We are using templates to capture only the unique properties of objects we are adding to the map.  After looking into our name map a little bit deeper, we found that the line below had been added to our name map ~2.5 million times. Deleting these lines reduced the name map to around 3,000 KB, which is much more manageable. I believe that there might be a bug in how TestComplete handles the name map in the repository.

Wow!

 

That sounds like a bug to me!

    Guys, here is a possible workaround:

    - Switch the "Store Code Completion information" option in your Name Mapping file to "Brief";

    - Save changes;

    - Switch it to "Do  not store";

    - Save changes.

     

    This will remove the extra information and the file will become much smaller. Our Devs are trying to reproduce this situation to create a patch. So, if somebody knows how to reproduce it, please respond to this thread or open a case with Support and mention this thread.

     

    Thanks!
