Hi,

I'm afraid, there is not enough info to provide a reasonable answer.
At first, what's your Ranorex version (latest is 8.1.2)? If you are using something older, then please update it with most recent version. You see, it's pointless to debug a problem in an already outdated version ;)
Are you starting your test in release or debug mode? If in debug, please make sure the Ranorex Studio is started as Administrator.
Could you please post a snapshot of the failing control?
Are you able to reproduce the problem with reduced version of your test? Just few steps interacting with problematic control(s).
Any chance you can post a working sample app (some kind of Hello World app) featuring the problematic controls?

Please add these details to your questions:
  • Ranorex Snapshot. Learn how to create one >here<
  • Ranorex xPath of problematic element(s)
  • Ranorex version
  • OS version
  • HW configuration

Sorry for the delayed response i was off the hook for a while.
My ranorex version is 8.1 as of now.
Yes it is in debugger mode and and started as administrator.

while in the process of the execution, at one point, some how it is not able to proceed further and getting failed with this execption.
it is not like it is not identifying some particular element, it is like the execution is just getting struck at one point and failed after defualt wait time.

Failed to instrument WPF process. UI element identification capabilities for this window are limited. Could not set-up managed injection endpoint: Bootstrapping Ranorex Instrumentation failed. The injection timed out. Probably the AUT is blocking the UI thread. If your application is currently in startup state please try to add a delay action to your Ranorex test application before you execute actions on Ranorex elements to give Ranorex the possibility to load correctly into the AUT.

Hi avi6666,

First, try the below points to ensure this is not a permission-based issue:
  1. Launch Ranorex Spy and your application under test with administrative privileges
  2. Disable Windows UAC
  3. Ensure Ranorex, your Ranorex test, and your Application under test are stored on a local, non-network, non-encrypted drive
  4. Verify your application under test and Ranorex are running with elevated privileges in Windows Task Manager
If the issue persists, are you able to duplicate these issues in a new solution in Ranorex 8.2.0 or on another machine? Also, please provide the following so we may better understand your environment and issue:
  • Ranorex Snapshot(s) of your application under test where you experience the issue(s) (not a screenshot)
  • The code you are using that sometimes passes and other times fails
  • Ranorex Trace logs - %userprofile%\Documents\Ranorex\Logs (zip directly after reproducing the issue)
  • If possible, the AUT itself (or sample of which produces the same issue)
If you wish to troubleshoot this in a more private manner, please create a new support query referencing this forum thread.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
Ned

Hi,

I have this error (with I think might be the same).
I tried to Run an application using the flowing code with Ranorex Studio and Visual Studio

Code: Select all

Process.Start(@"appl_path\app.exe");
result with Visual Studio
Image

result with Ranorex Studio
Image

I also have this error at the same time


Failed to load the assemblies containing the definition of this control. UI element identification capabilities for this control are limited. Failed assemblies:
\\App_Folder\UtilitiesGui.dll
A:\App_Folder\UtilitiesGui.dll
Process: 'VXelements' (pid 6996)

Do you know who can I come through this ?

Thank you,
