Failed due to exception Ranorex.CapabilityNotSupportedExcept

[Rajendra]

Hi,

I am getting following error while trying to access the textbox/button using ranorex keywords (Ranorex.Text and Ranorex.Button)

Code_1:
Text textbox="/dom[@domain='www.google.co.in']//input[#'gbqfq']";
textbox.TextValue = "Ranorex";

Failed due to exception Ranorex.CapabilityNotSupportedException: The element does not support the required capability 'text'


Code_2:
WebElement Elem="/dom[@domain='www.google.co.in']//input[#'gbqfq']";
Elem.PressKeys("Ranorex");
This is absolutely working fine.

The same this happening for Button objects as well.

Am I missing something?

I am trying to develop a keyword driven framework. But I am facing these kind of issues while trying to develop a keywords.

Thanks,
Rajendra

I guess I made a small mistake:

The below syntax is working for me:

Ranorex.InputTag input = "/dom[@domain='www.google.co.in']//input[#'gbqfq']";
input.TagValue = "Ranorex";

But, I am getting issue while trying to access buttons using below code:

Ranorex.Button btnn = "/dom[@domain='www.google.co.in']//button[@id='gbqfb']";
btnn.Click();
Failed due to exception Ranorex.ElementNotFoundException: No element found for path './/input[#'gbqfq']' within 10s.

Can some one please help me out?

Thanks,
Rajendra

Sorry, the error message for the above mentioned code was:

Ranorex.Button btnn = "/dom[@domain='www.google.co.in']//button[@id='gbqfb']";
btnn.Click();

Failed due to exception Ranorex.CapabilityNotSupportedException: The element does not support the required capability 'button'.

Hello

Have you tried working with a repository/Spy ? It's easier to maintain I think.


Regards


EDIT: Could you try :

ButtonTag myHtmlButton="/dom[@domain='www.google.co.in']//button[@id='gbqfb']";

From the documentation :

• - Button Represents a push button.
  
  - ButtonTag The HTML 'button' tag.

I tried the syntax postedwabove but still nno luck

Strange.

The buttontag adapter worked fine for me with Chrome.


Maybe try the support ?

Hi,

When you work with web elements you need to ensure that you also use the right adapter types.
For instance, when you try to create an adapter for a web button: "/dom[@domain='www.google.co.in']//button[@id='gbqfb']" you need to create a ButtonTag adapter:

ButtonTag myHtmlButton="/dom[@domain='www.google.co.in']//button[@id='gbqfb']";

In the Detail's tab of Ranorex Spy you will see what Capability is used to define the specific web element:

ButtonTag.png (27.6 KiB) Viewed 1452 times

you shouldn't face issues when you use the specific Capability shown in Spy.

Markus,

I think part of the confusion here is that Ranorex uses the same RXPath tags for two different Object types.

For example, the types Button and ButtonTag both use the RxPath "/button" by default. I think it would be better if the object and path matched.

So, the Button object would have a "/button" path by default, and the ButtonTag object would have a "/buttontag" path by default. This would clear up a lot of confusion.

You don't need to change anything but the default generator for the ButtonTag object, so no one would need to change their tests. ButtonTag would still work with the "/button" path, but by default it would generate a "/buttontag" path from now on. This would allow backwards compatibility but create a distinction between the two items.

There are other similar situations, but buttons are the most obvious.

Can we add that as a feature request?

Hi Markus,

Thank you for the reply.

The below syntax is working absolutely fine.

Ranorex.ButtonTag btnn = "/dom[@domain='www.google.co.in']//button[@id='gbqfb']";
btnn.Click();

Thanks,
Rajendra
