Validate.Exists gives "Function evaluation timed out" : General Questions

[rkarhe]

Hi Experts,

I am using Validate.Exists to verify element exists or not as following

Validate.Exists(".//button[@accessiblename='Insert']", 50000, "to check whether insert button exist or not", false)

When I debug and evaluate this line it shows message "Function evaluation timed out." Please suggest, Am I doing anything wrong here? I have tried changing duration.

on same m/c spy identifies ".//button[@accessiblename='Insert']" this object.

Thanks in advance,
Rocky

Hi,

Do you debug your code in VS or in Ranorex Studio? I tried to reproduce it with Ranorex Studio and wasn't able too. If you get this error in VS, I would guess there is a hard-coded timeout which cause this error.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for reply. I debug this in VS. Could you please explain lil more on hard-coded timeout in VS(I myself nowhere set timeout). I am new to VS, C# and Ranorex.
Thanks,

On which form will the above code try to find out existence of button. Does Validate.Exists work on the currently active form? Please confirm this. That could be the issue over here.
I think I also can use 'object.Selfino.Exists()' to check the existance of object? Is there any example code which uses 'object.Selfino.Exists()'.

Thanks,

The RanoreXPath ".//button[@accessiblename='Insert']" tries to find a button with accessible name "Insert" on you system under test. So if your System is quiet complex to analyze for Ranorex Spy, by having many applications running, it might take a huge amount of time to find this button.
Please try to alter your RanorXPath do not run in problems within finding the button.

Please have a look at following chapters of our user guide to learn more about the RanoreXPath:

Sure there is a sample code for using this method:
