Local Variable panel & temp log : Automation Tools

[Pixi6s]

Hello,

When I am debugging and it stops at a break point in my user code, sometimes I can edit my variables in the "local variable" section with no issues. Other variables I cannot. This is making it really hard to test the negative cases to make sure my code is sound.

Do you know why some local variables would not allow editing?


Logs:

In a previous post someone had suggested that I can view logs from stopped runs by manually opening the log temp that is created. Where would I find this temp file?

thanks

Are you using Ranorex Studio or Visual Studio?
Can you determine a difference between what variables you can versus can't modify during debugging?

It depends on if you selected a location for the log or not. By default I believe the temp log gets put in the directory where your test was launched from.

I am in Ranorex 3.0.4.

There are no recent files in the Ranorex3.0 folder and I don't see any temp files in the project folder anywhere...

Looks like I can edit All the Integers mid run but no strings or other variables. Is this on purpose?

It should be in the folder where the compiled test is launched from, not the Ranorex installation folder.

Yes, currently only integers can be edited in the "Watch" pad. Nevertheless, you can set new values to e.g. string variables by adding a new watch containing an assignment:

Code: Select all

myString = "newValue"

Or you use the Debug -> Console pad that allows you to execute code while debugging, e.g. the assignment above.
