Timeout Value from Global Settings not Considered

Post by abhishek salvi » Tue Dec 08, 2015 10:20 am

Dear All,

I am testing a Hybrid application on Android device using Ranorex Studio. This application pulls data from backend server and there can be a delay getting the data depending on how much data is pulled and how good is the internet connectivity. To avoid timeouts I have maintained 10 mins as Timeout in the Global Settings tab of Ranorex Studio. However, I see that when the test is started (Play), the default timeout for searching an event is set to 1.5 mins. Due to this the testing fails saying XYZ element was not found. Does anyone know where all should I make changes in the Ranorex studio to have a timeout of 10 mins (or any other custom value)?

Thanks,
Abhishek.

Dear All,
Found a solution for this issue.
In Ranorex Studio select the element (step) --> RIght-click --> Set Search Timeout
As a workaround you can also use the Wait step before the action.

Thanks,
Abhishek.
