I am trying to connect latest version (2019.3.4) of Rider to TFS (on premise, TFS 2010).
I went through the steps in their community support (https://rider-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000335099-How-to-use-Visual-Studio-s-TFV%D0%A1-local-workspace-in-Rider), and got stuck on the step #6.
Go to VCS -> TFVS -> Manage Workspaces, select your server, and press "Reload workspaces"
I am getting the following error when clicking reload:
If I try to click 'Edit' button, I get a different error:
When I try to view file history, I get this warning
13:50 Problems while loading file history: HTTP 401 Unauthorized
Rider never asked me to authenticate with my VCS (and I see no way of doing that).
What should I do to make it work?
Thanks
The documentation you refer to is using Visual Studio's TFVС local workspace, while TFS 2010 only supports Server workspace. Local & server workspace:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/tfvc/decide-between-using-local-server-workspace?view=azure-devops
Azure DevOps plugin supports working with Git and TFVC repositories on Azure DevOps Services or Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2015+, and support Local workspace only.
So, the answer by Cece is helpful, but does not solve the problem.
It simply turned out that I need a different plugin to Rider.
The one installed by default in recent releases is for Azure DevOps.
There is another one, called TFS - and that's the one to use.

I'm using Git with WebStorm's version control already, but have to use TFS version control. After some research fond this plugin but there is no tutorial that aiming to configure that plugin.
Can anyone guide me?
You can opt for using git tfs, locally you can still use Git and all of the advantages you're used to. And then push from git to TFVC. You'll need to install Team Explorer or the Team Explorer Cross Platform Commandline Tools.
Or you can use the native plugin for, thelatest version of the TFS / Azure DevOps (Server) plugin can be found on the Jetbrains site. It requires TFS 2015 or newer. You can use the plugin you found for older versions of TFS.
A good explanation to get started can be found here. The part to configure TFVC is replicated below.
Visual Studio Team Services plugin and TFVC
Before starting with TFVC, we need an external tool. The tool in question is TF command line tool. It ships with the Microsoft Team Explorer Everywhere 2015 and you can download it here.
The file we are interested in is TEE-CLC-14.0.3.zip. Download it and unzip it in a folder of your choice. You should end up with something similar to this.
Now, open the command prompt, move into the folder where you have extracted the TF command line tool and run the following:
tf eula /accept
If command succeeded and you haven’t received any error, you are good to go.
Now back to IDEA. Open the settings panel.
and move to Version Control -> TFVC pane. In the select path to executable field, enter the exact path to the tf.cmd command file located in TF command line tool folder.
Once done, press the test button and you should see the following message
Confirm all of the open windows and get back to the IDEA welcome page. Now you are ready to choose Team Services TFVC (Preview) version control.
At this point, same as for Git, you will be prompted about the connection towards your TFS. The following dialog will be shown.
Move to the Team Foundation Server tab and specify the address of your TFS server, then click connect. You will now be prompted for the credentials and if everything is ok, you will be shown the list of available TFVC repositories.
You can now create a new workspace directly from IDEA and start working with your TFVC repositories.
How can I connect to on-premises TFS using Visual Studio Code? Is that possible the same way as in Visual Studio?
If you need to use Git, all you need is Visual Studio Code. Git is a built-in feature.
In order to also use TFVC you'll need to install an extension. You'll need Visual Studio Code and the Azure Repos Extension and a recent version of Team explorer and/or Team Explorer Command Line Client.
To edit Azure Pipelines (available in Azure DevOps Server 2019), you'll need to also install this Azure Pipelines extension.
The naming is a bit confusing, but these Azure DevOps extension also work with recent version of Team Foundation Server and Azure DevOps Server (new name).
First you need to install the official Azure DevOps Extension for Visual Studio Code which released by Microsoft.
It supports both TFVC and GIT version control type.
Clone your Git repository
With Git, the extension uses the remote origin of your repository to
determine how to connect to Team Services (or your Team Foundation
Server), in most cases you will need to have a Git repository already
cloned locally. If you intend on cloning an existing repository, do so
before proceeding. If you do not have a Git repository cloned locally
but already have a Team Services account (or a Team Foundation Server
instance), you may create a local repository (via git init) and once
you set the "origin" remote for that local repository, the extension
will detect the change to the remote and attempt to contact the Team
Services account (or Team Foundation Server).
Create your TFVC workspace
With TFVC, the extension uses information about the current workspace
to determine how to connect to Team Services (or your Team Foundation
Server). Workspaces can be created using the Visual Studio IDE,
Eclipse or with the JetBrains IDEs (e.g, Android Studio, IntelliJ).
Note: At this time, you will need to have a local TFVC workspace already available on your local machine. More information about the
difference between the two types (and how to determine which one
you're using) can be found here.
You could also take a look at below videos to help get you started using the extension quickly:
Set up the Team Services extension for Visual Studio Code - If
you haven't used the extension before, this video will show you how
to set it up, create a personal access token and get up and running.

Code - This is a walkthrough of most of the features of the Team
Services extension.

you how to set up the TFVC support on Windows and demonstrates much
of the functionality available for Team Foundation Version Control.
Above is for Windows machine, if you are working on Mac, please take a look at this answer.
Note:
VS Code will leverage your machine's Git installation, so you need to install Git first before you get these features. Make sure you install at least version 2.0.0.
You need Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 2 or later.
I am very new to Jenkins and sort of new to build .net application, but the guy left team so I have been assigned to do this. I have read tons of articles online about setting up Jenkins master, but little about slave configuration. The guy created a new slave and connect with Jenkins master successfully before he left. And he told me that slave is responsible for 1) downloading source code from TFS server and 2) building them.
now my issue is what do I need to install in the slave machine( windows system) to be able to perform that two tasks?
1) for downloading source code, do I need to install TFS client on slave ?
2) for building source code, do I need to install MSbuild or entire Visual studio ?
Thank you very much !
Assuming you installed a recent version of the Team Foundation Server Plugin, then no TFS Client is required (see https://github.com/jenkinsci/tfs-plugin#400-and-later-new).
Depending on what you are building, installing Visual Studio maybe required or not. In my experience, only a limited set of project types build with just MSBuild and without Visual Studio. There are hacks or supported tips but they work only in specific cases: YMMV.
The new Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 RC are making this requirement a thing of the past: if you can migrate your code to Visual Studio 2017 you will be able to use them.
I've installed the prerequisite (Team Explorer 2013) to the best of my knowledge, but when I try to set up a VCS root to connect to our TFS Version Control server, I continue to get this error message:
"No TFS assemblies were found on the system. Please make sure you have
Microsoft Team Explorer installed. Supported versions: 2015 2013 2012
2010 2008 2005"
The Team Explorer I downloaded from Microsoft just seemed to be a plugin for Visual Studio, which doesn't make much sense as a server-side component. Anyway, I configured a connection to our TFS box within Team Explorer/Visual Studio on my TeamCity server.
So I have two questions that seem to be undocumented by JetBrains:
What does it mean to set up and configure Team Explorer? How can I validate that I have set up and configured Team Explorer on my TeamCity server correctly?
How does TeamCity know how to find the Team Explorer assemblies? Is there some sort of configuration I am supposed to do? Where is this documented?
I guess I'm looking for a true step-by-step set of instructions that make no assumptions about my understanding of TFS or Team Explorer, or any assumptions about what I may have already installed on my TeamCity box.
I've read the two articles on the JetBrains site regarding how to set this up, and they don't cover actually installing and configuring the prerequisites or configuring TeamCity to discover the Team Explorer assemblies it needs.
Team Explorer is the client software that you use to access Visual Studio Team Foundation Server functionality from Visual Studio. You can simply launch Team Explorer on your TeamCity server to create a team project and check in a project, to validate whether it is installed correctly.
I couldn't find any documentation that mentioned how does TeamCity find Team Explorer assemblies. But, based on my understanding, there is no configuration needed to detect Team Explorer. Please make sure your TeamCity server is running under Windows.
If the issue that can't find Team Explorer persists, you can install VS Premium instead of Team Explorer.
Setting up Jetbrains TeamCity for CI with Team Foundation Server:
Install Jetbrains TeamCity
If you are planning on using IIS or TFS on the same server, configure Jetbrains TeamCity to run on a port other than 80 or 8080
Once TeamCity is up and running, you can begin configuring your TeamCity installation for CI Builds.
Log into TeamCity with your user name and password
Create a new TeamCity Project
Create a new build configuration
You will now see a series of build configuration settings that you will have to complete presented in a Wizard-style navigation view.
Enter General Settings
Enter VCS Settings
After entering VCS Settings, Create and attach new VCS Root
Enter the relevant information for your TFS instance
Create a Build Step using Visual Studio as your build runner. You can create as many build steps as you need and specify the order of the steps (similar to a TFS Build Workflow).
For setting up Continuous Integration builds, you will need to specify a Build Trigger. CI Builds will generally use a VCS Trigger that is triggered on each source control check-in.
If you need to pass any parameters to your build, you can configure these in your Build Parameters.
That is all! You can then either run your Builds manually by clicking on the Run button in TeamCity or simply verify that your builds are triggered by the next check-in into TFS.
When attempting to create a new TFS Team Project from VS2012 I received the following error after pressing finish.
TF30279: Plug-in with ID "Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Build" of type "Project Creation Plugins" could not be loaded
TFS and VS were both installed on a Windows 7 laptop for evaluation. When setting up TFS I configured the build server without error.
In attempting to get round the problem I uninstalled all 2012 components VS, TFS and Sql Server, then reinstalled them. I tried both TFS express and VS2012 for web express and full TFS trial and VS2012 premium trial (to rule out that it wasn't an issue with the express versions)
Each time the error would persist across re-installs.
Although I could not find why the problem has occurred I did eventually manage to fix the issue after reading up on process templates and understanding where the plugin models were sourced from.
1) I opened VS2012 command prompt and ran as admin
2) changed dir to %programfiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer
3) ran gacutil /i for each dll in the folder that looked like it was anything to do with build.
