You are having problems with Visual Studio 2013, TFS, and _references.js files.
The development team has 3 teams. On all of our laptops we installed the following:
- Visual Studio 2013 Premium Update 2
- Performance Power Tools 2013 v12.0.30519.1
- Web Essentials 2013 for Update 2 v2.2
- Plus a few other extensions, such as the SideWaffle template pack.
Our solution consists of an ASP.NET MVC project plus several other class library projects, and everything is tested in TFS.
The problem was that the _references.js file was automatically checked when opening the solution and projects, although no obvious changes were made to anything. Then, when one of the team members has the _references.js file, and the other team members just want to open the solution and projects, VS tries to check _references.js, but can not, because it has already been checked. Then VS issues an infinite number of message boxes with an error about the lack of the ability to check the file. The only way is to kill the VS-process, force the person with the verified file to check it, and then all team members can continue their work.
