Cannot see Report, (asked and solved.)
If you see this in the report viewer: nonworking report.JPG You want to check if you are running on Windows server (2012 or later, but 2008 also) with enhanced security enabled. Open Server Manager, click on Local server, and find the option "IE enhanced Security configuration" - flip that switch an...

Re: Commandline option nice to have /listconfigs
Source of issue found!! all my fault. I wrote a script to copy the binaries across to the target machine - and some changes to that script are messing up because I corrupted one of the input CSV data files. It looks like providing a weirdly corrupted input CSV file can produce silent failure, but it...

Re: Commandline option nice to have /listconfigs
Hi Pavel. I'm pretty sure that is closer to what is going wrong. My test-case is just not even running, i can see it in the runner. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7181/27147394631_486a192d19_o_d.jpg I'm on version 5.4.5.19886. Things have been fine for about 2 months since I upgraded, if we get thin...

Commandline option nice to have /listconfigs
I'm struggling with a test change I made, I'm testing a Windows application, and when I added a new runconfig, the tool is doing something very unusual. The new runconfig is a copy of another one, but with some steps at the end removed. I have decided to split the tests into a *_SiteOnly and a *_Cat...

Re: How to code review a test change
Brilliant suggestions, yes that does help. Thank you for the inputs.
What is autobind?
And hopefully related to that, is there a way to harvest automation IDs in a form?

How to code review a test change
After going a little off track in a thread where I was looking at version control of the generated .cs code files I figured it wise to separate out this question better. I'm automating a WCF application, and most of the test changes are not "user-code", but other kinds of application may share exper...

Re: How to remove readonly mode from .cs file after recording
My intention with deleting all generated or generateable files was to be able to remove them from version control, and then to get them to regenerate in the MSBuild script. I hoped it slightly reduces number of files to check in when doing an average test change, but most fixes seem to touch quite a...

Re: How to remove readonly mode from .cs file after recording
When I delete all the generated files (files that contained the warning banner ) and then click "clean", then click "build solution" in studio it creates a swathe of warnings for each missing file. Is deleting all files containing 'DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE!' the correct strategy for force a project t...

Re: How to remove readonly mode from .cs file after recording
It's my "future" intention to delete all generated files and somehow get our build script to regenerate them in future via msbuild. This would fit with the pattern of not ever storing any files that one can easily generate. I'm pretty sure it was finger problems on my part that got me here, since I ...

Re: How to remove readonly mode from .cs file after recording
I just randomly found myself in the same situation: I added two actions to a recording, and the disabled a different action, but every time I ran the test it was clearly running the old/origional test code. I restarted Ranorex and rebuilt the solution 3 times, problem persisted. I then saw that Rano...

Re: Automating a checklistbox (multicolumn list with tickmarks)
Wow. A lot to take in there, but I expected I need to learn a lot from the answer, and it will take me a long time to digest. Yes the UI does not have many automation IDs, and is rather many controls. UI automation is something completely new to me - I am a API level tester who uses scripts and avoi...

Automating a checklistbox (multicolumn list with tickmarks)
I have a WPF application (actually an MMC snapin) and need to toggle a listbox item. I'm still very new to the tool, and in the role of a maintainer who is trying to fix a test suite after we made a bunch of UI changes. Here is my control, struggling to "activate" an item which is offscreen. ranorex...

Re: How to loop test data set within a recording module
Thanks, that also made it clear. I had the same question :-) The "DATA" source is attached to the Testcase that you want to have run in a loop. All actions or step in that Testcase will get run for as many times as your data has rows. It was very easy in the UI for me to properly refactor my test ca...

Re: Ranorex Spy cannot read the result control in calc.exe
Sure did. You guys are the boz. Thanks for your patience, it looks like I had to hit the refresh button in Spy or something, because I was not identifying/finding the edit control because the node (Container) was not probably showing it's child controls. I think I had to hit Refresh and viola, it's ...

Ranorex Spy cannot read the result control in calc.exe
Just so I can learn to use Ranorex (please assume I'm not a programmer at all) I decided to test the well known calc.exe program just to build my Ranorex skills and use a well known problem-domain to learn how to create simple suites and organize and learn to have a strategy for managing many suites...
