Retrieve the WIQL of a saved query created in TFS

I have created a query in TFS interactively using the web interface. Now I want to get the WIQL that it is using.

The only way I know how is to call the RESTful api, and pass $expand=wiql. Is there an easier way? Ideally from the interactive web interface?

Solution

  • You can use Chrome's "Developer Tools" (under "More Tools") click the Network tab and run the TFS query. You'll see the query item in the list of items. Click on the query item and you'll see the WIQL code in the view pane.
