Ranorex 9.3.1 hangs on delays

[sarahdawn]

Running a test on a desktop application.

It hangs on a step which is just a simple delay (followed by another delay).

It does not hang when run from the studio, but hangs when run from the Ranorex Uia Launcher. This is what I get from the log.

Code: Select all

Here is what the test suite looks like

I have tried running it with different delay lengths, adding report.info steps in between to log that a delay has been completed and no luck.

Hi,

You should really replace hardcoded Delays in your tests with WaitFor Exists/NotExists actions. Delays should be used only in very specific cases (e.g short delay before click here or there) and not for waiting for the appearance/existence of an element! For this kind of event, you should definitely use WaitFor action. Try to replace Delays with WaitFor action and see if it helps.

Another thing you might try is to completely uninstall Ranorex and install it back. Make especially sure that all system requirements are met.

Just a heads up for everyone using 10.7.3 - we still experience these hangs. Until a proper fix from Ranorex development team is made we simply moved Delay class calls to not be one after another.
