exception found when set text value of text : Automation API

[hobli]

Hi, ranorex team,

I am encountering this problem when I try to set textvalue of a text element in firefox form:

Ranorex.SetAttributeFailedException: Setting attribute 'text' failed on element '{Text:text area title}'

Pls look at the html file attached. I am using the following to code try to change the value of text area:

Code: Select all

Dim temp As ranorex.Text
temp = "/form[@title='tt - Mozilla Firefox']/container/element/container/text[@accessiblename='text area title']"
temp.TextValue = "aa"


additon information: I am using Ranorex 2.3.1

I can not use textareaTag.innerText due to an issue described in other post:

thanks

Hi,

Please don't use the form of Firefox to automate web elements, always use the DOM document which is provided from Ranorex. As I said in the other postings, the bug fix, which is delivered in Ranorex Service Release, will allow you to automate this controls in Firefox.
