Intellij TFS plugin and TEE using different workspaces - tfs

I'm attempting to sync Intellij's built in TFS plugin workspace with the one used by TEE's command line 'tf' command on OSX Mountain Lion and failing miserably.
This question appears to be very similar to mine, however it has no reference to what one should do when the computer name reported by each tool is different.
Intellij says my computer name is the fully qualified domain name (ex: hostname.domain.com) whereas the 'tf workspaces' command reports the computer name to be just the the hostname (ex: hostname). Consequently, they are unable to use the same workspace. I do know that you can change the computer name of a workspace, but I'd like to use both at the same time as we have some ant tasks using the 'tf' command locally. Our Windows users in the group are able to do this just fine.
Is there any way to make these tools report the same thing for the computer name? I believe I could then use the 'tf workspaces' command and enable me to use both at the same time in the same workspace. Much obliged.

It's not supported (according to the responsible developer). Please submit a request and we'll see what can be done to make it work.

Team Explorer Everywhere allows you to override your local hostname with the computerName system property. You can edit your tf launcher script to match what IntelliJ is using. You can change the last few lines of the file to be:
exec java -Xmx512M -classpath "$CLC_CLASSPATH" \
-DcomputerName=`hostname -f` \
"-Dcom.microsoft.tfs.jni.native.base-directory=$BASE_DIRECTORY/native" \
$RANDOM_DEVICE_PROPERTY com.microsoft.tfs.client.clc.vc.Main "$#"
If hostname -f does not actually report the same hostname that IntelliJ is determining, of course, you can simply hardcode that instead.

Same VSCode-Settings for the whole crew?

We want to have the same VSCode settings for the whole crew of developers. Also it would be fine to have a oneline command to tear VSCode down and restart it from scratch with predefined settings and plugins so that you do not have to worry about trying out plugins and getting beck to the known state. Kind of Config-as-Code for VSCode.
I already found:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-gallery#_command-line-extension-management
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Shan.code-settings-sync&ssr=false#qna
https://github.com/gantsign/ansible-role-visual-studio-code-extensions
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
https://github.com/gantsign/ansible-role-visual-studio-code
But non of these provides a good solution to me
We are using Mac and Windows machines and develop most of the time locally (not remotely in the cloud or the like).
I imagine like having a script like
.... projectname up
or
.... projectname reset
(or
.... projectname down)
to receive/reset the configured settings and newest plugins that have been configured for the project.
Have any ideas or use a similar solution already?
After doing a lot of research, playing with Docker, Ansible and so on... it seems that although I excluded it at first the plugin Settings Sync Plugin from Shan Khan is the way to go. It has round about 1 million installs!
Only dependency - you need a GitHub account to host your configs. That is what held me back at first - but it should be not that much of a problem to get one for everyone in the team and connect it to like a company-github-account.
Copy the files settings.json and keybindings.json to your target machine(s) to copy the settings. You can find those files here:
Win: ~\AppData\Roaming\Code\User
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/
Linux: ~/.config/Code/User
You can copy extentions from ~/.vscode/extensions or C:\Users\username\.vscode\extensions from linux/mac or windows respectively.
FalcoGer's answer should explain how to copy the files in a way VS Code will pick them up. If you only need to copy the config files once, this solution would be fine.
If you need to "sync" these config files on a regular basis, I would advise to create a Git repository where all config files will be stored.
When cloning the repo to local machines, you can symlink the files to the config destinations (see FalcoGer's anwser). Then when you need to "sync", you only have to run git pull and restart VS Code to apply the changes.
For your other script-related question, you could create a CLI for this. Python would be the most friendly way to do this. You can find an example here.

Bazel internal shell issue using windows

I am trying to migrate a huge project having visual studio and maven projects to bazel. I need to access our in house maven server which is encrypted. To get access I need the load the maven_jar skylark extension since the default impl does not support encryption (get error 401). using the extension leads to a lot of troubles, like:
ERROR: BUILD:4:1: no such package '#org_bouncycastle_bcpkix_jdk15on//jar': Traceback (most recent call last):
File ".../external/bazel_tools/tools/build_defs/repo/maven_rules.bzl", line 280
_maven_artifact_impl(ctx, "jar", _maven_jar_build_file_te...)
File ".../external/bazel_tools/tools/build_defs/repo/maven_rules.bzl", line 248, in _maven_artifact_impl
fail(("%s: Failed to create dirs in e...))
org_bouncycastle_bcpkix_jdk15on: Failed to create dirs in execution root.
The main issue seems to be the shell that needs to be provided to bazel in BAZEL_SH environment variables:
I am working under windows
I am using bazel 0.23.2
bazel seems to run a bash command using "bash" directly and not the one provided by env variable.
I got a ubuntu shell installed in windows. bazel was using everything from ubuntu, especially when using maven (settings.xml was using from ubuntu ~/.m2 and not from windows user)
after uninstalling ubuntu and making sure that bash in a cmd ends up in "command not found" I also removed the BAZEL_SH env var and bazel throws the message above
after setting the BAZEL_SH variable again it fails with the same error message
I am assuming that bazel gets a bash from somewhere or is ignoring the env variable. My questions are:
1. How to setup a correct shell?
2. Is BAZEL_SH needed when using current version?
For me the doc at bazel website about setup is outdated.
Cheers
Please consider using rules_jvm_external to manage your Maven dependencies. It supports both Windows and private repositories using HTTP Basic Authentication.
For me the doc at bazel website about setup is outdated.
The Bazel team is aware of this and will be updating our docs shortly.

Yeoman. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

Reinstalled Windows 10 (Version 10.0.14393). Reinstalled the following:
Java
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)
nodejs (v6.9.5)
NPM (3.10.10)
Yarn (v0.19.1)
Yeoman (installed with yarn global add yo)
When I write yo -v in cmd in any folder, runned with administrator or not, I take:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
UPDATE:
The only workaround I found is to use the full path of yo:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Yarn\config\global\node_modules\.bin\yo.cmd
It may be that your PATH does not point to global NPM modules yet. The FAQ and links are more helpful for gnu/linux or mac users. The PATH is a list of the places that your operating system checks whenever you type a command.
Since you are using Windows, to add the modules path temporarily (just for one session) at the prompt, just type (obviously use the correct path with your correct username and please take note of the ; separator character):
path = %path%;C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Yarn\config\global\node_modules\.bin\
You should then be able to run 'yo -v' without pointing to the full path name, since the console now knows to check that folder also. If that works for you, you can add that path permanently using the instructions described on another SO post here.
Finally (and this is only slightly related to your question), since i notice you've got the Windows 10 anniversary update, if you have Linux experience, you may prefer to use "Windows subsystem for Linux", which is a bash shell (Ubuntu 14) on Windows, that you can use instead of the default command prompt. You can find it under "Add / Remove programs --> Turn Windows features on or off --> (scroll right down) --> Windows subsystem for Linux (beta)". Your local file system will be at "/mnt/c" so you can get to it from within the shell or from windows explorer. I've had fewer problems using this and since so many tutorials are written with bash (not command prompt) in mind, it's useful to use it instead of cmd.
You'll need to install dependencies in the usual way using apt-get (as it won't use the ones you've installed on the windows side) and you'll need to prefix commands that make system changes with 'sudo'. e.g.
sudo npm -g modulename

Setting up Rails project on TeamCity hosted on a Windows server

I'm setting up my first Ruby project on Team City, which is hosted on a Windows Server, but I'm having a problem. Now, because the server may not have the required gems installed, I've added a command line build step:
bundle install
Now I thought this would be enough, but apparently bundle is not recognized as an internal or external command. Except, if I RDP into the server, if I run bundle install from anywhere, it is fine, and just notifies me that no gemfile was found.
Any ideas on if I've missed a step, or I'm going about this the wrong way?
Most likely this is a problem with TeamCity not finding the path to ruby executables.
You can address this by overriding the value to the PATH environment variable in your build configuration in the Build Parameters section.
env.PATH=/path/to/ruby;%env.PATH%
See this answer for the proper links to documentation, etc.
EDIT #1
I noticed when updating one of my configurations that TeamCity is supposed to take care of appending values so you DO NOT need to set path equal to itself. The post mentioned above is a workaround for a bug where TeamCity was overwriting the values, but that has been corrected. See the help at the mouse-over for more information:
EDIT #2
I tested edit #1 and found that is not the case. You do need to
create an environment variable env.Path
and set it's value to itself plus your new path; in my example, C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\;%env.Path%
you do NOT need to say env.Path=... as listed above; that is what the configuration file will look like.
I tested this out by doing the following:
Created a new project with no repository
Added a command line build step to `echo %env.Path%
Added a command step to call MySql mysql --help This will fail if it cannot find MySql
I then ran it for each of the following settings for the env.Path variable:
Not added / changed; TeamCity reports out the environment variable for the build agent as is.
Added as just C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\. TeamCity reports out only that entry.
Added as C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\;%env.Path%. TeamCity prepends C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\ to the build agent's values shown in #1. The result is what we want, #1 + #2

Windows x64 RabbitMQ install error with Erlang environment var (ERLANG_HOME)

I'm ask/answering this question because it hung me up & it's likely someone else will have the same problem.
Install of RabbitMQ x64 v2.8.6 on Windows Server 2008 x64.
After Erlang install using default install location to C:\Program Files\erl5.9.2, I'm attempting to start the server via running the rabbitmq-service.bat. Fail:
Please either set ERLANG_HOME to point to your Erlang installation
or place the RabbitMQ server distribution in the Erlang lib folder.
Problem is the .bat file does not have the correct subpath. with 5.9.2 (R15B02) version of erlang. My ERLANG_HOME directory is set correctly, but the script does not use it correctly for this version of Erlang, which, it appears to this Erlang noob to have a new subdirectory called "erts-5.9.2" which is causing the problems. Maybe someone intimate with these scripts can describe how to make this work correctly without the hack workaround I'm about to describe?
1- Set environment variable:
Variable name : ERLANG_HOME
Variable value: C:\Program Files (x86)\erl6.4
note: don't include bin on above step.
2- Add %ERLANG_HOME%\bin to the PATH environmental variable:
Variable name : PATH
Variable value: %ERLANG_HOME%\bin
This works well.
There are several RabbitMQ control .bat files on windows. Every one you use needs to get changed to reflect the Erlang path correctly. In this example, I'm editing the rabbitmq-server.bat because it's one of the easier ones... any of the .bat files you want to run will need this hack to get them to work, with the rabbitmq_service.bat file being the most involved to adjust.
editing that rabbitmq_server.bat file, you can see on about line 48 or so there's a check to see if the erl.exe is found, but the path isn't correct:
if not exist "!ERLANG_HOME!\bin\erl.exe" (
that path does not match the file structure for the 5.9.2 version of Erlang. I fixed this by simply removing this path check from about line 48 to 58, then, where the .bat actually makes a call to the erl.exe on about line 129 which reads:
"!ERLANG_HOME!\bin\erl.exe"
I simply hardcoded the path to my erl.exe:
"C:\Program Files\erl5.9.2\erts-5.9.2\bin\erl.exe"
With the pathing correct, the rabbitmq .bat files will run.
I had the similar issue, modifying ERLANG_HOME in .bat files did not work. Then I tried echo %ERLANG_HOME% in command prompt, that did not print the environment variable value(I could see that ERLANG_HOME environment variable has been created under advance system settings), that lead me to believe that I need to restart server for 64 bit installation of Erlang. After rebooting server, It worked like a charm. I hope this helps someone.
Just to share an up-to-date answer as of 2019: On Windows Server 2019, after setting up the environment variable, a restart is required to solve the problem.
I got into same kind of problem.
I solved it by doing three changes as given below.
Update Path variable "ERLANG_HOME" : "C:\Program Files\erl8.0" in Environment Variables.
Upadte "Path" variable "Path" : ";%ERLANG_HOME%\bin;"
Give urself FULL CONTROL permissions over "Program Files" in C drive.
It worked for me in this way.
This problem still occurs in Erlang 18.3 (erl7.3) and RabbitMQ 3.6.9 on Windows when upgrading from any older version of RabbitMQ to version 3.6.9. The solution as already stated here is to manually set ERLANG_HOME with 'setx -m ERLANG_HOME "C:\Program Files\erl7.3"' before starting the service.
What happens is that the RabbitMQ 3.6.9 installer removes the environment variable ERLANG_HOME from the system while removing the older version of RabbitMQ. Then, when it proceeds to the installation step, it does not put back the ERLANG_HOME variable. Then, the batch files that start up RabbitMQ cannot find Erlang. They try to find Erlang's home directory using "where.exe" but it always fails after an upgrade.
RabbitMQ's installer also does not kill all of the Erlang background processes, causing many of its files to be undeletable due to the Windows "file in use" problem. This leaves behind "files in use" in %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ and "C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ." These processes are "erl.exe," "erlsrv.exe," and "epmd.exe." The RabbitMQ installer should taskkill these processes after shutting down the RabbitMQ Windows service.
RabbitMQ is rather clunky on Windows.
Download Erlang or OTP - Only one Version of OTP should be installed
Download RabbitMQ installer
Install both exe file as Administrator
Set class path for Erlang. (Setting classpath is a bit troublesome, so follow these steps)
Set a new path with name ERLANG_HOME and value C:\Program Files\erl-23.1 (do not copy bin folder here)
Edit System "path" and add %ERLANG_HOME%\bin
Go to Start - Open rabbitmq command promt and run
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
Navigate to localhost:15672
Use guest/guest to login
Interesting that this worked for you. There is record of a two bugs in Erl5.9.2 that cause an incomplete installation where %ERLANG_HOME%\bin is not installed.
Either of
* Installed 64bit erlang on 32bit machine
* "The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer."
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/erlang-programming/wGtFLzapiQ0/discussion
Try 5.9.1 or any other version. They also mention making the future versions of the installer alert you if it fails.
I just had the same problem mentioned here. I installed otp_win64_R15B02 on a Windows 7 machine and everything worked perfectly, but I used the same installer on a Windows 2008 server and the bin directory was not created. I then uninstalled otp_win64_R15B02 and downloaded the otp_win64_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix and the bin directory was created.
I suspect the reason it worked on my Windows 7 system is that I have Visual Studio installed and the required libraries were already available which allowed the otp_win64_R15B02 installer to work correctly.
Oh, and if you're installing Erlang to run RabbitMQ the RabbitMQ install will succeed with the broken installer but installing otp_win64_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix after RabbitMQ will not work, just un-install and re-install RabbitMQ to resolve this.
Just give C:\Program Files\erl10.6\ not C:\Program Files\erl10.6\bin\erl.exe in the environment variable. If you open the server.bat file I came to know the issueenter image description here
I think this is encoding issue on windows.I see a correct value but I write echo %ERLANG_HOME% on console the value come with question mark. These steps fix it.
1.go environment variable window
2.edit ERLANG_HOME item
3.copy the value, open notepad and paste there
4.copy again on notepad and paste to edit window
5.apply and exit window
6.close command line tools and reopen
7.run rabbitmq bat file.
I solved it in a quick and dirty way,without naming path variables
I've opened the bat file and replaced every occurrence of
!ERLANG_HOME!\bin\erl.exe
with hard coded path for example might be diffrent path for you because of diffrent version
C:\Program Files\erl10.3\erts-10.3\bin\erl.exe
and replaced
%RABBITMQ_HOME%\escript\rabbitmq-plugins
with
C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.7.14\escript\rabbitmq-plugins
Even I was this problem. The issue was the environment variable ERLANG_HOME=c:\Program Files\erl9.0 which was never existed.
I cross checked the path. The correct path was c:\Program Files\erl9.3.
After correcting the
ERLANG_HOME=c:\Program Files\erl9.3
the problem solved. So, definitely it is a path issue.
In my case, it should be installed erlang using admin role running
If above solutions doesn't work for you then you can try following
Find another compatible version of erlang for your rabbit mq e.g. for rabbit 3.7.x erlang version 20.3.x to 22.0.x all are compatible .
Right click newly downloaded erlang version and from properties select the option to unblock the file .
Run the erlang with admin persssion .
Re run rabbit mq exe
