The easiest way to view your logs is to go to Help -> Team Explorer Support. The logs tab will show you the log files from the last several invocations of Eclipse.
They're also stored on the filesystem at:
- Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\[version]\Logs
- Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Team Foundation/[version]/Logs
- Unix:
~/.microsoft/Team Foundation/[version]/Logs
Where [version]
is 3.0
for TEE 2010 and 4.0
for TEE 2012. You're looking for the teamexplorer-plugin
logs.
If your logs are blank, this is usually because you have Mylyn installed and it has decided to override your commons logging configuration (for all of Eclipse, and all Eclipse plugins) with one that doesn't write log files, thanks to Eclipse bug 353168. You should be able to work around this by either:
- Temporarily uninstalling Mylyn, or
Editing your
eclipse.ini
to pass a new system property:-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger
Please let us know if there's any additional error messages in the logs.
