Renamed endpoints

I use ready api and developed a composite project to test rest api. I have added multiple endpoints under Apis. Then I renamed the service(APIs navigator tree) as similar to the test suite that I used...

    There are some APIs I did not rename as similar to the test suite name. These APIs and test cases remain as it is.

    Hey Manijem,

    Before the commit/merge are you ensuring you are saving after the rename before you do the push? I know youd expect a save to occur as part of the push but id hit the save first just to be sure. I gotta admit, the fact that the renamed apis are disappearing makes me think youve found a defect, but we need to be sure.

    As an exercise to determine exactly the boundaries of your issue, id try the following tests.

    1. Rename apis, create tests against renamed APIs, HIT SAVE! then close down ReadyAPI! (without the commit/merge) and relaunch ReadyAPI! and check the state of the renamed apis.
    Are the APIs still present?
    Are the associated test cases still present?
    Do the commit/merge
    Pull the latest code back into ReadyAPI!.
    Check the state of the renamed APIs/associated tests....are they both still present?

    2. Create APIs, create tests, save, then commit/merge.
    Pull the merged version back
    Rename APIs, create a new test against renamed API, save, then commit/merge.
    Pull the latest version back.
    Check the state of the renamed APIs/associated tests....are they both still present?
    Are the tests that were created against the API (before it was renamed) still present?

    According to the detail youve provided, youre doing the renaming of the APIs via API Navigator rather than via the Projects tab. Can you follow my instructions above, but this time do the renaming of the APIs via the Projects tab rather than renaming via the API Navigator frame? (Dont forget to hit Save!).

    I'm ezpecially interested in the tests associated with the API and whether they are present after youve pulled from git. The tests are child objects of the APIs, so you cant delete the API without delete the tests also, so if it is a defect it sounds like bit of a whopper.

    Cheers,

    Rich

Thank you very much for your answers. Actually, I have followed the same steps that I mentioned in the below. As per the documentation, it may be wrong. But I just try to fix the mistake.

(Ready api latest version I used )
1. I created a composite project
2. Then I got two sections like APIs and etc.
3. I selected APIs and right click - add api.
4. Select endpoints tab .
5. Select http method and enter only service location.
Eg : http://dummy.restapiexample.com

Url : http://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1/employees

6. Then, navigate environments editor panel.
7. Here, click rest service tab, then I can see the added service as name.
8. Against the service name , under the endpoint column , I added /api/v1/employees

(Eg : This is url
http://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1/employees)

9. Again, in the APIs navigation tree, I renamed this "http://dummy.restapiexample.com" as similar to the test suite name that I am going to create. Renamed like employee.

10. Then, i created test suite and given the like employee and added test steps. Linked to added APIs.

11. The same thing I repeated basically in the whole project.

12. When I committed the code into git , api folders are missing. In the local repo also.

Thank you.
