Import Test Project from a Remote Repository

Last Modified:

The Test Project collects all your test-related data, including test cases and Connections.

You must have a Test Project set up before creating or running any test cases in Automation. 

Before creating a test project, you’ll need to have a workspace. If you do not have the Provar Launcher window and need to create a new workspace or select a different workspace, visit the File Menu and select Switch Workspace.

Create a name for your workspace and select Launch.

If you have an existing remote repository and are working with Git, click Import from Source Control on the Welcome to Provar screen. 

Select Import from Git on the next page.

This will display the Select Repository Source screen.

Select Clone URI to clone a remote repository into a local directory. Click Next >.

Enter your repository location. This may be either SHH or HTTPS URI available in your repository’s information.

Pasting in the URI will fill in the host, repository path, and protocol. 

  • If you are using HTTPS you will need a Personal Access Token instead of your password. 
  • If you’re using SSH, you’ll need an SSH key. 

Store in the secret store to prevent the need to reenter on each commit/push/pull/sync/etc.

Select the branch(es) to clone to your local machine. You can decide if you want to include tags, tags and their commits, or no tags at all. Click Next >  when you’re ready. 

Click Browse and select your workspace as the destination directory. Click Next > to continue.

On the next screen, select the desired import process. The default option, Import existing Eclipse projects, is recommended. Click Next >  to continue.

The next screen will display the available Test Projects in the repository. Confirm your selections and click Finish to import.

Repository files will be loaded into the Provar Automation test project workspace.

To switch to a working branch:

Once you have cloned the Project from the remote repository, consider whether you need to create a new branch for your work. This will depend on the workflow your team is following.
