This error might be related to a recent Windows update.

While waiting for a permanent fix, the workaround is to replace ‘Edge’ by ‘EdgeChromium’ in all OpenBrowser actions using Edge.

EdgeChromium can be started by Ranorex and doesn’t keep running in the background after its closure.

When trying to open Edge (action = Open Browser), Ranorex reports this error: Failed to activate Windows app 'MicrosoftEdge' from app family 'Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe'. Ranorex.AppLauncher.exe failed to activate the app. Exitcode: -3 This happened initially on one of our systems, then t...

Thanks for the info. I've had the same error with Chrome extension 1.4.1 and, indeed, had to add the extension's id to both manifest files. So, there are 2 possible error messages: - "Specified native messaging host not found." - "Access to the specified native messaging host is forbidden." and 2 fi...

Hello, Since Oct, 5th, there's a new version of the "Ranorex automation" Chrome extension: 1.4.1: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ranorex-automation/blbjnedpmjikmgjjbmihgbaplihinojl?utm_source=ext_sidebar&hl=fr I haven't seen or received any news from Ranorex regarding this update. Now the...

Hi Don, Sure this might help ... Thanks a lot. :-) To make sure the button is clickable, perhaps I should add to the path " and @visible='True' " or " and @visible='True' and @enabled='True' " Otherwise, how to do to click twice on the button ? Is there an option or should I use custom code ? Yves

I sometimes experience similar very annoying issues with PopupWatcher: - sometimes the popup has actually been closed but Ranorex continues to 'see' it, generating dozens of 'Found popup ...' log messages - sometimes the popup is detected, then closed ... but between the detection and the closure, a...

If this only happens in Edge and Chrome and not in Firefox, I would say that the Rx Chrome Plugin on that remote system isn't running properly. This can have several causes. Please log to that system and check if the plugin reports any error when you start Edge. Click on the extensions icon then on ...

I don't know if this has something to do with the fact that, once again, the Rx add-on from Chrome ver 1.3.1 is no longer available on the Chrome store. Each time I run a remote test on a VM where only Rx Agent is installed, the add-on gets uninstalled from Chrome. NB: Using Chrome add-on 1.3.1, sin...

Thanks for your contribution, rk325. What surprises me is that the capability depends on the Ranorex Studio version. :o The Ranorex Support told me that the capability to handle javascript is related to the add-on version, i.e. that, in Chrome/Edge, add-on 1.4.0 doesn't allow javascript, unlike 1.3....

Hello, I am trying to select a value in a drop-down list. The list is a SELECTTAG item and the values listed in it are OPTIONTAG items. When I open the list and track its content (either from Ranorex Studio using the Track button, either from Ranorex Spy), Ranorex is unable to identify the OPTIONTAG...

Some of my scripts don’t work anymore in Chrome and Edge when I use the add-on ver 1.4.0, while they are OK with 1.3.1. The action that doesn’t have the expected outcome anymore with the new plugin is “Invoke action” – “Select”. When I use this action to select an element is associated with a dynam...

I have tried to browse to https://microsoft.com/, in Chrome AND Edge, with add-on ver 1.4.0. I'm NOT using Ranorex Studio 10.7 but an older version (10.1.6). The same thing happens: it gets redirected to https://www.google.com/ Nothing like that with add-on ver 1.3.1. Can Ranorex Studio 10.7.1 use t...

Glad to know it works again not that add-on ver 1.3.1 is back.

The questions that remain are: why did it disappear and how long will it remain available.

Super !
Thanks for letting me know.

Hello I don't know if there's an easy way to find ALL unused recordings, just like you can fin all unused repository items with the "Cleanup" button in the repo window. But to find if a recording is used of not, there's an easier method, in Ranorex Studio: - open the "Module browser" window - right-...
