I have installed Team Explorer Everywhere (TFS plug-in for Eclipse) on an Eclipse Lunar on Ubuntu. I am connected to our company's TFS server at XYZ.visualstudio.com and I can successfully connect and browse the files.
When I make changes to a file, I expect the plug-in to automatically check it out and detect if I have made any changes. Unfortunately it doesn't. "Pending changes" section only shows the files that are explicitly checked out. And it doesn't end here! It shows ALL checked out files as "Edited" even though they haven't been touched. Of course if I check in all the files, it only checks in the modified ones, that's cool. However I cannot see exactly what are the changes in the change set.
I tried the same scenario in Eclipse on Windows. That works fine. As soon as I edit a file, even outside Eclipse, it detect the change and adds the file to the list of pending changes. Interestingly, in Linux scenario, there is not even a "Detect Local Changes" in Action menu.
Why the plug-in behaves like this? Is it a bug? Am I missing anything?
PS: I have tried the following, didn't help:
- I closed and reopened Eclipse before and after modifying the file.
- I chmod my files to a+rw
- I ran Eclipse as root
Versions:
Ubuntu: 14.04
Kernel: 3.13.0-4-generic
