    I had to re download all project files and then load them into ReadyAPI. Things started working after that. So, I don't know why this problem occurred.

Hey ,

Are there any special characters or spaces im the full path to the file?

Are there any special chars, especially illegal xml chars (e.g. chars that need escaping like the 5 xml entities) in any of the object names in your projects hierarchy?

Id double check and make sure there are none. It was quite a while ago but i had problem with paths in readyapi and once i removed dodgy chars/spaces my issue was resolved.

I'll look into it. I wish ReadyAPI could give me better error messages so that I can figure out issues easily.
