Unshelve to another branch

Question

I'm trying to unpack my changes to the another branch using TFS Power Tools. I'm trying to execute command

tfpt unshelve /migrate "NuGet Build" "/source:$/ProjectName/Main/Source" "/target:$/ProjectName/Main/Source-NuGet"

But it returns message 'tfpt : Unable to determine the workspace'.

I'm running command from the directory that mapped to this project. Moreover I've tried to use tf workspaces /s:http://our-tfs.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Answer 1

You can define your path in cmd with the TFPT. And then, from there, you go to the destination folder or workspace where you want to unshelve your code.

1. c:\>path = %path%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010 Power Tools

2. cd c:\[some location]\"destination workspace"

3. tfpt unshelve /migrate "NuGet Build" /source:"$/ProjectName/Main/Source" /target:"$/ProjectName/Main/Target-NuGet"

Here you have a video that explains this.

I found out where the problem.
I'm tried to use TFS Power Tools 2008 because we are using TFS 2008. But I should use TFS Power Tools the same version as the Visual Studio.

Answer 3

I know this has been answered but for me the problem was easily solved by using Visual Studio command prompt instead of the default windows CMD. Most solutions out there just say "Open CMD..." which is probably where the problem lies.

The reason is windows CMD is aware of the power tools commands (e.g. tfpt) but not of the normal VS commands (e.g. tf).
