FinalBuilder7 using TFS WorkItems

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hi Guys,

 

I am using the team foundation Workitem part of FB 7 to create tasks in TFS 2010 for my team.

However due to multiple baselines and projects we were hoping to use Iterations to split the tasks, this it seems is not working.

Whe I select the System.IterationPath filed in the field values to set area, and run the step FB tels me :

Cannot set TreePath-type field System.IterationPath. This type is not supported.
 

Please can you advise on how to get around this?

Alternatively I tried using TFPT.exe to do the job ut can't get it to run without asking for credentials, can you let me know how you build your scripts in command line style to allow the login as bit?

Hi,
I’m not sure why TreePath fields are not supported - we explicitly check for them then throw the error you’re seeing. I’ll see if I can dig around and find out what the limitation was, and if it’s now possible to work around it.

However, you should be able to make use of System.IterationId, which takes an integer value. I’ve tried it and it runs successfully. If you’re not able to use IterationId for some reason please let me know and I’ll dig further.

Cheers,

Ben
