Unable to Select Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) When Creating a New Pipeline

Naphatsorn Wedchasarn 0

I am trying to create my first pipeline in my project. However, on the "Where is your code?" page, I am unable to select or connect to Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC).

Could you please advise why this option is not available and how I can proceed?

Hi @Naphatsorn Wedchasarn ,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here. Please try below and let me know if it works.

Navigate to Organization settings --> Repositories under Repos category.

Disable radio button of option - Disable creation of TFVC repositories

To see option in Create new pipeline, there should be a TFVC repository to select. If not present, create a new repo with type TFVC.

After this, TFVC will appear.

Dear @Rakesh Mishra

Thank you very much for your response.

I have already configured the “Disable creation of TFVC repositories” option as suggested. However, when I go to Create a repository, I am unable to select the repository type. The only available option is Git, and TFVC is not selectable.

Additionally, when I navigate to the Connect page (the first step of creating a new pipeline), I can see the TFVC option listed. However, when I click on it to proceed, there is no response and the page does not redirect or move forward. On the other hand, when I select other available options, the process continues normally and redirects to the next step as expected.

Could you please advise on what might be causing this issue?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello,

Could you please let me know what information I should prepare in advance for our discussion? I would like to make sure I have everything ready to help the meeting go smoothly.

Also, due to the time zone difference, I am available on Wednesday between 3:00–4:00 PM Thailand time (GMT+7). Would that time work for you?

Please let me know if you need any additional details from my side.

Thank you.

Hello @Naphatsorn Wedchasarn ,

Please provide below details:
Organization creation date

Confirm if any TFVC repo has ever existed in that org

Confirm this is not a migrated/on-prem Azure DevOps Server org

Check if there are any feature flags restricting TFVC (if you have internal access)

Answer 1

If you are unable to select Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) when creating a new pipeline in Azure DevOps, it could be due to a few reasons:

Project Configuration: Ensure that your project is configured to use TFVC. If the project was created with Git as the version control system, TFVC will not be available.
Permissions: Check if you have the necessary permissions to access the TFVC repository. You need to be a member of the Azure DevOps project and have the appropriate permissions like Read, Check In, and Check Out.
Visual Studio Connection: Make sure you are connected to the TFVC repository through Visual Studio. You can do this by using the Team Explorer to connect to your project.
TFVC Not Supported: Note that TFVC is not supported on ARM versions of Visual Studio, which might affect your ability to connect.

If you confirm that your project is set up correctly and you have the necessary permissions, but still cannot select TFVC, consider reaching out to your Azure DevOps administrator for further assistance.
