Failed to find item during testing

[HelloWorld]

I am Ranorex beginner.

I use Ranorex v4.1.2.16100

I have a WPF datagrid from devexpress (GridControl) and set it as:
AutomationProperties.AutomationId="FilesDataGrid"


Path was tracked with SPY/track button

Code: Select all

/form[@automationid='Swissphone.SolutionKit.Desktop.UI.Views.MainWindow']
/?/?/container[@automationid='DockManager(53661974)']
/container[@automationid='LayoutGroup_LayoutGroup(29760277)']/container[@automationid='LayoutGroup_LayoutGroup(46041549)']/?/?/container[@name='Filing']
/container[@name='PART_Content']//container[@automationid='FilesDataGrid']

Path of the FilesDataGrid in the repository

Code: Select all

?/?/container[@automationid='DockManager(66273709)']/container[@automationid='LayoutGroup_LayoutGroup(28602718)']
/container[@automationid='LayoutGroup_LayoutGroup(46541742)']/?/?/container[@automationid='c825b634-ec4b-40bd-b4f6-74dd99060cc8' and @name='Filing']
/container[@name='PART_Content']//container[@automationid='FilesDataGrid']

These are my two actions:

The first action -mouse click- is executed. The next action which is a user code action is also executed - I set a breakpoint inside the method -

Code: Select all

public void ClickFirstGridRow()
{
  Delay.Milliseconds(1000);
  var firstRow = repo.SwissphoneSolutionKitDesktopUIViews.Modules_Filing.FilesDataGrid.Children[0];
  firstRow.Click();
}

the firstRow is never null so the click() should work but....

1.) In the UI the row is not clicked, the mouse pointer is still over the control of action number one
2.) The test fails because it can not find the item FilesDataGrid.

Thats the error report of the failed test:

Failed to find item

Why does it not find the item?

[HelloWorld]

This same issue I had this morning again:

I clicked on the repository item "edit path" button then this is shown:
(Spy 32bit)

See the above image where the FilesDataGrid can not be found

When I start the Spy 64bit I get this image from the running application when I click on the FilesDataGrid:



Why these differences in the result?

Btw. I am running Windows 7 64bit.

Please forget what I wrote before. Take the following information as up to date:

From desktop.exe and spy 64bit
------------------------------
/form[@automationid='Swissphone.SolutionKit.Desktop.UI.Views.MainWindow']/
container[@automationid='BarManager']//
container[@automationid='LayoutGroupInnerWrapper']/?/?/
container[@name='Filing']/
container[@name='PART_Content']//
table[@automationid='FilesDataGrid']

From the run test error report:
-------------------------------
Failed to find item 'Swissphone_SolutionKit_Desktop_Modules_Filing_RanorexTestsRepository.FilesDataGrid1'.
No element found for path

'/form[@automationid='Swissphone.SolutionKit.Desktop.UI.Views.MainWindow']/
container[@automationid='BarManager']//
container[@automationid='LayoutGroupInnerWrapper']/?/?/
container[@name='Filing']/
container[@name='PART_Content']//
table[@automationid='FilesDataGrid']' within 30s.

Why does it not find the repo item although the path is the same as from your SPY tool?

That does not make sense.

I just tried to make a "Highlight Element" on the repo item and there appears a red frame around my GridControl in the UI of my app.

I have exactly the same issue. What have you done to solve this issue? Any tips?

My issue was that my test suite was located and stored on a network drive. Testing works fine after copying it to my local hard drive.
