Message - Could not add a child element from the file_name file.

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

This message is displayed when you are trying to load a project or project item from a file and one of the following errors occur:

  • The file contents are corrupt.

  • The project item already has a child element with the same name.

  • The project is not a TestComplete 15 project (for instance, the project file was created in TestComplete 3 and earlier). You cannot add projects created in TestComplete 3 and earlier to a project suite. To open a project created in an earlier version, select File | Open from the TestComplete main menu.

  • The plugin that is needed to process the file is not installed. To solve the problem, install the needed plugin and try opening the project again.
