we use TFS as source control system.
When we check in, we provide a comment and relate to a work item.
We use TeamCity for automated builds.
Teamcity nicely shows us the ceck-in comments, but the test manager would like to see the Work Items related to the check-ins in the TeamCity build information.
Is this possible? How?
Kind regards,
Ugly Papa Ramone
There is a plugin avaialable from jet brains to do this.

I am trying to create a build in Jenkins, from certain changesets made in TFS.
I want to be able to decide which changesets should go in the build and which should be excluded.
I saw an earlier question How do you build from a specific TFS 2008 Changeset in Jenkins? which provided the answer using labels. Haven't tried it yet. But the question is 3 yrs old and I wanted to know if anyone has found an answer.
Any help would be appreciated. If it is not possible in Jenkins, please suggest any other tool that provides such functionality.
Atlassian Bamboo with TFS Repository Plugin
provides a solution for you :)

BTW I've been looking around the tfs-plugin and although the docs doesn't mention "specific checkout by changeSet" I think there is a good chance that setting the VERSION_SPEC variable to change-set value, might do the trick for you.
I am working on a TFS Implementation where the original Project that was created has a cpace in the name. This is causing issue in our builds since we need to kick off a batch file for the Deploy process and the space in the name creates some issues with the path name of the build folder. With this, I want to create a new project without the space. As you can imagine, I would like to keep the revision history of the Source Code if possible.
I have looked at this StackOverflow
Team Foundation Server - Moving Source with History
But I am a bit confused about what I would need to do. Is there someone out there that can point me to a document that is more friendly to someone who doesn't have a lot of TFS experience.
We've been faced with a similar task and we've used the TFS Integration Platform which might be of use to you.
Here's a couple of good blog posts on how to use it:
TFS Integration Tools - Part 1
TFS Integration Tools - Part 2
I'd like to know if it's possible (and how, if anyone has ever done it before) to have Mantis Bug Tracker "tickets" automatically imported/transformed into TFS work items.
We use mantis to keep track of development and TFS as a Repo. Every check-in made to TFS must be associated with one work item. Right now, these two systems are not integrated which causes, for example, that the ticket 100 is relative to the work item 497 without no way of knowing that one is relative to the other.
I've looked at TFS Integration Tools but was unable to install it for some reason at this time.
So, how can I have an automation process that "imports" Mantis tickets into TFS work items automatically? Is this even possible?
There is a plugin for source integration which supports Git, SVN and Mercurial (experimental).
https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/source-integration
I am not aware that there is something similar avalaible for TFS, but it should be no big problem to implement TFS integration based on the framework which is offered by the plugin.
After using SVN as a VCS (we're a small dev team), we found it too hard to work with, and we switched to perforce in April. We're really happy with it, and we want to take it one step further by adding a Continuous Integration Server so that our builds are more reliable.
We have a MSDN licence allowing us to have TFS if we want (as a CI server), but we don't want to change what's already in place.
BUT, TFS has no native interactions with perforce, and vice versa.
So my question is, does anyone know if it's actually possible?
I googled a bit, I found an answer posted in 2009 (using perforce with team foundation server) saying it's not. But maybe it has changed since then...I didn't find any plugin or anything else to help me, and I need your help here.
Thanks.
I don't think there is any direct way to migrate Perforce to TFS.
However if you have got MSDN subscription, you could evaluate TFS for ALM/Build/Deployment.
I manage to use bddlib(storyq) with combination of xunit.net using resharper runner. Than decided to try to specflow, since have read its advantages over storyq.
Now I do have also another requirement to integrate this all with tfs build 2010. Am bit lost there how the big picture gonna look like. I found some articles on how to make work xunit.net with tfsbuild 2010, however there is no single word on bdd lib integration with tfsbuild more specifically continuous integration (ci).
Anyone could have helped ? thanks.
If you can run it from the command-line you can simply customize your TFS Build workflow by tossing an InvokeProcess activity in there. An example of customizing the workflow can be seen here: http://www.ewaldhofman.nl/post/2010/04/28/Customize-Team-Build-2010-e28093-Part-3-Use-more-complex-arguments.aspx
