Unable to determine Workspace using TFS API in C# and TF.exe within TeamCity 9.1.3

I'm working on a Nant build script and attempting to get latest of ProjectInfo.vb and ProjectInfo.cs from C:\workspaces\myproject\thisfolder. In doing so I've tried using both a custom task written in C# and also using the NAnt Exec task to launch TF.EXE. I get the same error with both.

Unable to determine workspace

TF.exe returns error 100. The custom task throws an exception (unfortunately I don't have the exact type of exception written down) but the message returned is the same as when using TF.exe.

UPDATE: I have VS2013 Ultimate with Update 5 installed on the BuildServer running Windows 7 Professional SP1 and attempting to access TFServer 2010.

Has anyone experienced this before?

The error happens when the tf command is unable to determine the workspace. So, you need to either change the working folder to workspace folder, or create a workspace mapping in the current folder.

Check Kiquenet's reply in this link for the details: Unable to determine the workspace using TF.exe

Key steps are quoted for your quick reference:

  1. Create a new workspace C:\projects\blah>tf workspace /new blah /noprompt /collection:http://:/tfs/ /login:,
  2. Map a path in that workspace C:\projects\blah>tf workfold /map $/ . /login:,
