Unable to use methodology because work item queries have encoding information removed from the X
I am loving this tool....absolutely loving it.
However, I believe I've found an issue when performing some edits on the methodology with it. I can't always determine what causes this, but sometimes the editor removes the following line from all the work item queries:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
...so for example the AllWorkItems.wiq file is changed from this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WorkItemQuery Version="1">
<Wiql>SELECT [System.Id], [System.WorkItemType], [System.State], [System.AssignedTo], [System.Title] FROM WorkItems
WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project
ORDER BY [System.WorkItemType], [System.Id]
</Wiql>
</WorkItemQuery>
...to this:
<WorkItemQuery Version="1">
<Wiql>SELECT [System.Id], [System.WorkItemType], [System.State], [System.AssignedTo], [System.Title] FROM WorkItems
WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project
ORDER BY [System.WorkItemType], [System.Id]
</Wiql>
</WorkItemQuery>
What ultimately happens is you are allowed to import the methodology into the server with no problems. However, when you try to make a project with it you get an exception when it attempts to import these queries like the following:

Has anyone else encountered this? If I add this line back in things work correctly again. Is this a bug or am I using the tool wrong?
