Unable to run a Test Class

[Karvannan Viswanathan]

Running a specific test class results in all test methods being ignored. The following is the error in console.

Error 403/Forbidden - INVALID_INPUT: This class name's value is invalid:

Somehow the name of the project gets prefixed to the test class as if it is a namespace and because of that the test classes were being ignored. Since the test classes will not be in the namespace. I created a new project which solved the issue.

Hi. Sorry for coming into this late. Did you happen to have a namespace set in sfdx-project.json in the original project? Or did the connected org have a namespace?

[Karvannan Viswanathan]

There is no namespace in the connected org. I checked the sfdx-project.json, there was no namespace set there either. I noticed this issue with running the test class after I had to reopen the project because of the IDE upgrade and I guess something got messed up during that time. I was able to retrieve and deploy without any issue. This is a sfdx project with manifest.

Interesting. It sounds like you're in good shape now, but if you do see that behavior ever again, please let me know so I can gather some diagnostic logs and try to understand what's going on. Namespaces should only ever be inferred from the org itself or from the sfdx-project.json file. Well, in the OST they're also inferred from the directory structure, but not in the local project sources. Thanks for the additional info...

Sure. Thanks Scott !
