32bit/64bi Applications

[j.early]

Hi all,

We have 2 builds of our application, 32bit and 64bit.

I would like my scripts/recordings to be independent of version. I can’t think of the correct way to incorporate this into recording as they seem dependent on the actual exe you select during the recording.

Any tips

Thanks
Joe

Hi,

basically there is no need to take care about bit width, as Ranorex has a bit bridge handling this automatically for you.
Please make sure to have enabled bit bridge in General Settings.

Its not bit width am worried about to be honest.

Our application comes with a set of 12 sample images. If I install both the 32bit and 64bit on to the same machine, Ill get 2 different install paths for these file.

For example:
x86: C:\Program Files\CompanyName\ToolName x64 7.5.0\images
x64: C:\Program Files (x86)\CompanyName\ToolName 7.5.0\images

If I record a script and pick one from x64, its always going to go back to that same folder, even when working in the 32bit version

Cheers

Hi,

you might have to make the path you are using in your automation variable.
Therefore please have a look at the data-driven testing chapter in our user guide.

You would be best to do this as a user code module I would imagine. An easy solution is to have two constants specifying the two paths and just do a "Directory.Exists()" on each to find out which path is used...
