5.4.4 - Object found on node locked computer, not runtime

[dochoa]

Using Ranorex 5.4.4

When creating my test on my node locked computer I find the following element easily:

.//button[@title='close' and @tagname='button']/span[@innertext='close']

Running the test clicks it.

So I build to Team City and run the resulting application on our runtime workstation where instead of clicking the object it clicks the upper left corner of the browser and causes the test to fail.

I have tried several different xpaths, image recognition, and even tried finding another sibling to use as a point of reference and all fail.

Any suggestions?
Any other info I can give to help?

Hi,

Have you tried to track the problematic element (on runtime machine) with spy? What's its xpath?

Typically, the problem like this is caused by different Ranorex configuration. Please follow this post...

If it's not such case, then we will need to see the actual xpath of the element on runtime machine. It's most probably different (due to different OS version, AUT version, different version of .Net installed on target machine, etc...).

Hi,

I cannot find the configuration file that is mentioned in the post you linked to on my Windows 7 workstation. I would try that if I could find it.
Where is RanorexConfig5.xml?

Hi,

It should be on the path as mentioned in the above post. You just need to replace the 'username' string with your actual user name with which you login to windows. If you don't see such path in file explorer, you will probably need to unhide system or hidden files/folders in explorer settings.

Hi odklizec,

I found that it was only during runtime 2 objects of the same path were being found (had to run the same exact steps). Using Is Visible in the xpath fixed the issue.

Thank you.
