Duplicate repository item keeps re-appearing.

Very randomly a duplicate repository item (no item in specific) may appear in my repository. This can cause some of my validations to fail as the duplicate item has the wrong X-path. Even if duplicate items are appearing - how is it possible that my validation action starts using a different repository item when I have already specified which repository item to use.

Before the duplicate appears - my validation works fine as the original item it is looking at has the correct path. Anyone have any ideas

Hi Peter,

Please answer the following questions...

What Ranorex version do you use?
Are you using some kind of source control system (which one/version)?
Is it just you who is working on the solution or there are some other people working on it?
Do you have an idea after what action the duplicate repo items appear (reloading solution, new recording/element tracking, checkout from version control system, etc.)?

Hi Pavel

We're removing the duplicate items - I'm not too sure where they've came from but they were always there since we started the project. Removing these and making sure our tests are linked to the correct repository item will resolve the problem.

Thank you.
