GDI Capture List across project integrations

[GordonRamsay]

Greetings Ranorexers

I have recently come across a problem regarding the GDI capture list;

Say for example, I have Application A, and Application B, with standalone Ranorex solutions for each application, which both heavily use GDI (the applications do not support anything else)

I now wish to create another Ranorex solution that tests the integration between Application A, and Application B, however, in this new Solution, when I add references to both project files, none of the GDI classes are propogated, I therefore have to manually add them.

Is there a way to automatically inherit GDI capture settings when adding references to other projects? This has recently become a bit of a problem in our Ranorex kitchen, and we were wondering what our best options are.

Hi,

The GDI capture list is stored in rxsettings file. So the easiest way to use GDI capture list accross the solutions is to load rxsettings file from existing solution to new one. I'm afraid, there is no automatic way to do this. But at least you don't have to add individual GDI capture list elements manually

Thanks for the response,

However, we are creating many solutions that contain integrations of many apps, this is a pain because if we forget to import the settings from one project, we may not realise until tests begin to fail

Is there any plans for the GDI capture settings to be contained within the project's item repository, instead of inside the rxsettings file of each solution? I think this would be a great solution - unless there's something i'm missing ofcourse

Hi,

I'm afraid, I don't know about another solution. I think your best hope is to create a user voice post here:
