Cannot run a test cases pulled from repository
- 7 years ago
So, you've answered your question. When User3 did a NameMapping merge of files, it changed the mappings in some way so that the test case itself won't run properly. As noted in the message you received, the merging of the files resulted in some object mappings not resolving correctly requiring a manual review and potential correction. Since the manual review was not done and the file was checked into the repository un-checked, this is what caused your errors.
Solution: Go through your NameMapping file and work through correcting those mapped objects that need to be corrected so that the tests will run. As noted, this is not a problem with the repository but a process that needs to be followed when merging mapping files.
