Have created a snapshot (standalone spy)of both elements that I see in spy, not sure which one should be considered

Hi,

Thanks for the snapshots. Well, as I've expected, there is no addon available for the embedded IE:

Which means that there is nothing you can do about the element search speed in such IE-based browser.

On the other hand, I've tried both xpaths, pointing directly to "dom" and "form//dom" and they both work OK in the snapshot? So they should work during runtime as well...
/dom[@domain='identity-stg.trimble.com']//input[#'user']
/form[@controlname='BrowserAuthenticationWindow']/container[@controlname='webBrowserPanel']//dom[@domain='identity-stg.trimble.com']//input[#'user']
If they don't, I would recommend to try below (or similarly detailed) xpath instead...

Code: Select all

/dom[@domain='identity-stg.trimble.com']/body//div[@id='right-section']/div[@class='main-cntr']//form[@id='loginForm']//input[@id='user']
Another thing you might try is to run your test on another machine. Just to see, if there is any difference.
And of course, your last option is to contact Ranorex support ;) But I guess that more precise xpath will help?

Hi,

Well, I'm afraid, that there is no other option than to contact Ranorex support? They will need to analyze the issue on your machine, so remote session will be most probably required.
