I am setting up my CI/CD pipeline and running my tests on a Remote Agent (RanorexRemoteAgent-4.0.0.msi) installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 running Chrome Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit).
I have ensured the extension is properly installed and that my tests work in Chrome locally. However, when I try to run them on the Remote Agent every test times out failing to find any elements. I thought maybe it was my Whitelist so I removed everything from it and that still didn't help. I'm not sure what else to do to troubleshoot elements not being found. The tests are running fine in Firefox. I cannot figure out how to install the Internet Explorer extension with just installing the Remote Agent so I haven't attempted IE yet.

Hi,
In my opinion, you need to install Ranorex on target system and instrument all browsers before using remote execution? Upcoming Ranorex 8.3 will automatically instrument browsers, after using OpenBrowser action. But as of now, the browsers must be instrumented manually.

Hi jarrettmk,
Does the test work if you copy it over to the remote machine and run it manually? Chrome instrumentation issues are normally resolved by a re-install of Ranorex and Chrome. Please also try this.
The IE extension does not need to be installed separately, no instrumentation is needed. If you have installed Ranorex on the remote machine, then you should already see the add-on under "Manage add-ons" as Ranorex.Plugin.TridentIpc.RanorexAddon.

Hi jarrettmk,
I experienced the same issue with the Chrome extension and here is how I solved it:
NOTE : Be sure to be log as a full windows administrator
1. Uninstall Chrome
2. Uninstall Ranorex and his remote agent
3. Delete all remaining directories that are connected to Chrome or Ranorex (eg user/??/AppData/??)
4. RESTART THE COMPUTER
5. Use CCLEANER or any other tool to clean the registry.
6. Reinstall Chrome
7. Reinstall Ranorex Studio
8. RESTART THE COMPUTER
9. Use Ranorex Instrumentation Tool to add the Chrome Extension
10. Reinstall the Ranorex Agent
I am not sure that all these steps are really necessary to solve the issue, but for me it was the only way to success.
Hoping it helps you.
