Hi,

I'm afraid, that without seeing, at very least, a Ranorex snapshot (NOT screenshot) of each AUT version and some example xpaths from both versions, there is not much anyone here can do or suggest. Generally speaking, if both versions are too different, you will most probably have to create two versions of repository? But as mentioned, without seeing the snapshot(s), it's impossible to suggest something reliable.

Please add these details to your questions:
  • Ranorex Snapshot. Learn how to create one >here<
  • Ranorex xPath of problematic element(s)
  • Ranorex version
  • OS version
  • HW configuration

We branch our source code, including our Ranorex tests. Our older version tends to only see essential maintenance performed on it, while the development version continues to expand and evolve. That's the approach we've taken here. It saves having to put conditionals into our tests, which makes things a lot cleaner.
