Hello,
I am currently trying to figure out how to use remote agents to conduct a data-driven test. The basis for the test is an excel sheet which is stored on a shared drive.
I can run other tests on remote agents without problems but with the data-driven one I always receive the following error message:
Failed to get rows from data source: The Excel file with name 'filename and path' could not be found.
It works fine when I run the script on my machine.
Thanks in advance for the help.

hi,
you need to make sure that your excel file also gets copied to the remote machine.
You could choose "Copy file to project" for your excel data connector:

Hi,
Loading Excel file from shared drive is definitely bad idea! You should definitely store the file in your project and load it locally, not from shared/network drive. Also, you should keep the data connector file in source control of your choice!

Hi,
Hmm I understand, do you mind telling me why it is a bad idea? I'm sorry if this is rather stupid question, but I'm fairly new to Ranorex and have never worked with it before.
Thanks in advance!
