playback now does entire project instead of single function

I'm testing an internal company website using scripts (Javascript). Everything has been going well but all of a sudden when I try to playback a single test, Test Complete is playing back the entire project.

For instance I'm trying to playback a single function. I select the function and hit the playback button and it starts playing back the entire project.

I tried right clicking and using the 'Run current routine' but it still kicks off a project playback.

Did I alter a setting somehow with out realizing it (accidental hot key)?

Ok so got the solution from the Ticket.

Rookie Scripting mistake/friday thinking about the weekend maybe??

I had the following in my common functions script

exports.SPLogin = SPLogin();

it should've been

module.exports.SPLogin = SPLogin():

thanks everyone for the help!

Would you post a screenshot or video of what you're doing to run the function?

  Capture.png shows highlighting a function, right clicking and then selecting the run current routine
  
  Capture1.PNG shows selecting a function from the options
  
  Capture2PNG shows pressing the play button with the selected function from the dropdown.

    OK... Do you have an OnStartTest event handler defined?
    
    If so, what script routine or keyword test is it pointing to?
    
    It's possible that, somehow, you have that handler pointing to whatever main routine executes your entire project. When you run even the "Run current routine" option, it fires the OnStartTest event handler so that COULD be what's going on.

What do you mean under "Test Complete is playing back the entire project". What is your whole project? Could you make a screenshot of you project test items?

  Does you try to run your script routine from the Project Explorer tree ?
  - Select the wanted script in Project Suite tree
  - Right-click on it
  - Highlight the Run menu item and unfold its sub-items
  - Click on the desired routin to play
  
  Is it playing all Project Suite also with this method ?

    Yes even doing it the way you describes kicks off the project run.
