Hi
I get this _
##[error]Exception calling "FromStrings" with "2" argument(s): "The string must have at least one character.

when running: "TFVC - Check-in changes"

any ideas?

No, you're the first in 8 years to report this ;).

There's one place where this method is being called, and my guess would be that the ItemSpec isn't a valid one:

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Ajessehouwing%2Fazure-pipelines-tfvc-tasks%20FromStrings&type=code

The ItemSpec is the stored in the Files to check in field.

Can you share diagnostic logs? If you don't want to attach them here, send them to [email protected]. I may be able to spend some time on this next week.

Can you turn on diagnostics and run again?

Looks like there is an underlying problem:

 : Exception calling "FromStrings" with "2" argument(s): "Illegal characters in path."

Can you try removing the ; separating the 2 itemspecs, the newline should be enough. Make sure there is no other whitespace.

Try entering all slashes in the windows direction: \ instead of /.

Try calling tf vc status /format:detailed to see if there are any files with reserved characters in their name.

Still get:
##[error]Exception calling "FromStrings" with "2" argument(s): "Illegal characters in path."

Looks like you're building on your own agent. Is that agent persistent?

If so, you can edit the PS1 file for the task in the agent's _tasks folder. The chicken task should be cached there, can you add a couple of write-host lines to print the values of the parameters passed to the method that's failing?

azure-pipelines-tfvc-tasks/tf-vc-shared/v1/vsts-tfvc-shared.psm1

Line 303 in d515dd7

return @([Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.ItemSpec]::FromStrings($Paths, $RecursionType))

I currently can't repro this locally.
