Devops workspace server setup
Hi, I am currently working on a project with another person and trying to setup Azure devops to make it easier for us to keep track of the application. So far what we would like to do is set it up so we can both create a server workspace and each work on the application therefore when we checkout a file the other person will know that the other person is working on it and vice versa. however upon setting it up when I try and download the project C# .net web application I keep getting the errors that Access to path to certain folders is denied, and when checking properties its all read only but the other person is able to perfectly fine to open it even though its read-only. Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated it thanks.
- Hi there! It sounds like you're encountering some access issues with your Azure DevOps setup for your collaborative project. The error messages about denied access to certain folders and read-only properties can be a bit tricky to troubleshoot, but here are a few suggestions to help you out:
Permissions Check:
Double-check the permissions for the folders causing the issue. Ensure that both you and your teammate have the necessary permissions to read and write to those directories.
Workspace Configuration:
Verify your workspace configurations in Azure DevOps. Make sure both workspaces are correctly mapped and pointing to the right folders. This ensures that when you check out a file, it reflects the changes to your teammate.
Read-Only Attribute:
Check the read-only attribute of the files causing trouble. If they are set to read-only, try changing the attribute to ensure both of you have write access.
Visual Studio Settings:
Confirm the Visual Studio settings on both your machines. Sometimes, differences in settings can lead to inconsistent behavior. Ensure you are using the same configurations.
Regarding the specific issue of one person being able to open the project while it's read-only, it might be worth checking if they have local modifications that haven't been committed. Sometimes, pending changes can affect the ability to open files.
I hope these simple tips help resolve the access issues you're facing. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Impressico Business Solution for further assistance.
