I can't check in an existing project to VisualStudio.com

Question

I have Visual Studio Express 2012 installed which is linked to my VisualStudio.com account, I created a new project but I didn't tick the

Add to source control

option as I was intending it to be a throwaway project. However, I now want to keep it so I am trying to add it to source control after the fact.

I've tried both adding the project to source control when the project is open and moving the files from the "Excluded Changes" section of the Pending Changes window. In both cases I get the following error:

TF10169: Unsupported pending change attempted on team project folder $/RadioButtonTest. Use the Project Creation Wizard in Team Explorer to create a project or the Team Project deletion tool to delete one.

My default collection is mapped to E:\Chris\projects and the project I'm trying to add is directly in that folder.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I had exactly the same happen - mucked about a bit and got it working by adding a project of the same name to my VS Online page.

Try this:

1. Open your web browser to your visualstudio.com homepage
2. Under "Recent projects & teams"
3. Hit "New"
4. Use your "RadioButtonTest" as the project name and go through the creation flow
5. Check in from VS
