Hello All,

I save my test script into below path,

Path:--C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\CompanyProjects\project1\ModulesForProject1\ModuleOne\TabsForModuleOne\TabOne\Publishtab\TestScript\Publish.qfl.

But when i click on open and browse upto the folder and select .qfl file it wont open and QTP crashed and stop working,
Can anybody please let me know hoe to handle this

Thanks

Hi Upadhyay40,

Fyi , you have saved the Quick Test Functional library(.qfl) not the Test script.

Hope You might have done the following:
After opening QTPFile-->New-->Function Library& wrote some code and saved into your location and hence it got stored as .qfl(Quick Test Functional library).
Then you tried to open a .qfl file which infact is not a test script from File-->Open-->Test and hence QTP crashed and stop working.

Instead do the following:
After opening QTPFile-->New-->Test & write some code and saved into required location.
Test script would be saved as an folder.
Now you Open the test script from File-->Open-->Test & browse the test script from required location, it opens the test script which you have created

In Addition to Sreekanth's reply

make sure you are opening a library file (.qfl) using File > Open > Function Library
select your publish.qfl file.

It should open the file.

Hello Saket/Shreekant

Thanks for the reply, I saved the test script in particular testscript folder & .qfl(Quick Test Functional library) into function liabrary folder, but the problem is just because of long path which i mentioned, when i put the same folder into C:\ drive i am able to open the script and .qfl(Quick Test Functional library).

Thanks

bit strange for me, on which QTP version you are working on.
I am on 10.0 and able to open a library file from the location which path is quite more longer than yours.

Hi saket,

I am working on QTP 10.0 the same, but its evaluation version so may be they gave some limited functionality.

Thanks

I dont think it is restricted there in evaluation version.
you can raise a case at HP for this.
