TFS Local Workspaces error -TF400030: The local data store is currently in use by another operation.

On a large Visual Studio project I started getting the following error message:

TF400030: The local data store is currently in use by another operation.

This project is using the local workspace feature of TFS, which has a lot of advantages, but has it own set of problems when your solution gets quite large(think 50.000 items or more).

I tried multiple solutions to solve the issue:

  • One possible solution is to delete the local workspace and recreate it again. This will clear the local version table, and allows you to start over with a clean slate. We noticed a small performance improvement after doing this.
  • An alternative could be to evaluate your current workspace and see if some server side folders should not be mapped. This can help decrease the size of your workspace.
  • Another option you have is to change back from a local workspace to a server workspace. As mentioned before, this option is useful only when your workspace contains a lot of items. In that case switching to a server workspace can help as they are proven to scale to up to 10,000,000 items in a single workspace.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
