I used "Exclude from Project" on some tests, now I want one back...

[Doug]

I had several tests for stories that became 'obsolete'. I used "Exclude from Project" on those tests. Now I'd like to resurrect one or two of those tests. How does one go about un-excluding a test from the project?

If there is an official way, hopefully someone tells us.

Unofficially (unless it is the official way!), Close your project in TS and find your "Settings.aiis" file in the root of your project.  Copy/take a backup.  Open in your favorite editor.  Towards the end you will find: '"ExcludedFiles":[]'.  Remove the entries between the []'s and save the file.  Open the project, tests, should be back.

Thanks much, Daniel.

That worked just fine. And it saved me from trying to reproduce the test!

We'll see if there is an 'official' way to do it, or not. I would think that the parent folder right-click menu would would have a way to retrieve excluded or something like that. I haven't found it....

Hello Doug/Daniel,

The preferred method would be to choose 'Add Existing Test...' from the context menu of a project or folder node while in Project View, the option is depicted here in our documentation.

Please let me know whether you have any additional questions.

Takes all the fun out of it :)  But thinking about it now, that makes complete sense.  Thanks Mario!
