Hi Robert

 

I'm really interested in following this at some point as I'd like to move a number of keyword test items (and associated files) to a new project.

 

Following on from reading the below in your post, I would like to know how you reference a specific NameMapping file from a project?

 

"What I've found works best is, just like was done with the keyword tests and scripts, create a "Common\NameMapping" folder and put a single NameMapping file in that folder that all my projects reference."

 

Thanks,

Jenny

In a project that doesn't already have a NameMapping file, right click on the project node in the project explorer, click Add -> Existing Item, browse to the desired NameMapping file and select it.

    Thanks!

     

    And if it does have a NameMapping file already? I assume you need to Remove it before adding an existing file?

      Corrrect.  Only one name mapping file is allowed per project.
