This message appears if TestComplete cannot open the project suite or project because some of its elements have non-unique key identifiers.
This can happen, for example, if a project contains a project item or project item child element that already exists in another project in the project suite. Some project items or their child elements cannot be shared among projects that belong to the same project suite. For more information, see Sharing Project Items and Their Child Elements Among Several Projects.
To resolve the issue, you may have to fix your project suite or project manually. For example, you can try to do the following:
-
Open the folder where the project suite (or project) is located.
-
Locate files corresponding to project elements that cause the conflict and rename them (see Project and Project Suite Files files).
-
Open the project suite (or project) in TestComplete.
-
TestComplete will display the 'Unable to create the node_name element …' error message. Click OK to open the project suite (project) anyway.
-
Project elements whose files were renamed will be marked as unavailable.
-
Remove unavailable nodes and save the changes.
-
Restore the renamed files and add them to the project. See Adding and Removing Project Items and Their Child Elements.
To avoid identifier conflicts when sharing project items among projects, consider recommendations listed in the Sharing Project Items and Their Child Elements Among Several Projects topic.
