I am adding TFS to Visual Studio Code IDE(1.42.0) for that I have installed Azure Repos extension.

In VS code at File-->Preference-->Setting-->Tfvc:Location, when I am entering path C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\tf.exe.

Getting error

(team) Unable to find the TF executable. Please ensure TF is installed and the path specified contains the filename.

How can I solve this issue?

Edit 1: After installing Azure Repos extension, I am entering above path in tfvc:Location(for both tabs User and Workspace), but after entering path nothing happens. Check below screenshot

Edit2: Now I am getting this error at right below in VS code IDE

Since you have not got any help yet. I will take a shot. Any chance there is a issue with finding the executable and casing for the extension? My local TF is capitilized. \TF.exe

Also might want to checkout the Github and readme for TFVC.

Make sure you have installed VS on your computer. With a typical installation of Visual Studio, the Windows version of the TFVC command line client (tf.exe) is available under the Program Files (x86) folder. It will typically be placed in a location similar to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\TF.exe. On the 2017 version of Visual Studio Community, it can be found in a location similar to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\TF.exe.

  • In setting (tfvc:Location) when I am entering ts.exe file path nothing happening. I have VS Enterprise and latest VS code. – R15 Feb 10 '20 at 07:46
  • Do you use VS 2017 Enterprise? Have you checked `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer`? – Cece Dong - MSFT Feb 10 '20 at 07:58
  • Yeah I have VS Enterprize 2017. This is my path I am using `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\tf.exe` – R15 Feb 10 '20 at 08:05
  • Have you checked the path? Is the TF.exe there? – Cece Dong - MSFT Feb 10 '20 at 08:30
  • Yes. TF.exe file is there. – R15 Feb 10 '20 at 08:31
  • Please double check whether you have added the correct entry to the setting "tfvc.location": "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer\tf.exe". – Cece Dong - MSFT Feb 10 '20 at 08:52
  • Have you tried using double slash \\ sometimes vs code doesn't find windows path with just a single \ (ps it's a linux thing). or you can change all the \ for / (single) that works on both linux and windows. Also try the comment from below with TF.exe (capitalized). – Etienne Feb 10 '20 at 13:37
  • @ArvindChourasiya After entering path, it's expected nothing happens. You should be able to use TFVC function now. Do you still get any error? – Cece Dong - MSFT Feb 11 '20 at 06:25
  • @ArvindChourasiya Are you able to use the TFVC function now? – Cece Dong - MSFT Feb 15 '20 at 06:59

  • Did you get the error after input the Location? Did you change your workspace from Server to Local? Can you try to disable the extension and enable again? – Cece Dong - MSFT Mar 16 '20 at 02:14
  • Yes I got error, please check Edit2 in my question. Now I am getting error `(team) It appears you are using a Server workspace. Currently, TFVC support is limited to Local workspaces.` How to change workspace from server to local? – R15 Mar 16 '20 at 06:15
