I'm not sure that TFS-aggregator will work in Tfs2018.Update1.RC1

But as per the below image, it should work(I hope)

enter image description here

I'm trying to do some POC by creating a rule using TFS aggregator

All works fine when I tested my rules using TFSAggregator2.ConsoleApp.exe

Now I want to deploy this rule to my original TFS (which will automatically trigger for every save on the WIT)

I've followed the instruction from here

As per that the Step 5 is,

  1. Copy TFSAggregator2.ServerPlugin.dll, TFSAggregator2.Core.dll and TFSAggregator2.ServerPlugin.policies to the plugin location on the Application Tier of your TFS Servers:

The plugin folder is usually at this path for TFS 2017: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 15.0\Application Tier\Web Services\bin\Plugins; You must copy the exact same files on all TFS Application Tier servers. TFS detects automatically that a file was copied in and will load it in.

You can verify if assembly version matches TFS version using this Powershell code

My Problem

I couldn't able to find the TFSAggregator2.ServerPlugin.dll, TFSAggregator2.Core.dll in my current directory which looks like this

enter image description here

The two dlls were already in the destination folder!

enter image description here

So I just copy and paste my TFSAggregator2.ServerPlugin.policies from C:\Program Files\TFS Aggregator\samples to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2018\Application Tier\Web Services\bin\Plugins

I thought this will work but it's not working

Solutions so far which I tried

Restarted the tfsjobagent net stop tfsjobagent , net start tfsjobagent

  • `RC1`? Update 3 is out... In theory it should work, but I'm not entirely sure. The installer will detect the right server version, if supported, and drop the files, so it looks like it should work. – jessehouwing Sep 04 '18 at 07:20
  • Have you checked the debugging tips in the aggregator docs? Did you set the correct permissions for the tfs service user? – jessehouwing Sep 04 '18 at 07:21

  • @jessehouwing Thanks.. waiting for your response! yes as per the troubleshooting guide. I've added the local service account to my project collection administrator. Still not working – Jayendran Sep 04 '18 at 07:41
  • Just copy and pasting the `TFSAggregator2.ServerPlugin.policies` to the pluging location is enough to deployment ? – Jayendran Sep 04 '18 at 07:42
  • That should do it. – jessehouwing Sep 04 '18 at 07:48
  • @jessehouwing I couldn't able to find any event logs (Event viewer) related to TFSAggregator! which makes me difficult to find the root cause. Do you have any idea to troubleshoot it ? – Jayendran Sep 04 '18 at 07:52
  • Did you tweak the logging? https://tfsaggregator.github.io/admin/logging/ – jessehouwing Sep 04 '18 at 08:44
