Problems with "Validate" function : Automation API

[EugeneF]

I would like to validate some application conditions during of test.
I am using both - "Image Based" and GUI control based validation.
Both of them kind of flicky - some times they work, some times do not.
I increased Duration time, element wait time to 30s, I include "Invoke Action" for the element I am validating - no success.

Can you please help me to create more robust script.

Thanks.

Can you please help me to create more robust script.

• Therefore we need a detailed description about your element.
• A snapshot would be also very useful.
  How to create a Ranorex Snapshot
• And also your piece of code where you try to validate the item.
• Which Version of Ranorex do you use?
• What technology are you testing? Means, your Unit Under Test is WPF, WinForms...

Thanks in advance.

After using Validation function recorder reads the same control differently - please see attached files.
I have Ranorex 3.1.0.13946
The AUT is Windows application.

Hi,

Sorry for the late response and thank you for the files. But I would need the repository too to check the recording. Would it be possible to post us the repository too?

Hi,

I saw in your repository that the instance attribute is used in your RxPath. Is this attribute needed or not? If not please try to remove it, because this can cause issues by identifying the elements.

I do not think so I need the instance attribute, however, how come it creates the problem I have? Is it Ranorex bug, AUT bug or something in between?

It is hard to determine, I think the element is created dynamically from your software and maybe we evaluate the wrong RxPath in your Software. Is it possible to get your software to create the issue in our house?

Hi,

I received the login credentials and I will try now to reproduce the issue. Would it be possible to send or post me your whole project? This would be great, because then we have the exact same base.

It's pretty big. Is there a way to upload it somewhere?
