Re: Firewall Settings using Ranorex Agent and Ranorex Studio

If you haven't take a moment to read through the troubleshooting FAQ . I'm not sure about the license server but you need ...to allow access to TCP port 8081 and UDP ports 10000-10001 on the remote machine. I believe you can include a run-time license with your test, but if you're not able to see th...

Re: Ranorex 9 and C# 7

So just a follow up to this. Installing MS Build Tools (really Visual Studio Build Tools 2017) does indeed add C# 7 language support. However when setting the .Net Framework to 4.6.2 the compiler throws errors saying it can't find the targeting pack. The 4.6.1 targeting pack can be installed in Visu...

Hello Douglas,

Thank you for your post.

In order to use C# 7 in your Ranorex project, please download and install Microsoft Build Tools 2017:

Afterwards, you should be able to select C# 7 in your project properties.

Kind Regards,
Stephan
This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Ranorex 9 and C# 7

I've run into trouble with Ranorex's support for C# 7. I'm personally no good at C#, so I'm trying to expand my skill set. I created a solution and upgraded it to use CSharp 7. All was fine until I stuck my solution out on GIT and another user grabbed it. He got an error about the language version i...

Re: Jira Integration: addCustomFieldValue by field ID

Hi Vaughan.Douglas, I think, your topic is rather Jira related than Ranorex, since you want to alter the Atlassian.Jira library if I understand you correctly. As for getting something official in the Automation Helper's code base, should I raise a feature request on the Git Hub project or is that m...

Jira Integration: addCustomFieldValue by field ID

We've run into a situation where the name of a required Jira field is not unique on the Jira server. The addCustomFields method of the the Automation Helper's JiraReporter class uses the issue.CustomFields.Add method of the Atlassian.Jira library. This method appears to grab the first field matching...

Re: what does "Specifies whether the browser should be instrumented before browser start" really mean?

Instrumentation of Chrome/FF essentially consists of installing the Ranorex extension before the browser is launched. The Ranorex extension is required for automation and allows for proper communication between Ranorex and the dom elements for proper object recognition. Without the Ranorex extensio...

Re: what does "Specifies whether the browser should be instrumented before browser start" really mean?

This essentially means exactly as it says. Instead of having to manually instrument a browser prior to starting automation, setting this to true will instrument the browser automatically before the browser is launched. This may not be very useful on a local machine but it is very helpful for runtim...

what does "Specifies whether the browser should be instrumented before browser start" really mean?

I've got warnings that the OpenBrowser overload we're using is obsolete, when I go to see the updates there's now an "instrument " Boolean needed. Great, I could guess what that means, but I'd rather be more informed. Unfortunately I have been incredibly discouraged by the Ranorex documentation as o...

TestSuite Documentation WIth Sandcastle

I'm trying to create support documentation for a Ranorex Test Suite using Sandcastle , but I'm running into a couple of issues. I'm still very new to the tool and was hoping maybe someone from the community may have some experience doing something like this. I'm using the Visual Studio integrated ve...

Re: Unable to click or extract class string for Vuetify button

I deal with an Oracle product that presents a similar issue even if I record the object or create it manually. I've found that rather than using 'button', 'buttonTag' generally resolves the issue. For example: Whereas this will result in a "is no button" error //button[@innertext='Cancel'] This work...

Re: Get Value Action in Recorded Module is misbehaving

A few more details: Using the Validate step: changing the specific validate method (eg "AttributeEqual" to "Exists") DOES wipe out the "Match name" and "Match value" column. However changing the attribute/"match name" itself (eg "Innertext" to "ID") does NOT impact the bound variable/"match value" c...

Re: Get Value Action in Recorded Module is misbehaving

Hi, I can confirm the issue. It appears that there is missing some kind of confirmation of manually entered attribute name? Anyway, I still think that missing InnerText must be somehow related to the OS or element itself? For example, I can see InnerText for search input you mentioned? I think it g...

Re: Get Value Action in Recorded Module is misbehaving

Hi, What kind of element is the one you are trying to get the value from (technology, adapter type)? I mean, it's most probably not a standard HTML input or button, with available InnerText? It seems as if Ranorex is not able to get the InnerText from that element? Have you inspected the element wi...
