Getting "Failed to create mapping" when adding a solution to TFS source control

Question

I've created a new Team Project in TFS, but when I try to add my solution to it I get:

'Failed to create mapping

Cannot map server path, $/Finance/MyApp, because it is not rooted beneath a team project.'

I can't find anything on google or here that looks remotely like this problem.

Answer 1

I had this issue when using Microsoft's Team Foundation Service from Visual Studio 2012. I had just created the new team project via the TFS website. Although I could see my new project in the 'add solution' window, I got the error the OP reported.

I had to go into the "Team Explorer" window, then into "Connect to Team Projects" and tick the new project. Then I was able to add my solution to the team project.

Answer 2

Is Finance a team project for you?

If not, you can clear the mappings for the workspace or even just delete your workspace. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/54dkh0y3(v=VS.100).aspx

Had the same issue when upgrading project to TFS 2010 from 2008. The solution was to delete the vsssc file in the root of the project folder and re-add it
