Cannot rename many testcases since upgrading to SoapUI 3.5

I seemed to have lost the ability to rename testcases in many cases.  If I attempt to, I get the error:

"Renaming failed. Problem with file system. File with new name already exits!"

It doesn't matter what I rename them too, it thinks the file already exists (it doesn't).  I can clone the testcase and name it the same name I was going to rename it to successfully.  A sample is here:

Valid order is any number id, parentid and ownerid is ignored

Trying to rename it to anything at all returns that error.  File System shows:

Valid-order-is-any-number-id%2C-parentid-and-ownerid-is-ignored.xml

What's interesting is testcases I had previously renamed, can no longer be renamed. 

Note:  I cleaned up the test suite and did a save as on the project to attempt to get rid of the duplicate testcase issue. 

Why is this happening and what can be done to resolve it?

Thanks,

Mary

  • Hello,

    It is a safety check that you do not overwrite already existing test case file. Basically when you rename a test case it checks what would be a file name and if there is a file with that name( normalized ) you get this message.

    Can you send me an sample ( test suite ) with this error, so I can reproduce it?

    Hope this helps,

  • Hello,

    I realized a scenario that could be confusing, test case that is cloned was possible to rename to existing test case, which is an error. Also, managed to realize and reproduce error you are getting, that is fixed too. Check upcoming nightly build.

    Let me know does it helps, sorry for bugs
