Message - File writing error on remote PC.

The Network Suite functionality is deprecated. We don’t recommend using it for distributed testing. Consider using a CI/CD system for managing distributed tests. See Migrating Distributed Tests to CI/CD Systems for details. In case you need to run web tests on multiple environments in parallel, you can also try using your project’s Execution Plan.

This message is displayed if TestComplete is unable to copy a test project to a remote computer. The following are the possible causes of the problem:

  • The path to the remote location (it is specified by the Base path parameter) to which the project will be copied is invalid. For example:

    • The specified disk does not exist.

    • The path exceeds the Windows maximum path length (260 characters).

    • The path includes invalid characters (< > : " / \ | ? *).

    • The path coincides with reserved device names (such as con or nul).

    To resolve the problem, specify a valid path in the Base path parameter. For Windows folder naming rules, please see the Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces article in the MSDN library.

  • The user account specified by the Domain, User name and Password parameters does not have permissions to create files in the Base path folder on the remote computer. To resolve the problem, specify another remote folder to copy the test project to, or ask your system administrator to grant that user account the necessary permissions.

  • The test project files already exist in the Base path folder on the remote computer, and the existing files cannot be overwritten. For example:

    • The existing files are read-only. To resolve the problem, clear the read-only attribute of the existing files or delete these files manually.

    • The existing files are locked by another application. To resolve the problem, close any running applications on the remote computer that may use these files and that you do not need at the moment.
