I created 4 recordings and at now I have a test which I can run and just arrange the 4 recordings. fine.
I wanted to create a new test and add more recordings, so I added a new project, and referenced the repository form the first project in my new one to remove need to define all the controls again... but now I'm unable to add a new test in my new project. The option is disabled/unavailable to me.
Confused by the semantics.

Hello conradb,
Welcome to Ranorex!
Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure what is meant by:
Further information about the TestSuite structure can be found here: http://www.ranorex.com/support/user-gui ... suite.html
Looking forward to hearing from you.

May I ask you to rephrase your issue with using the correct Ranorex terms of the individual components, e.g. Project, TestSuite,TestCase etc. ?but now I'm unable to add a new test in my new project

Re: How to I create a new test case
Thanks Rob, yes I was aware my question was poorly phrased or put.
I got handed a "non-working" project, so I skipped a few bits of the learning curve to try get it working quickly, but completely broke the project by copying a recording and pasting it and modifying the copy to add a new wizard step. So now am starting a solution completely from scratch now as a result just to learn the Ranorex lifecycle from the beginning. I probably needed to read through the guide a second time. I also started out using calc.exe as my test app, since its simpler than the keypass which slightly frustrated me when the version I had of keypass did not match the tutorial I was following.
So:
a repository = UI element container
a recording = a module?
a project = test suite?
Can a project have more than one "script" or set of recordings in it? That was what I was trying to do I think.

Re: How to I create a new test case
As a note, you can't really do a lot of copy/past with whole modules, variables, etc., in Ranorex because Ranorex uses GUIDs behind the scenes to uniquely identify objects. Copying these around will cause you no end of headaches because Ranorex won't know what object really goes where.
Shortcuts usually aren't...

Re: How to I create a new test case
Hello Conrad,
I hope this answers your question
Sincerely,
Robert
A Ranorex solution can contain multiple (TestSuite) projects, the TestSuite is more or less the main container of your recording/code modules. All modules can be group in so-called TestCases. A TestSuite can contain multiple TestCases, a TestCase can hold multiple recording/code modules.Can a project have more than one "script" or set of recordings in it? That was what I was trying to do I think.
I hope this answers your question
Sincerely,
Robert
