Is there workaround for when TFPT is “unable to determine the workspace” and refreshing the cache does not work?

Question

I\'m having trouble getting TFPT.exe to work at all, even after trying to refresh the cached workspace settings per the usual advice on the internet. See below for a log repres

As long as you are inside the working directory, tfpt annotate should work. If you are getting the message "Unable to determine the workspace" then it is a caching issue.

If, as you said, you ran tf workspaces /s:serverURL and it still doesn't resolve I would try creating a new workspace and testing it out there. If that works then something wrong with the workspace obviously and I would just delete it and use the new one. If both fail then of course there is a bigger problem but that is how I would approach it.
