Share NameMapping, scripts unit working with team

Hello, I was thinking about how best to reuse NameMapping and script with other projects, so that a change in one project reflects on another project. File jpg is attachment.   So, only map objects...
Name Mapping
Script Extensions

    Hi,

     

    This is probably the best way.

    One thing to know and remember: all files that are part of TestComplete project (except script units to certain extent) are not mergeable and must be marked as binaries in source control system.

    Hi,

     

    > did you see shareNameMappingScripts.jpg ?

    Yes, I saw it.

    Not sure if I got the question, but nevertheless:

    -- Script code from other project(s) can be reused by utilizing the 'Add Existing' functionality;

    -- Only one NameMapping/Aliases file can exist in the project, thus you will have to physically merge NameMapping files from other project(s) into the project where you'd like to use 'combined' NameMapping.

    Hi, AlexKaras it's ok. Now i see a problem to share, the folder Visualizer inside of TestProject1\Script has almost 100 MB, and to share with TestProject2 take a time.

    It's possible delete this folder or their images ?

    Thank you.

      Yes, the folder may be deleted or just ignored and not included into source control system.

      As it is said in the https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/integration/scc/files.html :

      "[...] keeping Test Visualizer files in the source control is not recommended due to their large overall file size. Doing so can degrade performance of the check out and check in operations on your test project. [...]"
