DataSource files missing when executing through Agent

Post by Tolga » Tue Oct 16, 2018 3:00 pm

Hello guys,

what can I do wrong while using the Ranorex Agent in case of DataSources?
I have a DataSource-Folder. Every necessary file in that folder is already included in the project.
The "copy to output directory"-Propertiy of those files is set to "always".
But the DataSource that is used within a "SmartFolder" for the different iterations cannot be found on the Agent-Machine after starting the process through the Remote-View on my local machine.
If I start the project through Jenkins or manually on the Agent-Machine everything works. Also the project works on my local machine.
So my question is: what do i have to do to use the ranorex-agent correctly so it can upload my datasources to the remote machine?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tolga,

Which version of Ranorex are you working with? This should normally work out of the box.
Can you post your solution here in the forum so that we can take a look at it? Creating a compressed Ranorex solution

Hi McTurtle,

thanks for your response. I cannot share the solution to third parties sorry.
We use the latest Ranorex 8.3.0 and yes this seems very weird.
From the steps I explained -- they were correct, right? I already deleted the file and added it again to the solution. But no difference.
It is a simple (quite small) CSV-File.
