Ranorex could not navigate to the correct position : General Questions

[Dale Nikola]

When I record my test project, and then started to run it, you'll find out, as long as you change the browser window size or the browser to another screen, Ranorex could not navigate to the correct position. What is the reason? Can you help me?

Hi,

When I record my test project, and then started to run it, you'll find out, as long as you change the browser window size or the browser to another screen, Ranorex could not navigate to the correct position. What is the reason? Can you help me?

Ranorex is an object based automation framework and it doesn't take care of where the element is placed on the screen. On every search Ranorex retrieves the actual coordinates of the object and tries to click this, therefore shouldn't be a problem where the objects are placed on the screen.

• Please could you post the exact error message you get?
• Which browser do you test?
• Are you getting a limitation popup?
• Is the zoom level of the browser set to 100%?

Hi,

Make sure your browser zoom level set to 100% and try it again.

I use the IE browser,there is no limitation popup,and,I am sure the zoom level of the browser is set to 100%. I run it, for example, when the mouse pointer to click on a button, but the result is the pointer clicks elsewhere, but not on the button. Is it right? I guess the problem I on this tool improper setting.
