This article lists the fixed bugs and known issues for the Team Foundation Server 2015 Community Technology Preview (CTP).

Team Foundation Server 2015 CTP is a prerelease version of the next major release for Team Foundation Server.

Notes

  • CTPs are in English only.
  • CTPs are unsupported and are intended to be used for testing, trials, and feedback only.
  • CTPs are not subjected to final validation. They are not meant to be run on production workstations or servers. If you install a CTP on a production server, this puts the server into an unsupported state.

Known issues
TFS
  • In TFS Build vNext, when you build a project, you may experience a "path too long" error.

    To work around this issue, edit the Settings.json file to change the working folder path to a rooted folder such as c:\builds. You do not have to create the folder. However, you have to restart the VsoBuildAgent service. The full path to the Settings.json file is as follows:
    %Program Files%\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Build\settings.json
  • When you use Team Explorer Everywhere to connect to Team Foundation Server 2015, you may be unable to access work items. This may occur if Areas or Iterations are being updated when a work item is being modified.

    To work around this issue in Team Explorer Everywhere, follow these steps:
    1. Close Eclipse.
    2. Locate and examine your equivalent of the following path:

      C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4.0\Cache\TEE-WorkItemTracking
    3. For all subfolders that contain Teamexplorer.script, open the file, and then change NULL to "0". For example:
      INSERT INTO HIERARCHY VALUES(0,FALSE,-41,'\',0,FALSE,0,NULL,1)
      Change it to:
      INSERT INTO HIERARCHY VALUES(0,FALSE,-41,'\',0,FALSE,0,'0',1)
