Is it possible to record video thru Ranorex API

[Aracknid]

Hi,

I'm using VisualStudio and Ranorex API. I'd love to be able to record a video. I see that the Ranorex.Core object has a number of settings for this new feature. Is it possible to enable video and set options in code? If so can you provide sample code?

Thanks,

Are you using a test suite at all? I believe this is a test suite setting per where the setting is stored and the code below. Albeit this code does not work within a test suite since the reporting has already started with the setting predefined the TS's xml (Ranorex.Core.Reporting.TestReport.Setup(...)).

Code: Select all

TestSuite.Current.ReportSettings.VideoRecordingMode = Ranorex.Core.Reporting.TestReport.VideoRecordingMode.KeepAllTests;

VideoRecordingMode Enum: https://www.ranorex.com/Documentation/R ... ngMode.htm

TS xml:

Code: Select all

...
VideoBitrate="2000"
VideoFps="15"
VideoRecordingMode="Off"
VideoSource="Auto"
...

Nope, not using a TestSuite. I don't use the Studio and never created anything in it. I just use the API in visual studio and hand code everything (been doing this for 8-9 years).

As far as I can tell, there is no public API to invoke Ranorex to record the playback during runtime. I recommend creating a feature request here. In the meantime, perhaps you can execute FFmpeg directly to record your automation? FFmpeg.exe can be found here:
