Fix access to data from customised project storage locations
I am trying the software “birt-report-designer-all-in-one-4.9.0-20220315-linux.gtk.x86_64.zip” out also together with files which were stored in a customised directory for the report project “BIRT-Probe”. I configured a data set and a simple list layout within the file “Test_data1-20220328-B-list.rptdesign” as expected. I would like to view the report as the usual designer preview. Unfortunately, I got surprised by the following information.
- The report file : Test_data1-20220328-B-list.rptdesign does not exist or contains errors.
org.eclipse.birt.report.exception.ViewerException: The report file : Test_data1-20220328-B-list.rptdesign does not exist or contains errors.

:crystal_ball: How will the chances evolve to fix affected software components?
Do you get a similar error if you use the menu Run / View Report / As HTML? or ... / As PDF?
It is important that you create a "Report Project" where you store your *.rptdesign files
(Note: the screenshots are from BIRT 4.2.1)
and that the resources which your reports use (*.rptlibrary and *.js files and images) can be found
In my case, I am using a project folder xxx/birt for the reports and a sub-directory xxx/birt/res for the resources.

Yes.

I thought that I did this.
