The Ranorex report file (.rxlog) is an HTML file and can be edited with any text editor.

The Ranorex report DATA file (.rxlog.data) is an XML file and can be edited with any text editor.


Why do you need to edit the report by hand?

If you just want to add extra data, you can use the Report.Log() method in user-code, or the "Report" action in the recording module (.rxrec) action table.

If you are changing the data, I would recommend extreme caution. You really should not edit the data unless absolutely necessary since the report is supposed to be an accurate record of what happened in the test run. You could end up changing something the causes the report to no longer open or, worse, to be invalid and untruthful as a record of events.
Shortcuts usually aren't...

It what the company needs, to view it in a proper format
And add Pass/Fail column to it.

Hi skhanpara,

It is not recommended to edit the rxlog and rxlog.data files as krstcs already mentioned.
If you want to add some extra information to your report you can use a custom Report template.
Please have a look at the “Reporting” section in our User Guide to see how to create your own report template.

Regards,
Markus (S)

Hi Skhanpara,

May I ask you which version of Ranorex is installed on your machine?

Please note:
In Ranorex 4.x the customized report is only shown when the whole test suite is executed.
Please use one of the highlighted buttons in order to run the whole test suite.
