TFS (On-Premises) support?

[pabrams]

Any particular reason on-prem is not supported, or is it mainly just that you can't test it?

There are a couple of reasons:

• Supporting On-Premise TFS would mean potentially dealing with different versions (2017, 2018, different .x releases, etc.)
• Testing the extension is already cumbersome
• We migrated away from our on-premise TFS a while ago
• I did not check which steps would be required to make the extension available on-premise and if there would be any compatibility issues
• We provide this extension for free

But if someone wants to help with test/support for on-premise TFS, it would probably be possible.

I'm interested in playing around with it in order to support on-premises. What would it take to enable installing on-premise?

Well, the first thing is to change the config in VSS-extension.json to allow TFS. Aside from that, since they can't test, original devs probably don't know, so probably just have to deploy it and start debugging. Could be some missing APIs or something (depending on TFS version - I'm on TFS 2017 Update3). I might try a PR myself if I get a chance.
