File and folder names get random characters in 5.1.1?
Hi there,
I did a quick scan of the forums and can't see any reference to this specifically (other than that Windows users appear to be running into max file name issues when upgrading?).
I logged a support case, but figure it might make sense to put it on the forum in case I'm missing the obvious.
We are trying to upgrade from 4.6 to 5.1.1 - and are aware the (composite) project needs to be converted. We can work around this, however in 5.1.1 it seems all the test suite and test file names get a bunch of random characters attached to them... Which is causing havoc with out source control system.
Fortunately we are on Mac machines, I see Windows users are running into max filename size issues...
Sample: this testsuite used to be "190---Issues" now it is on the filesystem: 190---Issues-4a463548-9ed0-41c0-a931-eae76387e855
1) Is this expected or a bug of some sort?
2) Is there any way this can be turned off to the old behaviour?
3) If this is expected and cannot be changed - can we at least be guaranteed that these seemingly random strings are consistent? Ie - if a colleague grabs the project and save it, the file and folder names will be the same?
Regards,
Ton
