Hi,

I'm afraid, you forgot to mention Ranorex version? Latest supported Ranorex is 6.1 and most probably also 5.4.6.

According to the error, the testsuite file seems to be corrupted. Have you made some manual changes to the rxtst file? Could you please upload the rxtst for review? And finally, have you tried to get the last working version from version control system (I hope you are using one)? If you are not using version control system (SVN, GIT, TFS,...) you should immediately get one. Test automation is SW development like any other. A proper version control system is a "MUST HAVE" for any SW developer!

Hi odklizec,

Thank you for the reply,

I am using Ranorex version 6.0, and using version control. Last checked in file has very few test cases created and it is working. Later i added lot of test cases and did some renaming after test case creation.I believe renaming caused this issue.

Kindly find the attached rxtst file.

Thanks & Regards,
Kapil

Hi,

Well, it's hard for me to find the cause of error in your rxtst file because it's quite big However, the error message indicates that there is an item with the same key in the file? Exact error: "An item with the same key has already been added".
I don't have any clue how this could happen, maybe there is a bug in 6.0? Unless someone in Ranorex finds a way how to fix your file, you will most probably have to start over with your last working version? And then perform checkin after each few added TCs? Additionally, try to update your Ranorex 6.0 with most recent 6.1, which fixed many 6.0 errors.
