How do I change the timeouts of the repository : Automation Tools

[Craig]

We run Ranorex tests on automated build machines. On one of the machines, we're seeing failures that I believe are due to test timeouts being too short. I see that in the repository configuration dialog, I can change repository timeout defaults. However, when I change them, I don't see how my rxrep file updated to reflect the timeout changes.

As we have several test machines, I don't want to spend time manually changing settings in the Ranorex UI on each box. Is there a way I change timeout values either globally in code or in the rxrep file?

Thanks,

Hi,

have a look at following link which might help you solving your issue:

Not quite. To rephrase, let's say I have a validation failure like:

Attribute 'Text' of element for item 'FormImport_Tables.TreeTreeView.TextDbo' does not match the specified value (Failed to find item 'FormImport_Tables.TreeTreeView.TextDbo' within the specified timeout of 10s.).

How do I make that timeout be 20s for all items in my repository? Is there a way I can do it in code-behind or with a settings file? I tried changing the RanorexConfig2.xml's repository.itemtimeout setting to 20s but that had no impact.

Hi,

To afterwards change the search timeouts you can mark all items inside the repository (<ctrl><a>) and set the timeout through the property grid.
If you set the timeout on the setting screen, this is then only valid for the future generated items inside the repo.
