Getting "Failed to create mapping" when adding a solution to TFS source control

I've created a new Team Project in TFS, but when I try to add my solution to it I get:

'Failed to create mapping

Cannot map server path, $/Finance/MyApp, because it is not rooted beneath a team project.'

I can't find anything on google or here that looks remotely like this problem.

Had the same issue when upgrading project to TFS 2010 from 2008. The solution was to delete the vsssc file in the root of the project folder and re-add it

I had the same problem. My solution in VS2017:

  • Open Team Explorer tab
  • Select Source Control Explorer
  • Right click on the top level folder for the project and select "Advanced/Remove Mapping"
  • Remove the Mapping
  • Right click on the top level folder for the project and select "Advanced/Map to Local Folder"
  • Browse to the top level folder with the source code (You may need to adjust the path you selected. It may append a folder name to the end)
  • Click "Map"
  • Answer "Yes" to Message Box "Newly mapped items will not be downloaded until you execute a get. Do you want to get $/YourFolderName now?"

That should do it!
