I would like to get the source code of a project at specific time (changeset). So I need do download whole folder. I would like to do it for different times and handling a different workspace is not very convenient.
I know about TFS Get Specific Version into separate folder (with workspace) and Need command to get a file from TFS without a workspace (one file).
Is there some solution for whole folder without creating a new workspace?
Edit I have found the accepted answer too ambitious. I needed something more simple.
Assumptions:
ChangeSetNumber
Changeset from the folder
DesiredFolder
in TFS project tProj
I run the following batch from a destination folder in Visual Studio Command Prompt
set workspace_name=TemporaryWorkspace%username%
set changeset= ChangeSetNumber
tf workspace -new %workspace_name% -noprompt
tf workfold -map $/tProj . -workspace:%workspace_name%
tf get $/tProj/DesiredFolder -version:C%changeset% -recursive -noprompt
tf workfold -unmap . -workspace:%workspace_name%
tf workspace -delete %workspace_name% -noprompt
It is necessary to confirm remove source control association when starting the downloaded solution.
I use this syntax for temporary workspaces:
tf workspace -new %JOB_NAME%;%user% -noprompt -server:http://%host%:8080/tfs/%project% -login:%user%,%password%
tf workfold -map $/Release/MilestoneX.X . -workspace:%JOB_NAME% -server:http://%host%:8080/tfs/%project% -login:%user%,%password%
tf get . -version:L%TFS_LABEL% -recursive -noprompt -login:%user%,%password%
tf workfold -unmap . -workspace:%JOB_NAME% -login:%user%,%password%
tf workspace -delete %JOB_NAME%;%user% -noprompt -server:http://%host%:8080/tfs/%project% -login:%user%,%password%
