Unable to create test case in desired folder

For some reason Studio won’t let me create a test case from a workflow and put it in the Tests folder as I create it. It forces me to create it and then manually move it over. This is a PITA, and seems like an easy fix.

@Terry_Marr

did you try selecting the folder here

The image shows a "New Test Case" creation window in UiPath with a test case named "TestCase" located in "D:iPathoboticEnterpriseFramework". (Captioned by AI)

Yes, of course I did. But I get an error – a red exclamation point, and the message “Workflow has to be created in a subfolder of the project directory”. You must create it in place, and then move it manually.

Again, I just want to create it in the \Tests subfolder. This seems like a simple fix.

@Terry_Marr

as per error looks like you are using or selecting a folder which is outside the current project folder

looks like you are creating outside in a different project or outside project

because i did create is a different folder but within same project

or the case might be that because you are using onedrive as location it might be considering as outside prohect folder…can check by creating a project in a local folder with no onedrive

cheers

Hi @Terry_Marr,

I am able to create the same under Tests folder, please see below:

And below after test case is created under Tests:

The image shows a UiPath workflow designer interface with a TestCase sequence containing Given, When, and Then steps, where an Invoke Workflow File activity is set to call "Main.xaml". (Captioned by AI)

@Terry_Marr,

I am able to reproduce the error you are getting:

A "New Test Case" dialog box is shown in UiPath with fields for "Name," "Location," based on "BDD Test Case," but shows an error related to the location needing to be in a subfolder of the project directory. (Captioned by AI)

Here’s how I did it:

  1. I am in a project A.
  2. I right clicked on a workflow in project A and select Create test case.
  3. Then under the location for that, I provided name of another project B/tests folder
  4. And the error showed.

I think you might be doing the same thing.

Could you please check if the project->tests folder you are providing under location is the same where you are trying to create a test case?

Yes, I want to be able to consolidate all tests under a /Tests subfolder up at the project level. so… ProjectName/Tests. This is the way REFramework has organized their tests. Why can’t I do this easily?

@Terry_Marr,

Please read my above post(linking it here as well again). I think while selecting a location, you are by mistake selecting test folder of another project instead of the one you are currently in and trying to create your test case in.

That’s why error is popping up for you.
