Ranorex takes always the default platform

[Geci]

Hello,

our Ranorex project has references to our project, for example "C:\Users\XXX\Project\UI\UI.csproj". This project has following settings:

Code: Select all

  </PropertyGroup>
  <PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x86' ">

  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

In Ranorex the build settings are x86 and Debug. The problem is now that Ranorex takes always the default platform and this is anyCPU and not Debug|x86. Therefore the OutputPath is wrong...

Hi GeCi,

Unfortunately, I'd need additional information to analyze this problem in more detail.
May I ask you if you could send me a copy of your project to [email protected]?
This would allow me to see what exactly is happening.

Please also let me know which version of Ranorex you are currently using.

Thank you in advance.

I send you an example.

Hi All,

Geci and I have analyzed this behavior and it seems that the issue is an expected behavior from MSBuild.
This problem can also be reproduced using Visual Studio and I'm afraid there is nothing we can do to overcome this.

Thank you for your understanding.
