Hello everybody,

I have a Test Suite in Ranorex 7.0.1, that on 1 physical and 1 virtual Win 7 Pro machine works, and on other 2 physical machines, it does not.

Did you encounter this situation? Do you have any idea why this happens?

Please let me know what other details should I give, so you could give me a hand.

I have just attached a snapshot for more details.

Thanks in advance!
Regards,
George

Hi,

Unfortunately, it's pretty hard (impossible) to tell what's wrong without knowing exact error you getting. It could be due to different Ranorex settings (make sure the settings are stored in Test Suite) or different OS configuration/different VC runtimes, .Net, or 3rd party GUI libs used by your AUT. As mentioned, it's hard to to say what's wrong without more details.

As Pavel said, without more information from you, we aren't going to be much help.

You need to include the FULL error message you are getting, at the very least. Any other info would also be helpful.

Hi,

Looking at the snapshot, it seems that Ranorex is not able to recognize DOM element? It suggests there is not installed or enabled Ranorex plugin in Chrome? Eventually, it could be caused by not enabled Global Accessibility option in Chrome. Check for example this post, discussing similar problem.

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for trying to help me.

I add now further details:
- I converted the open browser action into user code:
Host.Current.OpenBrowser(ipca_login_serveradress, "chrome", "--args --force-renderer-accessibility", true, true, true, false, true);
- I opened the browser like in the Ranorex.rxsettings attached
- I started Ranorex as Windows admin

I hope this sheds more light over the situation I am facing.

George

Good morning,

we still have troubles getting ranorex working stable.
For example. We try to identify a element with the following xpath

//a[text()='Start Compliance Agent']

When i execute the testcase where the xpath is used five times its working 3/5 five times only .
The error message looks like

Attribute 'InnerText' of element for item 'Ipca_LoginLogout_rxrep.download_StartComplianceAgent' does not match the specified value (Failed to find item 'Ipca_LoginLogout_rxrep.download_StartComplianceAgent'. No element found for path '//a[text()='Start Compliance Agent']' within 30s.).
Screenshot

is there a option to see the xml structure of the side at the time the resolution of the element failed ? Because otherwise its quite difficult to adjust the xpath to get a better result.

Regards Florian

Hi,

In my opinion, the app simply loads longer than 30s and so the element is not in expected state text()='Start Compliance Agent' during 30secs? And this is why Ranorex fails to find it. What you can do is to increase the search timeout for given element or add Delay before problematic link? Eventually, use WaitFor Exists action.

Also, you can add Log "Snapshot" action right after the failing element (in recording), so you can review the actual state of the app from snapshot saved in realtime. This way you can validate if the element is in expected state (or not).

But in this case its a website. There is nothing left to load. But i´ll check the logs anyways if the error occurs the next time

Hi,

Well, the web-based apps are always a bit tricky to automate, because of possible delays and lags during the page load. As mentioned, try to add Log >> Snapshot action and check if the element is in correct state. My guess is it's not, which may either be a problem with slow page load a there maybe a bug in your AUT?
