git-tfs clone failing with “Found matching Visual Studio version…”

[Larry Weisberg]

I am trying to use a git tfs clone command that I successfully used a few months ago. However, I now get the output:
...
Found matching Visual Studio version at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional
No authors file used.
git-tfs version 0.32.0.0 (TFS client library 16.0.0.0 (MS)) (64-bit)

My guess is that this is because I now have both VS2019 and VS2022 installed. Is this the cause? Known issue? Is there a workaround?
I tried running the clone command with the additional --debug option but that just gave me back the clone help.

Thanks,
Larry

The 'Found matching' log output is just informational, not an error. Git-tfs is designed to be able to work with whatever VS version it can find, so generally if you can use both VS versions to access the TFS repository, git-tfs should be able to use either one. If only one of them is set up, then you can tell git-tfs to use the correct VS version by setting the GIT_TFS_CLIENT env var to 2019 or 2022 (as appropriate).

Can you share more about what's happening? Are there other errors in git-tfs's output? Is it creating any new files or directories? What's the full command that you're running?

Sorry - in the end I realized that I had a (stupid) syntax error, using --FROM instead of --changeset as a command line option :-(

No problem. I'm glad you got it sorted out!
