Project Explorer Context Menu

Applies to TestComplete 15.47, last modified on January 20, 2023

The Project Explorer panel’s context menu provides commands to manage the project suite, projects and their logs displayed as tree structures in the panel. To invoke the context menu, right-click within the panel or select an item in the panel and right-click the item. The set of commands available to you in the menu depends on the item currently selected in the panel.

The available commands are:

New Item Adds a new child item to the selected item.
Existing Item Adds an existing project item stored in an external file, or an arbitrary file (for example, an Excel workbook or a .csv file with test data).
New Folder Adds a new folder to the current item. Custom folders can be used to organize items displayed in the Project Explorer panel. For more information on this, see Organizing Items Into Folders.
Add | Existing Log File Adds an existing log file to the selected log folder. This command is available only if the selected item is a log folder. For more information on importing logs, see details.
