Team Build Error: The Path ... is already mapped to workspace
I received this error, which was caused by having two build definitions that pointed to the same source. The issue was that I used a static build directory in the Build Agent.
This forum post describes my issue and resolution exactly: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsbuild/thread/60a4138a-9b28-4c46-bdf4-f9775ce43c3e/
Use the command line utility TF - Team Foundation Version Control Tool (tf).
You can get a list of all workspaces by bringing up a Visual Studio Command Prompt then changing to your workspace folder and issuing the following commands:
C:\YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspaces /owner:*
You should see your problem workspace in the list as well as it's owner.
You can delete the workspace with the following command:
C:\YourWorkspaceFolder>tf workspace /delete /server:BUILDSERVER WORKSPACENAME;OWNERNAME
Just delete the contents of the following folder(s):
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\3.0\Cache
Where UserName is actual or current user, and 3.0 is the version number.
I had a similar issue and to remove the workspace that was causing me a problem, I logged into another machine with TFS client installed and performed the following:
- On the File menu, point to Source Control, Advanced, and then click Workspaces....
- In the Manage Workspaces dialog box, tick the Show remote packages checkbox.
- Under the Name column, select the workspace that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
- In the Confirmation dialog box, click OK.
