    Really, what you should do is move shared procedures to a third unit. Call that unit "Framework" or something similar, and reference it from both your A and B.

Hi Hugo, I did a quick test on how you have your project set up and I think the problem you are having is that when tests within a Project run, Test Complete only looks in that Project for referenced Script Units.


 


For example, if the following Projects/Script Units exist:


 


ProjectA


Unit1A


 


ProjectB


Unit1B


 


ProjectC


Unit1C


 


and the following references are realised with //USEUNIT


 


1. ProjectB.Unit1B references ProjectA.Unit1A


2. ProjectC.Unit1c references ProjectB.Unit1B


 


then, in order for ProjectC.Unit1c to run, ProjectC must have references to both ProjectB.Unit1B AND ProjectA.Unit1A because ProjectC has no way of evaluating that the Script Unit Unit1A that Script Unit ProjectB.Unit1B references exists in ProjectA.


 


Hope this helps,
