How to copy steps from one recording to another? : General Questions

[dabramov]

I would like to reuse a number of steps from one recording to another and I was thinking of selecting the steps and doing copy and paste but that doesn't seem to be working. Is there a way to do it?


Ideally it would be great to be able to do a "Custom" command to let's say clear a text box. For example:

1. Play: <Ctrl-rightArrow><Shift><Ctrl-leftArrow><Backspace>
2. Validate the control is blank

Hi,

With the next version 2.1 the Ranorex Recorder will provide the ability to create user code actions to reuse existing functionality or external methods within recordings.

Maybe this feature could help to create your custom commands.

kind regards,

That would work. If you found a way to support DevComponents I would be sold.

Hi,

We've analyzed DevComponents controls and the ability to automate them with Ranorex. Generally, Ranorex is able to automate all DevComponents controls.

But in cases of context menus Ranorex Recorder does not support to recognize all items out of box. In such cases you'll have to track and prepare all required items (RanoreXPath) for automation manually with Ranorex Spy or directly within the recordings repository browser.

kind regards,

Hello, just to inform myself, it is not possible to copy/paste a step from a recording as in TestComplete?

I clicked the button "User Code" in the upper right and in Recording1.cs I could copy paste a step,
but the Recording1.rxrec was not updated with the new additional step.
When I reopened the .cs the step was removed by Ranorex.

I am not trying to copy steps from Recording1 to Recording2, I am talking about only one recording.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry but it's not possible to copy steps in a recording. But it's already on our feature list.
