I have a user name field on login page class is "input-box large watermark".
So the following code produces exception:
Host.Local.OpenBrowser("qa01.com", "firefox", "", false, false);
Ranorex.Text usrName = Host.Local.FindSingle("/dom[@domain='qa01.crowdtor.ch']//input[#'UserName']", 5000);
usrName.PressKeys("username");
Ranorex.CapabilityNotSupportedException was unhandled

Source=Ranorex.Core
CapabilityName=text

Re: Text box is "input-box large watermark"
You are trying to put in "input" adapter type into a "Ranorex.Text" object. This won't work.
Change this:
to this:
HTML objects are not the same as normal app UI objects, so you have to make sure you are using the right thing.
Change this:
Code: Select all
Ranorex.Text usrName = Host.Local.FindSingle("/dom[@domain='qa01.crowdtor.ch']//input[#'UserName']", 5000);
Code: Select all
Ranorex.InputTag usrName = Host.Local.FindSingle("/dom[@domain='qa01.crowdtor.ch']//input[#'UserName']", 5000);

Re: Text box is "input-box large watermark"
Thanks a lot!
Also I changed it to this
WebElement usrName = Host.Local.FindSingle("/dom[@domain='qa01.crowdtor.ch']//input[#'UserName']", 5000);
and it works.

Re: Text box is "input-box large watermark"
Just remember that "Element" and "WebElement" are generic, and do not implement all of the actions that a specific adapter would, like "InputTag", so there are times when you will need to use the specific adapter.
I would recommend always using the specific adapter anyway, because it will still have everything the Element/WebElement does, but will force you to use it correctly and will be type-checked at compile time instead of run-time.
And, you are very welcome!

Re: Text box is "input-box large watermark"
Thanks for your help. I'm trying to design test framework for our web application without using Ranorex IDE and repository. I want to reference Ranorex library in my VS 2010 project and use NUnit as a test framework.
So I can use RxXPath and Spy to refer to the web elements only.
I was looking around and cannot find a lot documentation how to do this in a right way.
For example, when I open my application in FireFox I can see in a spy two objects of the same page.
In my case it's a login page
One is a 'DOM Log On' and type is WebDocument and can be coded like this:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("firefox.exe", "http://qa01.crowdtor.ch");
WebDocument webDocument = "/dom[@domain='qa01.crowdtor.ch']";
The second one is 'Form Log On - Mozilla Firefox'
and I can refer to it as
Host.Local.OpenBrowser("qa01.crowdtor.ch", "firefox", "", false, false);
Form CMS = Host.Local.FindSingle<Form>("/form[@title='Log On - Mozilla Firefox']");
Both ways seems to work. But I have no idea what is the difference between these two methods and which one I should pick?
Thanks,

Re: Text box is "input-box large watermark"
You will typically want to use the WebDocument ("dom") object, as this is the actual web page. The other is Firefox's presentation, and may not be consistent. Some objects will not be in the "Form" that are in the "Dom", especially some of the non-standard HTML stuff.
The WebDocument is presented by Ranorex's Firefox plugin so it should be better at representing the HTML.

Re: Text box is "input-box large watermark"
Can I replace System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("firefox.exe", "http://qa01.crowdtor.ch");
with another command like Host.Local.StartBrowser?

Re: Text box is "input-box large watermark"
Sure. Behind the scenes they do essentially the same thing, but it is more concise and easier to understand, especially for non-coders.
On a related note, while I am a .NET developer myself, I have found that using the recording action table (you don't have to just record and play-back) with repository objects is very powerful and easy to maintain. There will be times when you need to write code, but for the most part, the more you do with the action table, the better off you will be. It will also make it easier for others to manage/change/maintain.
I do as little as possible in pure code. If I get hit by a bus tonight on the way home, I want the rest of the QA team (who, for the most part, aren't coders) to be able to pick as much of it up as possible.
Also, make your modules as small and atomic as possible. It will be easier to re-use a module that just clicks the "Continue" button, for example, than it would be to reuse one the flows through a whole website.
Then you can just string modules together in the test suite editor to get it to do what you want.
Anyway, experiment, play, and have fun!

Re: Text box is "input-box large watermark"
Can we get user to put data during Run time.
Like in QTP we had InputBox for getting user input.
Please Help!!

Re: Text box is "input-box large watermark"
As the Ranorex team told you, many of the questions you have can be answered by reading the user manual. http://www.ranorex.com/support/user-guide-20.html
Anything that can be done in QTP can be done in Ranorex, plus a lot more, but you will need to learn how to do it. And you will probably want to learn VB.NET or C#.NET (I recommend C#).

Here is how you can implement Input box in Ranorex:
