Synchronise time between main Thread and PopupWatcher

[BenedictWright]

Hy,
I have noticed, that when the PopupWatcher creates an entry in the Report, it is not synchronised with the main threads time. See example:

Code: Select all

00:13.680 Info User Jump to item
00:13.748 Info User Jump to item
00:14.273 Info Mouse Jump to item
00:00.000 Info ThreadExecPopupWatcher Jump to item
00:00.097 Failure User Jump to item

See how main thread is at 00:14.273 but the Popuwatcher is at 00:00.000.

Is there a way to have Popupwatcher use correct timestamps?

Ranorex version: 5.0.3

Hi Benedict,

Since the PopupWatcher is running in a separate thread, it is unfortunately not possible to synchronize the timestamps.

Absolute time is the same for any thread

I will send an email to [email protected] as well, but I would suggest that the PopupWatcher be created in such a way that it is handed the current "run-time" or "start time) of the test by the main test process when it is started. The watcher thread may be a little bit off, but it wouldn't be much and could be accounted for.

Alternatively, since Report is a ?singleton? the Report could keep track of its time und use this for reporting accross all threads.

This is actually the behaviour I was expecting.
