Error VS403459 when access to source control explorer in visual studio 2017

Question

I created a new solution in Visual Studio 2017 adding it to a TFS.

Before I commited the changes, I renamed the main project directly in visual studio.

After that I could no longer enter in Control Explorer giving me the following error:

VS403459: The change type Edit, Branch, TargetRename is not permitted on uncommitted item $projectName. Please undo the change to this item to fix your local workspace cahe.

I have tried several solutions that I have found on the internet but none have worked.

Any kind of help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I found the solution on my own.

In team explorer, select "pending changes"

In "$" folder, sould appear the route shown in the error item.

Press right button and select "Undo". The problem is gone.

Answer 2

Hi @Francisco Fuentes, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

If you undo the change, does it work? 

Please close all running Visual Studio instances and delete TFS cache in the path: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\xxx\Cache. 

Then, restart your VS and check if it works. 

If it persists, please directly post it in dedicated TFS forum. 

Sincerely,

Anna
