TEE 2012 does not check out files automatically

Question

I have TFS Server 2012 SP1. Eclipse 3.6.2 (Helios Service Release 2). TEE 11.0.0.201211191425

I see a complete team menu, I can check-out and check-in files manually. However if I just start editing a file it will not be checked out automatically :( as it did with 2010 before updates.

I have tried to change settings to "Display progress while checking out" and "Prompt before checking out" - no effect.

"Detect changes..." functionality does not work either.

Only if I close the project and then open it again, the modified file will be checked out automatically (only once).

wtf???

UPDATE: The modified file will be checked out automatically also if I manually check-out/check-in another file in the same project.

Answer 1

Not sure about your specific TFS or Visual Studio version, however in VS2010 you have:

File > Source Control > Change Source Control

If your Solution/Project is listed like above with no Server Name, Binding etc., select it and click Bind. That may get things going again

Answer 2

Problem found

If Visual Studio 2012 is opened on the same PC and connected to the same TFS server, the TEE behaves as described above :(

@Edward Thomson, I think it is a bug. TEE should at least have displayed an error messages.
