TFVC WSL can't create new local workspace

[loviji]

I use Ubuntu WSL on Windows 10 OS. In Ubuntu 20.04 LTS I have docker installed for creation docker images. Then we have on premise Azure Devops Server 2019. There have source codes in git and also in tfvc. With git we have not problems, it's more native with Linux. But with tfvc I can't create workspace for getting code in next steps. As described there https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21741880/how-do-you-create-new-windows-workspace-with-tfs-command-line-client-that-is-run I'm trying to create workspace

/home/myuser/TEE-CLC-14.135.0/tf workspace -new SOMECORELIN -collection:http://tfsms.company.local/tfs/DefaultCollection

nothing happens.

then I'm trying to view workspace created, like:

/home/myuser/TEE-CLC-14.135.0/tf workspaces

Result is:

No local workspaces found.

WSL has access to TFS server.

What is wrong? Maybe there was someone from you who had an experience or a similar problem, please help?

java --version
openjdk 11.0.9.1 2020-11-04
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.9.1+1-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.20.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.9.1+1-Ubuntu-0ubuntu1.20.04, mixed mode, sharing)

Have a nice day.

leo-liu-msft from stackoverflow advice me to resolve this issue like this:

There is an issue on the agent's TEE version before 14.135(github.com/Microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere/releases), To resolve that issue, we need update the TEE to 14.135 and copy two files ( slf4j-api-1.7.19.jar and slf4j-log4j12-1.7.19.jar) into the lib directory of new TEE from the lib directory of previous Tee (14.134), please try to this to check if it helps you.

And this advice fixes issue.

having same issue and the workaround works like a charm.

Exact commands I used to install a working copy:

# get TEE version
tee_version=$(curl --silent https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere/releases/latest | jq -r .tag_name | tee /dev/stderr)

# create directory for TEE-CLC
mkdir -vp ~/.local/opt/TEE-CLC/

# Download and extract TEE-CLC
curl -L https://github.com/microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere/releases/download/${tee_version}/TEE-CLC-${tee_version}.zip \
  | bsdtar -xvf - --strip-components 1 -C ~/.local/opt/TEE-CLC/

# Get the slf4j jars from the previous version
curl -L https://github.com/microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere/releases/download/14.134.0/TEE-CLC-14.134.0.zip \
  | bsdtar -xvf - --strip-components 2 -C ~/.local/opt/TEE-CLC/lib/ './*/lib/slf4j-*'

# make tf executable
chmod +x ~/.local/opt/TEE-CLC/tf
