Sometimes, when I’m ckeckin out source code using Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 Professional, this error appears:
“TF10167: An unsupported ConflictId was specified.”
This forces me to copy source code and fix the problems by my own hand after I overwrite
my local workspace with server’s source code version.
What’s going on? How can I solve it?
This is likely a bug in TFS that has been fixed in TFS 11. It is possible that renaming a folder that has a conflict in a child item caused this to happen.
To overcome this error, the conflict needs to be removed from the database – however, you will need to contact Microsoft Support and open a case to get them to help you with it. Seeing that this is likely a bug in the product, the support case should be free.
Although its a pain, recreating your workspace should also fix this problem.
I confirmed with the dev team that when your server gets upgraded to TFS 11, this gets detected and fixed automatically.
