Ranorex Forum

I am testing an application, using InvokeRemotely to transfer data out of .net controls. I'm referencing pre-compiled assemblies in order to use the controls. However, when I try and use InvokeRemotely, I get: Cannot load assemblies dynamically - application is not deployed using ClickOnce. Anyone e...

You've hit that one on the head, my test suite is located in a folder on my desktop.

Ranorex is installed and licensed properly on the machine, I've always had to use this approach when using InvokeRemotely.

The problem was that I was running the testing app in a different directory to the application under test. After copying my dll's to that location and running from there, no problems at all.

I have this simple code: [STAThread] public static int Main(string[] args) { PluginManager.Instance.LoadDefaultPlugins(); Ranorex.Core.Element el = "/form[@controlname='MainForm']/element[@controlname='ribbon']"; Ranorex.Control ctrl = new Control(el); ctrl.Click(); string value = (string)ctrl.Invo...

I have now.

I've created wrapper classes that bring back the properties I need for a control, using both the GetProperty() for the serializable properties and the InvokeRemotely() method for the non-serializable properties.

Now I've hit the serialization and transferring to .Net Control issues.

The Blog makes some sense, however, the 2.0 implementation of Ranorex.Plugin.RemotelyInvokedDelegate expects a Ranorex Control rather than the Windows control in the demo code.

Any code showing how this works?

Works a treat, thanks.

That works as to getting the control. It even tells me what it is from the Control Type Property. But I want to be able to get hold of what it actually is. The reason I want to do this, is because the GUI I'm trying to automate gives me a whole bunch of Ranorex.Unknown entries in my repository becau...

Anyone know how to get the underlying Control from an Element?

Anyone have any experience with automation and Krypton Controls? http://www.componentfactory.com/

I have an application that is based on these, but most of them are described by ranorex as "Unknown". They are extensible apparently, but I wouldn't know where to begin.

That worked a treat. Thanks.

Anyone successfully got ranorex to work via VSTS?

I made a recording and referenced all the files, it builds, but never finds the main window of the app I'm testing.

Currently, right clicking an element and choosing "Add to repository" only adds the top level element to the repository, but not any of its children.

Will the future version allow you to do this? It sure would be handy.

Answered my own question, D'oh!:

RxPath path = new RxPath("/form[@title='Form name Goes Here']");
if (RepositoryName.MainForm.FindSingle(path) != null)
Console.WriteLine("Found it!");
