Error with a definition for 'IsEmpty'

[mrkeyo]

Hi folks,
I just upgraded Ranorex Studio to 9.0 , and I meet a following problem :

'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Ranorex.Cell>' does not contain a definition for 'IsEmpty' and no extension method 'IsEmpty' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<Ranorex.Cell>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS1061)'

My code looks as follows:

Code: Select all

 int resultsPresentCount = repo.formFind.tableSearchResults.Rows.Where
            	(
            		rowSearchResults => !rowSearchResults.Cells.Where
            		(
            			cellSearchResults => Regex.IsMatch(cellSearchResults.GetAttributeValue<string>("text"),varSearchQuery,RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
            		)[color=#FF0000].IsEmpty()[/color]
            	).Count();

Can someone help me to resolve it ?
Best regards

I guess this was an extension method that has been removed. Try using the (negated) standard Any method instead following instead:

// put next line at top of file where your using statements are
using System.Linq;

cellSearchResults => !Regex.IsMatch(cellSearchResults.GetAttributeValue<string>("text"),varSearchQuery,RegexOptions.IgnoreCase).Any()

Hi!

Same issue here with Ranorex 9.0 the IsEmpty() does not work!
Happens on strings and on an array. I just replaced .IsEmpty() with .Length==0.
For the strings I used the static string.IsNullOrEmpty(mystring) method.
Still wondering why that was dropped ?!

That extension method just happened to be available in one of the namespaces that are commonly used by test code (Ranorex.Core.Testing). It should never have been public and was internally a duplicate of the same method in a base library. Thus it was removed in an attempt to remove duplicate code, unaware that it is used by some users and causing compilation problems.

We will discuss internally whether it makes sense to put that extension method back in, but it won't help you any more, so sorry again for causing you problems on upgrading!

Just for your info, we will re-add the method with Ranorex Studio release 9.0.1. That will not help you any more, sorry about that, but hopefully others upgrading directly to 9.0.1.
