Can't identify the element

[subodh4u7]

Hi Experts,

I have test cases which are running fine my machine. However when I copy the same (Output folder which contains all the related files to the soultion) to other system, it's failing stating Can not find the element.

But When I run couple of times, out of 3 times it's passing one time. I am really puzzled now with such unexpected behavior.

Ranorex Version : 6.0.1
Application Type: Windows based

Please advise me.

Hi

I'm afraid, that without knowing more about the AUT, without seeing your test and exact error message you are getting (report), it's almost impossible to provide a reasonable help.

The only thing that I can think of is different Ranorex configuration on that other system? Also, different OS and different version of runtime libs/.net could be the cause of your issue. If the system is too different form your local system (especially if the other system is a VM), it may be necessary to optimize the test for that other system. It may be possible that some elements are loaded slower than on the original system and this may cause a problem with expired search timeouts? This could be an issue especially if you are are using some hardcoded Delays in your test?

As mentioned, it's impossible to tell what's wrong without more details.

Thanks Pavel.

Ranorex verison 6.0.1 is installed on both the machine with Windows 7 Enterprise with Service pack 1 64 bit operating system. I am not running on Virtual machine but on the physical machine.

Error is not able to identify the control as attached.
.net is what i see there is difference in between these two machines.

Please let me know whether this can help in figuring out the issue.

OK, please create a Ranorex snapshot of the problematic element on both systems. Then compare the xpaths from both systems (the one where it works with the other one). There must be a difference, which causes this problem.

BTW, I just noticed there is a search timeout set to 600ms. This may be way too short timeout! Is there a reason why you search for the element for such short time?
