What is the locatioin Namemapping file in TestComplete project

Hi,
Initially the path of Namemapping file was "ProjectNameFolder\NamemappingFolder\"
But automatically the path has changed to "C:\Users\UserFolder\Videos"

Does anyone noticed this change, what is the reason to change is this path.

Can we again change this path back to some custom path?

Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Shrirang

    The only thing I can think of is to check the .mds file in the project in question and see where the name mapping node is pointing.  The below is from one of my projects that seems to be maintaining the name mapping file in the same location as the project.

         <Prp name="relpath" type="S" value="NameMapping\NameMapping.tcNM"/>

    Hi Shrirang,


     


    The Name Mapping file is located in the correct place on my computer - ProjectNameFolder\NamemappingFolder\. Most probably, you saved the file in your project to this location by mistake. Can you create a new project and check where the file is created?

    Hi Tanya,

    I know I will get NM file at correct path for new project, but now How can I change the path of my existing NM file back to original location of current project?

    Thanks for the reply.

    Thanks,

    Bingo! Thanks Eero.

    Oh How can I ignore the project file. This should have come to my mind earlier.

    But anyway, having different path of NameMapping file seems to work well for us as getting update from SVN does not merge the NM file properly.

    If the NM file path is kept at its usual location then we will certainly face issues.

    So we merge the file later from within TestComplete after getting update.

    Thanks anyway.
