Re: Ranorex in the cloud - Azure

Wow, the time has really slid by on this one. I had promised to come back to it once it was working, but things had been flat out, so here I am 5 months later. Where did it get to? We got it working with our CI and CD solutions. To achieve a robust implementation, we rolled our own .Net solution tha...

Re: Ranorex tests freezing in Azure

Hi Bernhard, Thanks for your reply. I'd spent some time mulling it over during the Christmas break, and tinkered around with a few ideas, and worked out it actually wasn't anything due to the VM itself, but actually the way I was running the test. I won't bore people with the details here, other tha...

Ranorex tests freezing in Azure

I am not sure if many (or even any) other people are trying to move their test environments into the cloud, but the company I work for has decided to move alot of its infrastructure into the Microsoft Azure cloud, including the test environment. I've been working on movingthe license server as well ...

Re: Ranorex in the cloud - Azure

Our company reached the stage where we thought we'd push ahead and so this week I've started with trying to put both our Ranorex license manager and all our automated test environments into Azure. We're still working our way through the migration, so I'll be updating this thread as we learn about wh...

Re: Repo: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

We just encountered this issue too. We're using Ranorex 6.1.0 on Win 7 x64. In our scenario we have a UI Repository in one common project, and then other projects just include that so the user code modules can all leverage the one single UI repository. The issue occurs when dragging Repository folde...

Re: Ranorex 6.0 performance

I'd forgotten about this thread. We had been experiencing the performance issues with version 6.0.0 and 6.0.1, but we updated in just the past week to 6.1. The performance issue appears to have been resolved. When we were analysing the behaviour before, it looked like the lag was due to Ranorex Stud...

Re: Ranorex 6.0 performance

We also are experiencing a serious performance hit after updating to v6.0 of Ranorex. We were previously using Ranorex 5.4.4. Occassionally the Studio IDE doesn't respond for quite a period of time (around the order of 20~30seconds). The complete build time has shortened (18min on a VM with 5.4.4 ha...

Ranorex 6.0 licensing compatibility

Hi, Our teams here are using Ranorex 5.4 with the license manager also at 5.4. Because we have several different project teams, moving at different release schedules, only one project team is at a stage where we are happy for them to consider updating to Ranorex v6.0. Our questions are: 1. Do we nee...

Ranorex in the cloud - Azure

Hi all, Has anyone had any experience or tried running their Ranorex runtimes on cloud servers? Some background: In the past, we've always used VMs on our local ESX servers to spool up and host our Ranorex runtime instances. As they were all on our intranet and local subnet, it was easy to have them...

Ranorex Reports not loading in Chrome v48

Back on the 20th January 2016, Google Chrome v48 was released. The problem we have, is that our Continuous Integration service publishes our Ranorex reports as html. (i.e.: it renames the rxlog => html, and the rxlog.data => html.data). This allows the reports to be viewed in the browser. The proble...

Re: Code examples for post analysis reporting

No worries Bygones. Speaking of HipChat, we use that too. We set up a background process that runs on the same server as our Ranorex license manager and it posts on a number of boards with license status, test results and Ranorex UI Repository lock status. If you need a good base program, then I rec...

Re: How to add a delay to a validation step

I agree with Pavel that fixed delays are to be avoided wherever possible. A simple test can blow out to be very long with fixed delays as you'll end up coding your test to run with the delays set for the 'worst case scenario" (i.e. when the server is slow, the app is under load, or the VM is just ru...

Re: How to set different timeouts for same element

Hi ByGones, Depending on whether you write your tests via Code Modules or the Recording Modules. Recording Modules If you're using the Recording Modules, then perhaps krstcs' suggestion is easiest. However the potential issue is that it'll increase your maintenance overhead down the track if the dev...
