I am using project specific python libraries which is in my project folder structure.

I have configured my working directory path in Tools–\> preferences–\> PythonPath

Still i could see the library import fail (red colour).

Possible to get the support?

Hello @srajara3

I modified the title of your question and removed from section Libraries, because the question is not specific for Libraries (known).

The error log you show, clearly identifies the problem: **environment variable TEAM\_NAME is not defined**  
You need to follow instructions or contact the maker of that library (_UserXmlReporting.py_) about its use.

Hello @HelioGuilherme66  
Thank you very much for your quick response, i have configured my work directory in the Tools–\> Preferences–\> Python Path.  
Now the import error for " UserXmlReporting.py" is resolved.
