Finalbuider unable to connect to TFS Online

Hi,

I’ve got a need to execute a “Team Foundation Get” action against an online TFS instance.

When I do, I get the result from the action below. I guess my first question is whether Finalbuilder is compatible with Visual Studio Team Services? If so, I could use a bit of help in regards to how to get the connection to work?

Error: TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server: https://hambs.visualstudio.com/{projectname}.
Error: Team Foundation Server Url: https://{projectname}.visualstudio.com/{projectname}
  
Possible reasons for failure include:
- The name, port number, or protocol for the Team Foundation Server is incorrect.
- The Team Foundation Server is offline.
- The password has expired or is incorrect.

Technical information (for administrator):
Error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Hi Mitchell Gage,

FinalBuilder uses the tf.exe command line to communicate with visual studio online. To see if the installed version of tf.exe can connect to visual studio online please let me know the result of the following command line.

tf status /collection:“https://hambs.visualstudio.com/{projectname}” /login:{your-loging}

The best way to run the tf command is to start a visual studio developer command prompt. You should find a shortcut in your start menu under your latest version of visual studio.

Hi Jason,

Thanks very much for your reply.

When the TF command failed I found I had the wrong URL in all of my commands.

The invalid URL I was trying to supply was https://hambs.visualstudio.com/Project

Dropping /Project off the end fixed Finalbuilder and everything else.

Thanks
