Rider TFS integration

I'm attempting to setup an old project on a new computer using Rider with TFS. I'm already using TFS with the same repository on an old computer with Rider, however, I've noticed that on my new computer, TFS is no longer an option for version control. I have the plugin, I can go to version control under settings and view settings for TFS, but when I attempt to enable version control for the project, TFS is not an option. Similarly, I can't checkout from TFS.

Also, the settings screen for TFS is very different on my new computer's install, giving me only the options to delete and update configurations, but no way to add one (so I can't actually do anything). Any ideas about what's gone wrong here?

Have tested installing riderRS-171.4456.199.exe (Windows), the TFS Integration plugin has been bundled with Rider and enabled VCS-TFVC successfully. Seems you are using TFVC version control(check out), please follow below requirements:

You must have the TF command line tool installed to be able to use TFVC features. The minimum version supported by the plugin is 14.0.3. To install the tool, download the latest "TEE-CLC-14...zip" file and extract it to a known location. After extracting the files, you must accept the license agreement. To do so, open a Command Prompt/Terminal window, navigate to the extracted directory, and run tf eula. After reading the EULA, enter y enter code hereto accept it. NOTE: If you forget to do this, the plugin may fail to load with a RuntimeException.

For the tool to be detected by the plugin, you must set the location of the executable in the Settings/Preferences menu by following these instructions:

  1. Go to RD Settings Version Control -TFVC

  2. In the Path to tf executable text field, navigate to the location of the tf executable.

  3. Click Test to test that the executable has been found and is working as expected.

  4. Click Apply then OK to save and exit.

More details please refer this tutorial.

Also try to setup a new created project or select another project when you are using Rider with TFS. To narrow down if the issue is related to that special project.
