How to copy a keywordttest

Hi,



How can I copy my keyword tests w/o the visualizer images?



Thanks,

Hi,





You can manually copy the needed keyword test file (*.tcKDTest) via Windows Explorer, right-click the 'KeywordTests' entry in the 'Project Explorer' panel of TC and select 'Add | Existing Item...'. Specify the copied keyword test file in the dialog that appears. This short video demonstrates how to copy a keyword test using only TC.

Thanks David,



You can also do this in windows explorer without testcomplete. But the main issue is that the images are not copied.

Hi Ronald,





Please note that copying a test to a project's KeywordTests folder using Windows Explorer will not actually add the test to the project.





As for the issue with Visualizer images, we're planning to fix it in the next TestComplete update.

Hi.  I've found that you can copy a test without leaving TC by right clicking on the test, choosing Save As, and typing in the new name.  You will then have to right-click on the Keyword Tests section, choose Add - Existing Item, and add the previous test back in, but this may save a couple of keystrokes.



Hope this helps.  - matt

Hi Matt,



I know this is possible, but the images are not copied.

This seems to work. At least for a simple keywordtest.



Rightklick your KeywordTest oldtest you wish to duplicate and SaveAS newtest.

Your test is now copied but the images are gone. In Explorer ./KeywordTests/Visualizer/newtest  you only see newtest.tcKDT.tcVIS and no images.

Now look in ./KeywordTests/Visualizer/oldtest. Copy all files to ./KeywordTests/Visualizer/newtest

Now delete newtest.tcKDT.tcVIS (first copy the name...) and rename oldtest.tcKDT.tcVIS to newtest.tcKDT.tcVIS

Look in Testcomplete and you'll see your images are back at newtest.



Now you can Rightklick KeywordTests and use Add/Existing Item to get your oldtest back.



I tested this procedure with some small tests (I don't have any large ones jet) and it seemes to work.

Hi Support,



Now, one year later, did you fix it?


I'm using TestComplete Version 8.60.665.7
