variables in commandline argument reportfile not resolved

Post by andreas.tastler » Thu Jan 31, 2013 8:44 am

Hello,

Variables in the commandline argument reportfile will not be resolved in Ranorex 4.0.1.
example: %S_%Y%M%D_%T.rxlog

Best Regards

Hello Andreas,

I checked the argument and in my case it worked as expected, could you please check if the following command works on your machine: "C:\...\bin\Debug>YourExe.exe /rf:C:\Test\%S_%Y_%T.rxlog"?
Could you please also test it with the new Ranorex version, here is the link: Ranorex 4.0.2 and please use the setup.exe for the installation.

Thanks,
Markus

Hello,

Seems to be a fixed bug of 4.0.1. It works with 4.0.2.

Best Regards
Andreas

Hi,

I'm sorry to reopen this old post but it seems the same problem is still reproducible with compressed reports. Using below command line results with unresolved variables in output report file name:
/zr /zrf:c:\temp\%S_%Y%M%D_%T.rxzlog ends with %S_%Y%M%D_%T.rxzlog report name. Reproducible with Ranorex 5.0.2.

Hi,

Sorry for reopening this post one more time, but I guess the issue is not fixed yet? Or maybe it's broken again? ;)
After an attempt to use the below command line...

Code: Select all

C:\test\bin\test.exe /zr /zrf:C:\test\reports\%S_%Y%M%D_%T.rxzlog
the output report file name looks like this:

Code: Select all

YD_T.rxzlog
It seems the same now happens both with compressed and uncompressed report.
Reproducible with Ranorex 5.3.2.

Hi odklizec,

Unfortunately, we are not able to reproduce the issue with Ranorex 5.3.2. The fix for this issue was included in Ranorex 5.2.X. May I ask you to provide further details?
  • • operating system
    • Did you start the console with admin privileges?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert,

OK, I found 100% reproducible steps (reproduced with Win7 Pro and Win Server 2012 R2). It seems it happens only if the command line is started from batch file! ;)

Just add the command line to *.bat or *.cmd file. I found no way to start the bat/cmd file with admin privileges, but it's possible to do so via new shortcut created for such bat/cmd. However, this did not help either.

Hi odklizec,

Please ensure that you are escaping the '%' sign within your bat file.

E.g.:

Code: Select all

..\test.exe /zr/zrf:..\%%S_%%Y%%M%%D_%%T.rxzlog
:D

Regards,
Robert

Ah, silly me ;) Sorry for false alarm! I'm always forgetting about escaping in batch files.
