Ranorex Forum

Thanks for that, and my apologies. In the earlier answers it said to 'Right click the item' within the repo, not the application or rooted folder in question thus I couldn't find the option. That being said, it appears that I've had this set to 'False' from the get-go, and thus the caching doesn't s...

Hi there,

Aware this is quite an old thread, however this is still occurring to myself. There's no longer the option of turning the caching off (in code or in Ranorex Spy) that I can see and thus I have no idea how to resolve this.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards.

Could be a timing thing whereby it was searched for prior to the element being loaded.

Shove in a WaitForPageLoad or delay the search/validation for like 1000-2000ms and you'll probably be golden.

Can't you just add the element you want to check to your repository, then run a validate.istrue against the repo item 'type'?

e.g

Thanks Markus, I had actually edited the post prior to your response stating what you said, haha. You were spot on ;-) Funny you should actually say set a longer timeout, possibly around 5000...as due to the fact I couldn't get this working initially, I set a delay with duration 5000 to replace it. ...

Guys, thought I'd revive this thread as it's almost exactly what I'm after...and I seen a screenshot that was EXACTLY what I was after...but then nothing came of it. I've got my head around repository variables for the most part (I think) but there's a scenario whereby the variable is in the domain....

if it's the changing/dynamic ID that's giving you the grief, you can always set the repository item XPath where this random ID is situated from: [#'exampleID12345'] which I'm imagining it to display as, to: [@id~'.*'] This should equate to "For any value of 'id' in this location"...unless I'm mistak...

Sorry if I wasn't very precise in my explanation of the problem...no, they are all in the same FOLDER, but they are separate items within the repository folder. Also, I'm trying to avoid external data sources as the only thing I plan on updating is Ranorex, not an external source also. Cheers. *EDIT...

Sorry to bother you all again, but this is sort of linked to problem I posted (and sort of resolved myself with a little help from gannias ) yesterday: Here Again, it's to do with all of the images that I have floating around in a single root folders in my repository, although these all appear on 'd...

Ok, I've figured out how to do it...but not really in the way I wanted to do it. Rather than selecting the first item in my repository folder, I've modified the image RxPaths in the repository itself. They now aren't using their specific names, but instead using a rooted folder to link to a precedin...

Thanks Gannias, I hadn't as, due to this being the 'last' folder, it wasn't a rooted folder, just a simple folder. You can only get the Self command for rooted folders. I'll try playing around with the folder and seeing if it's too much work to get everything re-arranged into a rooted folder and giv...

Hi guys, I've asked a question on here before and got a prompt and helpful response that led me to resolving my issue in a more roundabout fashion, so I thought I'd give another question bash (^_^) Issue: OK, I have my repository broken down into lots of folders as there are constant changes all ove...

Thanks Markus, you're 100% correct. That initial code for the image list worked perfect and just hearing it from another person, I'm not sure what I was thinking... Regarding the image comparison, the reason I'm having difficulty in how I'm approaching it, is because I don't know which image will be...

Hi guys, I'm in the process of trying to figure how to make the automation find all the HTML image tags in a set section and clicking on the image; there's a built in loop so that it navigates back to the same page ready to click on the next image tag. Once on the new page, I'm then trying to compar...
