Hello,

I am having issues setting up a Popup watcher. I am on Windows 10 Enterprise and Ranorex 8.3.2.

I get several errors saying Popup Watcher does not contain definitions for what I am trying to do (see screenshot)

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong as I have modified code from https://github.com/ranorex/Packages/blo ... Library.cs and pop-up-handler-watcher-t9521.html

I think you may be confused on how to take advantage of the automation helpers. Give this a read and let us know if you get stuck:

• Automation helpers - https://www.ranorex.com/help/latest/han ... g-started/
• Automation helpers webinar - https://www.ranorex.com/automated-testi ... n-helpers/

The popup watcher feature of the automation helpers can be used like so once you add the automation helpers:

Add new action --> User Code --> Select from Library

You should see a list of all the methods that come with the automation helpers including the PopupWatcherLibrary.

Hope this helps

Thanks - the webinar link cleared things up and was very helpful.
