I am trying to use the Team Foundation Check In Pending Changes in FB6.2
We have a check in policy that says that all check ins have to be associated with a work item and the name of the code review supplier. I have worked out how to set the code review, but I cannot see any way of associating a work item with the check in.
I have ticked the Override the checkin policy and when I remove the Checkin Notes I get the following error:
Path to Executable: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\tf.exe
Workspace Directory: F:\
Command line: checkin /comment:"Changes from Continuous build" /noprompt /override:"Continuous build so not associated with a work item" "F:\Symphony\Dev\LPEG\_RES" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\iManage Gazetteer 10g.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\iManage Gazetteer.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\Symphony Oracle.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\Symphony SQL Server.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\TfL iManage.wsi" /recursive
TF10117: The following check-in note does not pass check-in requirement:
Code Reviewer: A value must be specified for the check-in note.
TF10139: The following check-in policies have not been satisfied:
You must associate this check-in with one or more work items.
The policies have been overridden.
No files checked in.
Failed!
If I add the Checkin Note for the Code Reviewer I get the following error;
Path to Executable: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\tf.exe
Workspace Directory: F:\
Command line: checkin /comment:"Changes from Continuous build" /noprompt /notes /override:"Continuous build so not associated with a work item" "F:\Symphony\Dev\LPEG\_RES" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\iManage Gazetteer 10g.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\iManage Gazetteer.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\Symphony Oracle.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\Symphony SQL Server.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\TfL iManage.wsi" /recursive
Option notes requires a value.
Failed!
I also get the above message if I uncheck the Override the checkin policy checkbox.

Hi Sean
The problem is that we are calling the Team System command line tool (tf.exe) which unfortunately doesn’t have the ability to associate a work item with checkin’s. There is a TFS power tool that you can call, I did find some useful info here :

See the last post in that thread.

Hi Vincent
Thanks, but I am quite happy to override the Checkin Policy and not associate with a work item, but the override does not seem to work as it is still giving me the error: **Option notes requires a value** , see below
> Path to Executable: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\tf.exe
> Workspace Directory: F:\
> Command line: checkin /comment:"Changes from Continuous build" /noprompt /notes /override:"Continuous build so not associated with a work item" "F:\Symphony\Dev\LPEG\_RES" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\iManage Gazetteer 10g.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\iManage Gazetteer.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\Symphony Oracle.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\Symphony SQL Server.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\TfL iManage.wsi" /recursive
> **Option notes requires a value.**
> Failed!
I am assuming it referes to the /notes parameter and refers to the Checkin Notes tab on the action. This error only appears if I have entered something in the box. If I leave this empty I get the following:
> Path to Executable: D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\tf.exe

> Command line: checkin /comment:"Changes from Continuous build" /noprompt /override:"Continuous build so not associated with a work item" "F:\Symphony\Dev\LPEG\_RES\*.\*" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\iManage Gazetteer 10g.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\iManage Gazetteer.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\Symphony Oracle.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\Symphony SQL Server.wsi" "F:\Symphony\Dev\Wise Install\TfL iManage.wsi"

Hi Sean
Ok, I will look at this when I get in to the office on monday (don’t have TFS at home!). I suspect it’s not likeing how we specify the command line for the override.

Hi Sean,
It looks like a bug in the Check-in action with regards to parsing the check-in notes. We’ll have a new build available soon.

Paul.
