    Hello All,

     

    I have been trying to use the plugin for RA and created the build in TFS.

     

    It doesn't show anything up in RA.

     

    Could anyone please help?

     

    Thank You,

    Hi,

     

    Do you think it is related to the errors shown in the build? If so, you can try looking here:

    http://geekswithblogs.net/mnf/archive/2012/08/19/there-is-no-working-folder-mapping-error-in-the-tfs.aspx

     

    However, the build does indicate that it succeeds. So if the plugin is not being initiated then maybe it is related to the build in TFS being named differently than the build named in the plugin (TFS seems to be 2.0-b1 vs. Plugin: 2.0-b).

     

    You can also check for an Event Log named RA. We log some data there.

     

    Cheers,

    Gregg

    Answer: The build name in TFS and the RA Plugin were exactly the same (as needed). The problem was that the RAPlugin dll's were not properly installed to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 12.0\Application Tier\WebServices\bin\Plugins folder. It was only found in our RA Plugin install folder. We think that maybe the plugin was installed before the TFS Server application. After uninstalling and re-installing the RA Plugin we confirmed that the RAPlugin dll's were put in their appropriate C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 12.0\Application Tier\WebServices\bin\Plugins folder and running the build was able to successfully call the RA Process.
