Electron app dropdown selection

Post by akshayru » Tue Nov 12, 2019 9:15 pm

I am new to Ranorex and trying to Automate Electron framework based chrome app. When i am trying to Spy dropdown list i Ranorex detect only selected element and it doesn't show all elements list. If you look at below XPath the only thing different for dropdown elements is the accessible name, rest all path is same. My question is how do I select these elements, i don't want hard code it as it might have name change in future...


"/form[@title='PartsDiagnostics']/?/?/container[@accessiblename='PartsDiagnostics']/element[1]/element/container[3]/text[2]/?/?/element[@accessiblename>'Available Scanning Device']/element[1]"

Hi,

This is a known Chrome limitation, regarding List items. You will have to use KeySequence, instead of mouse click. Check this post...
