Title: QATK unable to read files
Post by: AsifShah on March 25, 2023, 12:10

Dear ADmin,

I have observed that sometimes QATK is unable to read files upon restarting as shown below in the attached pic.

This has happened many times. Please let me know what is the issue?

It also shows some source scanning error. More than 100000 files in /directory

Yes, the scanning is the problem. Do not set your project directory to your home directory with 100,000 files, use a specific subdirectory for each project, and keep the number of files in each directory small (<1000 is fine, even a bit more).

I agree with the recommendation that you should create a sub-folder for each  project with a limited number of files, but with the new framework, you can go up to the limit of 100,000 files per project without significant performance degradation.
