Error identifying an element in an html page when the "@innerText" property contains a RegEx.

Hello,

I just migrated from a Ranorex V5 to V9 version, and I have a problem.

When I write the following information, I get an error (see attachment).
--> "/dom[@pageurl~'.htm']/body/div[3]/table//td[@innertext~'(?i:Glucose 5% perfusion IV)']"

When I write the following information, the identification works correctly.
--> "/dom[@pageurl~'.htm']/body/div[3]/table//td[@innertext~'Glucose 5% perfusion IV']"

Does anyone have an idea of the problem?

Hi,

In what Ranorex action did you apply this xpath and when exactly did you get the error (while running the test or after adding the action in Studio)?

I get the error from "Ranorex Spy" when I click on "Highlight"

I don't see anything wrong with the regex and honestly the error message looks like something web-browser issued? At least I'm not recognizing such error as Ranorex error (French does not help either

)?

What web browser (and version) do you use? I just tried to highlight such xpath in Chrome (using 9.0 spy) and it works as expected. So I think the problem must be something browser/system specific?

BTW, just for test, try to enter the text Glucose 5% perfusion IV in below table and try to highlight it with Spy...

The test is done from the URL you provided me, it works fine

.

I just asked the development team, it's a FOXPro application that uses an activeX IE to display these HTML pages.

I see, so it's embedded IE. I'm afraid, it's hard to tell what's wrong, without seeing the AUT (snapshot would most probably not help here). I would suggest to contact Ranorex support and request a remote session with them, so they may analyze the problem in a realtime.

All right, I'll do that.

Thank you for your help.

Seen with the support, it is necessary to disable the parameter "Enable JS acceleration for IE9+ without addon" in the Settings dialog box. When this setting is set to false, the error message no longer appears.
