tfpt.exe on Visual Studio 2017

Even after installing Productivity Power Tools extension for Visual Studio 2017 I still cannot run tfpt.exe to execute the command suggested on this post:

C:\Development> tfpt unshelve "ShevesetName;UserName" /migrate /source:"$/Project/Source" /target:"$/Project/Target"

Where can I find this program?

Solution

  • Just as Daniel said, they are two entirely different things. A supplement :TFS 2017 Process Template Editor is available

    In your case, you are trying to use the unshelve command to unshelve a shelveset to another branch in TFS. As a workaround you could use tf Unshelve and Rename command to achieve this in two steps.

    Or just install a earlier version VS and Power Tools such as VS2015 and Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools. After all you just need to match the version of the TFS Power Tools with your Visual Studio client.
