Validate.NotExists() throws Element.NotFoundException. : Automation API

[odd]

During execution the following code when "Interface.Chicago.Instance.Client.Main.Self" window is not exists,

Code: Select all

try
{
Validate.NotExists(Interface.Chicago.Instance.Client.Main.Self, "Comment.", false);
}

catch (RanorexException e)
{
Report.Error(e.ToString());
}


Ranorex throws Element.NotFoundException, which is catched in catch block, so there is no any validation fail message in log, but only exception.

Ranorex version is 3.0.0.11639.

You have to use the corresponding "SelfInfo" object instead of the "Self" property. See the following forum threads for more info:
