    Hello wvdzwetTM , debrouth 

     

    You might reference the content in link:

    https://community.smartbear.com/t5/ReadyAPI-Questions/Composite-project-warning-file-has-not-been-loaded/m-p/190942

     

    I saw the same issue in my project a few days ago and following the instructions from Tanya (To fix the issue) in the link, the warning log messages were resolved.

     

    In short, the reason could be caused by multiple people making changes to a repository based composite project and/or multiple people with different versions of ReadyAPI working on the same composite project.  All users accessing a composite project should be on the same ReadyAPI version.   If not on the very latest version (3.20.1), consider updating to it because it resolves security vulnerability found in the log4j library that has been in the news lately.

The reason for the pipeline failing turned out to be something entirely different in my case

 

Pipeline is running now even though these error messages are still there. Using ReadyAPI 3.10.2

 

It looks like ReadyAPI is looking for API definitions and testcases that have been deleted from the project. I found that when I add them again to the project, some of the references to missing files disappear.

 

Still, strange that there is no one from Smartbear who is able to tell us where this error comes from.
