Using variables in recordings

[zator]

Hey, have technical question about Ranorex Recorder. I would like to use RunApplication action which path is based on two variables. Thats what i did:

1. I add three variables to recording
2. I bound two of them using dataConnector
3. I set the third variable in Init() method of that recording
4. I use the third variable as path of RunApplication action

When such configured recording is finished i get warnings that the third variable is not Bound to any data. My question is is there a better mechanism to achieve what i want or is it possible to remove these warnings??

Hi Paweł,

If you want to overcome this warning I would use a global parameter instead of the third module variable, or a module variable which is bound to a global parameter.
The global parameter can also be set using the command line argument "param|pa:<global parameter name>=<value>".
It is recommended to use a global parameter for saving the path to your application under test.

Thanks Markus, i bound variable to global parameter and warnings disappear.
