Recently we have upgraded our TFS server to the latest 2019 version.
As the Admin, I was trying to install the downloaded Test Manager extension just like we did in TFS2017 and TFS2018.
However, I was unable to install it even with full access and TFS test plan subscription.
This extension does not support the version of the Server you are
currently using. See Works With for supported Server versions.
What should I do, am I missing something? Why it not work with TFS2019? Appreciate your help.
This is the expected behavior when you try to install the extension in Azure DevOps Server 2019. You do not need to install extra Test Manger for Azure DevOps Server 2019.
The official link is also clearly: This extension does not support the version of the Server you are currently using. See Works With for supported Server versions.
It only work Works with
Team Foundation Server 2017
Team Foundation Server 2018
Note:
Manual testers do not need this extension and can execute tests as a
Basic user in an Azure DevOps organization/collection. Read more on
this here.
This extension is available out-of-the-box in Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server (2019 onwards) and hence doesn't need to be acquired for them.
We strongly recommend you to use Azure Test Plans or the Test hub in Azure DevOps Service/Server (a fully featured Test management solution) over Microsoft Test Manager for all your test management requirements. There will be no new versions of Microsoft Test Manager.Microsoft Test Manager 2017 (which shipped with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017) is the last version.
More details please take a look at our official tutorial here.
Besides, to use Azure Test Plans in Azure DevOps service you need some License requirements
Azure Test Plans uses an access level called Basic + Test Plans, which is available from Azure DevOps.
For the Manual testing permissions and access suggest refer this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/test/manual-test-permissions?view=azure-devops#license-requirements
Hope this helps.
As mentiond in the Extension page:
This extension is available out-of-the-box in Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server (2019 onwards) and hence doesn't need to be acquired for them.
So you don't to install it, it's exist :) just go to the "Test Pans" tab in the left menu (maybe you need give permissions in the settings).

I want to migrate form TFS 2010 to Azure DevOps online and was following Azure DevOps Migration Guide.pdf and running into issues when trying to validate my project collection.
On the other hand I had to see other MSFT documentation and it tells a different path:
Where as Azure DevOps Migration Guide says:
What is the best way to migrate from TFS 2010 to Azure DevOps online ?
Look closely. One document is more recent than the other. The first screenshot shows Azure DevOps Server 2020 as the end point. The other shows TFS 2018.
You need to upgrade to the most recent version of Azure DevOps Server in order to migrate to Azure DevOps cloud. The "best way" is always to follow the most recent official documentation.
If you're looking for help with performing the migration, you need to ask a new question that asks a specific question about the issue you're encountering.
We recommend that you use data migration tool to migrate data from Azure DevOps Server to Azure DevOps Services.
The data migration tool for Azure DevOps supports the two latest releases of Azure DevOps Server at a given time. Releases include updates and major releases. Currently the following versions of Azure DevOps Server are supported for import:
Azure DevOps Server 2019.1.1
Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1
Please update your TFS version and then Migrate your server to Azure DevOps
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.
Walkthrough of the Team Services extension for Visual Studio
Code - This is a walkthrough of most of the features of the Team
Services extension.
TFVC Source Code Control for Visual Studio Code - This video shows
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 installed the Team Foundation server 2017 on my PC. But unable to add another member to a team.
Should I install the Team foundation server on server computer?
TFS can be installed both on a Windows server or client operating system. Note: TFS 2017 only supports 64-bit operating systems.
While TFS supports installation on client OSes, we don't recommend
this except for evaluation purposes or personal use. TFS installations
on client OSes don't support integration with SharePoint products or
reporting. The TFS proxy can't be installed on client OSes. If you
need to use any of these features, install TFS on a server OS.
More details please refer the Requirements and compatibility doc.
To add another member to a team, for TFS, the first time you add an account you must enter the full domain name and the alias. Take a look at this tutorial: Add team members.
My system is an on-premises setup for TFS 2015 and I am trying to get Release Management working with my Jenkins continuous integration system. I have recently added the ""Visual Studio Team Services Continuous Deployment" plugin to Jenkins. After finding out that I need to have Basic Authentication enabled on my TFS server to avoid a 401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. error I am getting to the next error: NullPointerException.
I have looked through the code for the vsts-cd-plugin to see that there is an explicit reference to this API call that I don't believe is in TFS 2015 Update 3...
"/_apis/release/releases?api-version=3.0-preview.2"
Has anyone been successful in using the vsts-cd-plugin with Jenkins and an on-premises TFS 2015 setup? Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this problem to create a TFS Release from Jenkins?
The API version 3.0-preview.2 is for Visual Studio Team Services, it is not included in On-premise TFS. In On-premise TFS, you need to use 2.2-preview.1.
api-version = 3.0-preview.1
Using on-premises: An earlier, and slightly different, version of this
Release Management API is available in Team Foundation Server 2015
Update 2. To use, you must specify an API version of 2.2-preview.1.
New release references a release definition to deploy an application
comprising of one/
You can try to download the source code of the plugin and update the API version and then build it on your local machine and install it in Jenkins.
Can we use TFS as Source Code Repository for Salesforce? If yes then is there any TFS/Salesforce API which can be used to fetch the latest code from Salesforce Dev Org?
You can store your code in any SCM system. Salesforce orgs also have meta-data that affect configuration and this must be exported, usually via an SFDC plug-in to an IDE like eclipse. Deploying code to SFDC must be through their interfaces and requires test code. This could all be scripted in .NET / PS via SFDC API, but that is beyond the scope of a post like this IMO.
Yes. You can fetch the code from Project collection and deploy into Sandbox.
However, the command line fetch from TFS is still evolving and in TFS 2013 , there are some new changes.
AutoRABIT - a release management suite for Salesforce Applications has support for deployments from Team Foundation Server [ TFS 2013 ] - Salesforce Sandbox or auto-commit from Sandbox to TFS .
