Move .lvtest file on disk

[dpnsw]

I am refactoring and trying to move some .lvtest files into a new directory and having problems.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I was going to ask how best to do this but right now any way to do it would be an improvement

Many thanks

One way to do it is to move the .lvtest files to the new directory and then open them with notepad and readjust their relative path to the VI under test.

The path to the VI under test can be relative.

Open one of the lvtest with notepad before moving them and check if the path to the VI under test is relative or not. Try changing it (from relative to full path or from full to relative) and verify that you can still open the lvtest via LabVIEW. Once you know you can do this change, you can do what I outline above.

I don't know if this is the best way, but it definitely a way

Fabulous!

That works.

The only other thing I needed to do was

1. Close the project
2. Copy the .lvtest file to the directory I want it in.
3. Edit the copied file with text editor (exactly as per your instructions) VI under test (top of file) and Setup and Teardown paths (bottom of file)
4. Re-open the project
5. Right Click and remove the old lvtest file from the project
6. In the project folder I want the moved .lvtest file in I just right click and add file

All working and the editing means I don't get the breakage I was having by choosing different VI's

Brilliant!

Thank you

If memory serves I've used the rename function to change the disk location but kept the filename the same. This seems to update the relative referencing.
