Message - The folder_name folder you specified in the Script Extension settings contains unpacked extension files.

Applies to TestComplete 15.73, last modified on March 04, 2025

TestComplete displays this message when it loads script extensions and finds out that one of the folders directly contains unpacked script extension files. This happens, for example, if you place the script extension files (unpacked) in the C:\TC Script Extensions\MyExtension folder and add that folder to the Script Extensions Folders list in TestComplete Script Extensions Options. The reason for this is that each Script Extensions Folders item is supposed to be a container of extensions (both packed and unpacked) rather than a container of unpacked extension files. This means that unpacked source files of script extensions must reside in subfolders of the Script Extensions Folders.

To solve the problem, do any of the following:

  • Package your script extension into a .tcx file (see Deploying Script Extensions).

  • In the Script Extensions Folders list, replace the name of the problematic folder with the name of its parent folder. In the case given, the correct search path is C:\TC Script Extensions.

  • Create a subfolder in the problematic folder and move the extension’s source files to that subfolder. In the case given, you could move the extension files to the C:\TC Script Extensions\MyExtension\Files subfolder, so that C:\TC Script Extensions\MyExtension becomes a correct search path.
