I'm getting an Xray error and it says I need to reindex my project.

We are getting this error on our X-ray test repository 

Invalid issues in Folder

Some of the issues in the folder are not of issue type Test. We recommend that you perform a re-index of the following project:

It says to reindex.  I'm not sure which option to follow.  Are there any risk with re-indexing?  Are there any precautions that we need to take before we do it?

Hi Sandra,

I have also see this error before and have done a reindex. I didn't have any issues doing so and it did resolve my issue.

I would recommend reading up on the Re-Indexing setting in the Xray User Guide if you would like additional detail. Please note this is for Xray Cloud, as Xray Server may have different documentation (you can navigate to it via the same link).

Hope that helps.

Thanks!
Rawan

i did reindex several times before but at the last time that i did that all the test that was under folders and subfolders moved to the root folder and this destroyed 3 years of working with the tool.

im currently trying to look for undo for the procedure

This still happens, but only for preconditions in our case. Anyone know if this is being looked at?
