Ranorex fails to obtain value from HTML <input> field

[Gzmot]

My website is very simple calculator. My test goes as follows:

Mouse Click Left Relative ButtonTag9
Mouse Click Left Relative ButtonTagPlus
Mouse Click Left Relative ButtonTag9
Mouse Click Left Relative ButtonEq
Get value Value $calcInput Relative equationInputField
Validate AttributeEqual $calcInput 18 equationInputField

(the user can type instead of using the buttons, so that is why the output is shown in the equationInputField)
The calculator works when I manually test it, however it appears that Ranorex thinks that $calcInput='(null)'
Despite calcInput holding the correct value.
I beleive I have made a mistake on the Get value aspect of the test.

Hi Gzmot,

Be sure you are getting the right attribute value for the element. In Ranorex Spy, after selecting an element on the left, you can see all of the available attributes and their current values on the right .

The attachment 1.png is no longer available

The get-value action should be like below. If you are only needing to validate this data, you should use a validation action (also in the image below).

If you continue to experience issues, please provide a Ranorex Snapshot (not screenshot) of this application under test and a copy of your solution (compressed).

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
Ned
