 '17 at 14:03
