Error saving components that contain variables
Last Updated 5 months ago

Error description:
This occurs when trying to save a component (e.g., a set of steps) that contains one or more undefined or unresolved variables. Since saved components must be reusable and self-contained, AAT prevents saving the ones that depend on external unresolved values giving the error.
“Unable to save the test. The following components called are not located in the repository.”

Common cause:

  • Variables declared in other tests or configurations that are not present within the component to be saved.

  • Component designed to be dynamic but not correctly parameterized.

Recommended solution:

  • Use fixed values when saving components, or replace variables with concrete data before saving.

  • Alternatively, properly parameterize the component to accept variables as input during execution, not saving.

Note:
This validation ensures saved components are portable and won't fail due to missing external context when reused.
