Hi,

May I ask you which RxPath is used by the "repo.NordicInsuranceSoftware.CalculationShell.DestinationState" repo item?
Could you please also send me the exact error message?

In order to select an option of the select tag you could use the following code:

SelectTag selectTag = "/dom[@domain='qa.caatravelinsurance.ca']//div[#'calculation-shell']//div[@innertext='Destination country']/..//select[@class='destination-country']";
selectTag.TagValue = "US";

Does this work for you?

Regards,
Markus

I was able to using try catch

but is there any code to reduce search time

Thank you for your reply

Hi,

Yes, it is possible to reduce the search timeout. When you use the Ranorex Repository you can easily change the search timeout of the repository items by changing the Search Timeout property.
But it is highly recommended to use a not too small search timeout and it is also not recommended to change the Repository Defaults search timeouts.

Thanks for your reply

i know we can change the search time from the properties tab

but my question was can we change search time for a particular activity
like i want to reduce search time for just one try-Catch block

Thanks

Hi,

I suppose you perform an action on a specific repository item in the try catch block. If so, you can temporarily change the SearchTimeout of the repo item info object in code.

var destinationStateInfo = repo.NordicInsuranceSoftware.CalculationShell.DestinationStateInfo;
Duration oldSearchTimeout = destinationStateInfo.SearchTimeout;
destinationStateInfo.SearchTimeout = new Duration(25000);// add the new value to the constructor
//... your actions
        	
destinationStateInfo.SearchTimeout = oldSearchTimeout; // set it back to the previous value
