Sharing NameMapping from one project to another in the same project suite won't work

Hi, I have a project suite and have a few projects inside, in the first project I have a NameMapping that is working fine, I've shared this NameMapping to another project, and what a wonder it won't...

Hi 8kit and thanks for the reply.

 

I did use right-click the project and choose Add>Existing Item but didn't work as expected.

 

I wonder if that could happen for a different reason I edited my NameMapping file. I did change (drag and drop) things not only in the Aliases bit but also in the System bit. I wouldn't expect that not to happen as it allowed.

I would start by opening both projects with the 'shared' name mapping and see how TestComplete is recognizing the same object in each project. The merge reference link I posted earlier has a good example on conflict resolution. You can also try using conditional mapping to add logical identifiers [see here]. Ideally you want to only change 1 master NameMapping file and merge into your other projects. See another thread [here]
