TFS Event Handler

Created Issue: System.NullReferenceException in ServiceHostManager_WorkItemChangedEvent Eventhandler

Halabad — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:22:39 GMT

I got a NullReferenceException in ServiceHostManager_WorkItemChangedEvent Eventhandler if no TeamServerItem is found.
Please have a look at the Exception in my Eventlog:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at Hinshelwood.TFSEventHandler.TFSEventHandlerService.ServiceHostManager_WorkItemChangedEvent(ServiceHostItem ServiceHost, NotifyEventArgs`1 e) in C:\Working\Workspaces\CPTFS03\TFSEventHandler\DEV\Main\RDdotNet.TFSEventHandlerService\TFSEventHandlerService.vb:line 90

The problem is pretty simple if you have a quick look at the respective code:

If TeamServerItem Is Nothing Then <- check for 'nothing/null'
If TeamServerItem.ItemElement.LogEvents Then My.Application.Log.WriteEntry("Cant find team server!", TraceEventType.Critical) <- Access the nothing 'TeamServerItem' ..
Exit Sub
End If

... a flawless evil bug :O)

As a suggestion on the brink: It would be cool to record the value of 'e.Identity' in the eventlog in case of the problem, that the Team server could not be found!

Thanks
Frank

Commented Issue: Email Notification is not delivered

Hi Hinshel,

I installed the service succesfully on my machine. Our environment is running TFS 2008 SP1 and I am the administrator. Event Handler service is running under TFS Service account. I did all the necessary configuration except UrlReplacement tag.

I am not receiving any email notifications. Is there anything wrong with the configuration. What values I need to put in UrlReplacement?

Thanks

Shoeb

Can you check the tfs server event log for errors? This is where they are listed when it can't send to the service

Commented Issue: Include a blank config file in the install

This would be much easier to revert to if the config file was unintentionally corrupted

You should always take a copy of any config file before modification... for that very reason :)

New Post: Exception raised when starting the TFSEventHandler service

I am glad that you got this sorted out, but I do run them both under the same account DOMAIN\svc_tfsservices with no problems...

It may be just one of those things...

The solution to this problem was to run TFSEventHandler under a separate service than TFS. The problem with the POST was due to the fact that the web service was set to run under the same service as TFS. As soon as we set the TFSEventHandler to run under a different user, the issues disappeared. The system is working now.

Commented Issue: Email not sent to Assigned To Person

hinshelmw — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:48:17 GMT

hi there

The email is not being sent to "Assigned To" person, though I recieve email (may be because I am the owner of the work item) through the tfs event service. Is the handlers designed to do the part of "sending email" to the person in "assigned to" field?

thanks
-Niranch.

that being said The AssignedTo handler will not send an email if the person that made the chanage is the same person that the WorkItem is being assigned to.

The whole purpose of the service is to allow you to add your own handlers :)

Also "test email" works perfect. whenever there is a change in Workitem, workitem assigned email is sent to email id in "test email" but not to the assigned person. It obstructs my whole purpose of using this handler. Is there any setting?

We are getting an exception when we try to start the TFSEventHandler service. The exception is raised by /Services/v1.0/Registration.asmx:

Exception Message: The HTTP verb POST used to access path '/Services/v1.0/Registration.asmx' is not allowed. (type HttpException)

Can someone point me in the right direction as to troubleshooting this? Is it a problem with the ports, or the configuration file? Thanks.

New Post: Which account is used to connect to TFS Server?

miguel_marques — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:39:31 GMT

I think that this utility have a great for testing purposes. I was trying to get this setup on a virtual machine and when the service starts to connect to the server tells me that I do not have permissions to connect to the server.

Can someone tell me if there are possibility to in some computer without priveligies (test machine) to access to the server with another account?

Commented Issue: Exception while trying to add event handler to BuildCompletionEvent & BuildChangeEvent

hinshelmw — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 08:17:48 GMT

I have successfully created my own WorkItemChangedEvent handler & it works great!
The problem is when i try to create a BuildCompletionEvent or BuildChangeEvent I get the exception below.
What i have in mind is that there was an WorkItemManager loads when i use my first event, but when i do the build events I don't see something like BuildsManager loads in the Event log.
Most likely there's a problem in the WCF service manager for the Build events handler.
