I'm trying to add the following folder tree to TFS:

C:\TFS\folder1
C:\TFS\folder1\folder2
C:\TFS\folder1\folder2\folder3
C:\TFS\folder1\folder2\folder3\test.txt

In the above example the folder "C:\TFS" is a mapped TFS working folder. I issue the following commands from the console:

cd C:\TFS
tf add folder1 /recursive

After this command has finished my repository contains the following tree (as pending changes):

$/folder1
$/folder1/folder2

As you can see "folder3" and the text file "test.txt" below are completely missing! Why?

Update: I've submitted this as a bug to Microsoft:

from microsoft the basic command goes as follows:

tf add itemspec [/lock:(none|checkin|checkout)] [/type:filetype] 
[/noprompt] [/recursive] [/login:username,[password]]

I typed in the following command and it worked fine:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\tf.exe" add itemspec /r "where to add to"

you run the command from the folder you want to copy files and in the command under "where to add to" you type the destination

  • Well, it doesn't for me! Did you set your working directory to "C:\Temp"? No matter what I try, tf.exe only adds two levels. – LeonZandman Mar 18 '09 at 13:43
  • I think so -if you look above I did a "cd test". Temp is in the workspace. Also like I said I've tried it from Temp directory too. The same results. Just a thought I'm use TFS 2008 with VS2008 + Team Explorer 2008 SP1. – Preet Sangha Mar 18 '09 at 20:29
  • I used Team Explorer 2005 and 2008 (both latest service pack I think, although I will check that). I'm not sure about the TFS version, but I'll check that too. – LeonZandman Mar 18 '09 at 22:28
