Cannot identify desktop items during execution

[chidambaram0705]

Hi,

XPath: /desktop[@processname='explorer']//listitem[@text='Diagnosis Files']
On Spy, the parent and child elements gets highlight without any issue, but during execution it fails to identify.
No just above object, all the desktop items fails during execution.

Ranorex Version : 9.3.2+git.9da16f76
Snapshot Attached: DesktopItem.rxsnp

Regards
Chida

Hi,

How did you take the snapshot? Manually via Spy or from recording module? I'm asking, because the snapshot apparently does not show/contain anything under Desktop element? And this is most probably also why the xpath fails.

At first, try to update Ranorex with most recent 9.3.3 and the add 'explorer' process to Ranorex whitelist.

-Verified Whitelist and explorer is added to whitelist.
-Yes, I saved the snapshot via Spy.

Still no success in making the click work on the desktop items.
Observation:
1. If record and playback, the action of clicking the desktop item works fine.
2. If Same item (Same Xpath) is accessed via new repository created (not created by recording) in user code module, the click doesn't work.

Xpath: /desktop[@processname='explorer']//listitem[@text='Support Tool']

Hi,

Well, then there is most probably a problem with code module? Any chance you can share your code?
