When I check-in at my desktop (or laptop) and later changes computer to opposite one and requests a get latest then TFS won’t update any files just checked in. The only way I’ve found to fix this is either to delete the local project or executing a get specific version that says to ‘overwrite all files even if the local version matches the specified version’.
I’m thinking this is either because I’m using the same TFS account on both computers. Can this really be true? Working on multiple machines as the same user must be a common scenario.
What approach should I take to fix or avoid this issue?
It is because of the duplicate login. I had the same issue. There was also a bug back in the day (don’t remember which version) where Get Latest didn’t actually recurse through the directories correctly. I just got specific version every single time. It wasn’t that much harder (4 clicks vs. 2) so I’ve just gotten used to getting specific every single time.
