Re: QT Grid Items Not Updating

We found the issue was with our application. The widgets actually do exist but can not be viewed on the screen. I found this out by manually clicking in a location that used to have a previously displayed widget, which resulted in the image opening. Not sure how our application managed to do this yet.

Re: QT Grid Items Not Updating

Thanks for the feedback. I tried before and after snapshots. They were identical. I did find some additional information. If I view one of the images, which opens a different screen, and then return to the original screen, Ranorex and other spy tool now see the changes. It must be the way our applic...

QT Grid Items Not Updating

I am testing a QT application. The application has a grid with patient images that is dynamically updated based on image type checkbox. Visually the application works as expected, however Ranorex can not see the changes. Instead it still recognizes the original objects. I have also tried another ins...

Re: Git merging and conflict-resolving Ranorex Repositories

Yes, I still have the *.cs files in Git. I am just manually merging the rxrep files and leaving the *.cs to normal merging.

Re: Git merging and conflict-resolving Ranorex Repositories

From my latest experiment, merging the rxrep file manually worked. I am going to start using 'git merge master --no-commit --no-ff' so that when I update my branch with master, I get to make all the decisions on what change to select. A bit more work but I think I will have more confidence in merges...

Re: Git merging and conflict-resolving Ranorex Repositories

We are starting to build up our repositories. We now have two people working on the same repository at the same time. Until recently the merges have been easily managed because the branches do not stay around for long. Small features and small merges. Now the repositories are bigger, and we now have...

Re: How to setup VM to run recorded script

I agree with setting up Jenkins to deploy and run your tests. It is worth the extra effort to learn and get it setup. Ranorex works well through the Jenkins CI. I use it in conjunction with GIT to deploy and run Ranorex tests on VMs. Jenkins can be configured to meet your needs. I have it setup to t...

WaitForExists Causing Application Problems

I came across a strange problem during testing an installation process. I have automated our application installation process using normal button clicks. A simple Click next, next, next, wait for install and then click finish. On our latest installation package we use a newer version of SQL, which i...

Re: Local build is different from remote build

It would be good to get clarification on the remote agent build. I assumed it would use the same build process, and I think it should use the same build process. I will send Ranorex an email to get clarification. You were correct. The files did not have "Copy to output directory" set to true. Unfort...

Re: Local build is different from remote build

Thanks for the quick response. 1. We are using git. 2. I am using the Ranorex remote agent for development, which I believe Ranorex builds it locally, zips it to remote machine and runs it. This is the part that appears to be broken. 3. Data was added correctly in CVS. 4. MSBuild should be the same ...

Local build is different from remote build

When I run locally my build successfully copies files and folders from a TestData folder however, when I run it through the remote agent it does not include a new folder I created. Does anyone know why these build would be different? Also, how do I look at the build report on the remote machine? Ran...

Re: Automation Framework development

I agree, Ranorex itself is a framework. If you do not have much of an idea about creating frameworks, I would follow Ranorex's tutorials and use it as they recommend before jumping into building your own.

Re: Automation on different System Name

I added a variable to the repository in Ranorex. It is then available in c# as yourrepo.yourvariable. That way you can set a default value in Ranorex or override it in code if need be.

Re: Integrating multiple solutions with same Name

Ranorex has a merge tool that helps with repository conflicts. I would attach their instructions but the forum does not allow pdf. The tool is in the bin folder called RepositoryMergeTool.exe. Running it from the command line without arguments displays what arguments it needs. I agree with krstcs, t...

Re: Spy Clicks through all buttons on page

Solved. The behavior was being caused by the use of the optional (?) path element. ?/?/button[@text='Left Face'] triggered the strange behavior. Using .//button[@text='Left Face'] instead fixed the problem. Somehow Ranorex must have triggered the event or events when it was querying the optional pat...
