Well this problem occurs when the command can’t get which local directory maps to which server path.

Basically the first thing to check is your workspace mappings.

Is the local folder actually mapped? You can do this two ways:


Open Visual Studio | File | Source Control… | Workspaces, or

Open a command prompt and type: tf workspaces /server:http://tfs-server:8080 /owner:domain\username

Each of these will show you all the available workspaces and their mappings.


Workspace: MyWorkspace_ProjectX

Owner : user

Computer : MYCOMPUTER

Comment :

Server : tfs-server

$/ProjectX: D:\code\ProjectX

If the workspace mapping exists on the server, then your mappings cache file may need to be refreshed.

Get command to populate/refresh the cache:

tf workspaces /s:http://tfs-server:8080

It shall force your machine to update its local server-to-folder mappings cache file.

This file is located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\2.0\Cache in Vista.
