How to change the reference-path in rxtst-file

[BCTest]

Hello,

we copy the executable-files compiled on a PC with Ranorex-Test-Suite to a PC with Ranorex-Test-Runner to execute the test. Many files are stored in the bin/release-folder of the project, those files are referenced in the rxtst-file only by there name and extension, e.g.:

<reference>
	Belege.exe
</reference>

But some files are referenced using relative path, e.g.:

<reference>
	..\..\..\..\..\TestModul\Gemeinsam\Programmverwaltung\Programmverwaltung\bin\Release\Programmverwaltung.exe
</reference>

Did I mentioned: these are projects added later to the solution.
Where can I change the adjustment to use no relative paths? We want Ranorex-Test-Suite to store each executable in the same directory (so those executables can be copied easierly)?

Regards,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

May I ask you to explain how you added the references, which results in a relative path.
Additionally, please let us know which version of Ranorex you are currently using.

Thanks,

Hello Robert,

sorry for the missing informations:
We are using Ranorex 5.3.2 and we add projects to the solution by using the context-menu in projects-window (like shown in the screenshot at the end).
I took a closer look to our SVN-repository and found that the project "Belege" also had a reference with relative paths in a former revision:

<reference>
	..\..\..\..\..\TestModul\Gemeinsam\Belege\Belege\bin\Debug\Belege.exe
</reference>

In the next revision the reference was changed:

<reference>
	Belege.exe
</reference>

In both revisions the Ranorex version ist identical:

rxversion="5.1.2.19431"

As I can see in SVN we made major changes regarding this test

• - added, modified and deleted several recordings

• - added several existing projects

Hope this information helps,

Hello Support-Team,

with the help of the forum I found the reason for this misbehavior: the project-reference were missing in the csproj-file of the solution. I found missing project references in three of four solutions, all created and edited with Ranorex 5. I'm not sure but I think I added projects to the solution always in the same manner.

Hope this helps,
Thomas
