GetLocalWorkspaceInfo always get null

Question

my problem is really similar to TFS API: GetLocalWorkspaceInfo always returns null, except I am using visual studio 2015, so those answers don't really work for me. And I tried GetAllLocalWorkspaceInfo, it returns a null as well.

Thanks

I have tested the code snippet you referred in VS 2015 and got a successful result. Make sure you have reference the dlls in VS 2015: c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\T‌​eam Explorer

And in the code snippet, you need to use Console.WriteLine to output the workspace information that you want:

private static Workspace FindWorkspaceByPath(TfsTeamProjectCollection tfs, string workspacePath)
        {

            VersionControlServer versionControl = tfs.GetService<VersionControlServer>();

            WorkspaceInfo workspaceInfo = Workstation.Current.GetLocalWorkspaceInfo(workspacePath);

            if (workspaceInfo != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(workspaceInfo.Computer);
                Console.WriteLine(workspaceInfo.DisplayName);
                return versionControl.GetWorkspace(workspaceInfo);
            }

            //No Workspace found using method 1, try to query all workspaces the user has on this machine.
            Workspace[] workspaces = versionControl.QueryWorkspaces(null, Environment.UserName, Environment.MachineName);
            foreach (Workspace w in workspaces)
            {
                foreach (WorkingFolder f in w.Folders)
                {
                    if (f.LocalItem.Equals(workspacePath))
                    {
                        return w;
                    }
                }
            }

            throw new Exception(String.Format("TFS Workspace cannot be determined for {0}.", workspacePath));
        }

I found out this issue is because of package version, so if you have this issue, please check the version of your package matches the version of your visual studio
