Cannot rename lvtest file

[andrej]

Hi,

I cannot rename (Right-click a .lvtest file and select Rename from the shortcut menu) .lvtest file in LV2013. I'm I doing something wrong here?

Example is attached.

I have LV2013 and cannot duplicate your problem.  It renames fine for me in the Project Explorer window.  The entire folder was read only when I unzipped it and I had to change that but that could be a side effect of the zip file.

Talking to Andrej, he was able to rename lvtest file, after the PC was restarted. Probably some resources were blocked. Restarting PC, unblocked the resources.

Andrej

After a little bit of additional playing I found out how the problem is reproduced. If I add a new unit test (right click -> New -> Unit test) or adds existing one (right click -> Add - > File... -> select lvtest file), I cannot rename the lvtest file. But if I restart Labview, then I can rename it. Renaming affects only newly created or added lvtest files, other lvtest files that are in the project can be renamed as expected.

Also you cannot rename an lvtest file if it is inside auto-populating folder, even if you restart Labview.

The only workaround I came up with is to close Labview and rename lvtest files in a file browser and then start Labview again. Pretty annoying.

I just started with using the Unit Test Framework. If I see such things, that I cannot do basic things as renaming it I just get the impression this Framework is not very well elaborated. Please National Instrument, fix these things!!
