I hope this is on-topic here -- it's my first post to a mono list, and I
don't know of any that's specific to OpenTF. However, I figured other
developers here are probably using it, and might be able to help me out.
I'm a professional .NET developer by day, and a Linux enthusiast the
rest of the time. I'm pretty amazed that I can so easily port a utility
that I built to run on Windows, just by copying the solution from my
XP-Pro machine to my openSuSE machine and rebuilding it with mono. Now
that I'm working in this environment, source control is going to be an
issue for me, and I was excited to find out about OpenTF.
I downloaded the Win32 client, and tried to issue a few commands against
our TFS server at work, but I got stopped pretty early on because of our
domain naming convention. Because I'm in our company's Bothell
location, our machine names here all start with "bot-". So our TFS
server, for example, is called "bot-VSTF."
When I try to use OpenTF to get a list of workspaces on that server, I
get an error telling me that it doesn't understand "-VSTF." Apparently
it's consdering the "-" to be a switch character, which makes sense,
however I should be able to enclose an argument in quotes to get around
that. Not so, in this case.
I've tried using
/server:"bot-VSTF"
and
"/server:bot-VSTF"
with exactly the same results. OpenTF STILL thinks I'm passing it a
parameter called "VSTF" that it doesn't recognize.
Am I missing something obvious here? Thanks in advance to anyone who
can help!
