SetValue works locally, but not with Agent

[dmconsulting1]

I have a step the sets the value of the File Name field to open a file under test. But when I push this test to run on the agent, it fails to set the value.

This is the only test like this I seem to have a problem with, it is very frustrating.

Ok, weird.

I am using a variable to set the value with. If I have the variable bound to a parameter, it fails. If the variable is unbound but has a valid value set for default, it works. Is this expected behavior?

Hi,

Are you pretty sure that the bound parameter contains correct value?

I seriously doubt that there is a problem with parameter/variable binding, because it's a core Ranorex feature, used in almost every Ranorex solution. So I can't imagine that such issue would not be discovered yet In my opinion, the value in binded parameter is wrong, or the variable is bound to incorrect parameter? Eventually, the value of parameter is overwritten with incorrect one during test run? Could you please share the report file, where we can see the failure and value of binded parameter?

There isn't an error, it just doesn't.

But nothing gets entered. (expecting the default value).

Hi,

Default variable value is entered, only if the variable is not bound to data connector or parameter. If the variable is bound to data connector or parameter, there is used value from given data connector or parameter, even if the value is not set/empty! Simply put, if the parameter is empty, bound variable will be empty too, regardless of its default value.
