TF400917: The current configuration is not valid for this feature. This feature cannot be used until you correct the configuration.

One of my clients modified the TFS process template for one of their projects. They updated the bug Work Item and added some extra states. Everything seemed to work until they opened up the TFS Scrum board. Instead of a nice and fully functional Scrum board, they got the following error message:

TF400917: The current configuration is not valid for this feature. This feature cannot be used until you correct the configuration.

To fix this, I had to execute the following steps:

  • Export the CommonProcessConfig xml:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE>witadmin exportcommonprocessconfig /collection: <collectionurl> /p: <projectname> /f:c:\processconfig.xml

  • Update the BugWorkItems section inside the XML and add the missing states:

    • <BugWorkItems category="Microsoft.BugCategory">
        <States>
          <State type="InProgress" value="Not Done" />
          <State type="InProgress" value="On Hold" />
          <State type="Complete" value="Closed" />
          <State type="Complete" value="Not reproducable" />
          <State type="Complete" value="Release" />
          <State type="Resolved" value="Test AIG" />
          <State type="Resolved" value="Test BUS" />
          <State type="Resolved" value="Test Failed" />
        </States>
      </BugWorkItems>

    • Import the updated config again:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE>witadmin importcommonprocessconfig /collection: <collectionurl> /p: <projectname> /f:c:\processconfig.xml

    And the issue was gone Glimlach

    Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

    Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...

    Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

    After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...
