Ranorex Forum

Hello Team,

I am using Ranorex 5.1 and evaluating it for a project. I am facing the below issue and my scripts keeps failing because of this issue :
'LineageGlueRule 'chrome_web_child_elements' caused RanorexException or Execute. Error in MsgHostDom call : Tabid doesn't exist.' .

I am running the application in IE 10. I have searched the forums as well but couldn't find any solution to this problem. Please check the attached screenshot for more details.
Please suggest how to fix this one.

Regards
Jaspreet

Hi Jaspreet,

I can see in your screenshot that the Chrome browser is open. Can you please try to close the Chrome browser and run your script again? The message should not appear if the Chrome browser is closed.

Bernhard

Thanks for your reply.
I will try this. This error also stopped appearing when I did 'Clean Solution' for the project.

Hi,

I've recently seen the same message (LineageGlueRule 'chrome_web_child_elements' caused RanorexException on Execute. Error in MsgHostDom call: Tab id does not exist) for one of my tests. I'm using Ranorex 5.2.1 and Chrome to run the automated tests.
The message occurred when the test script was looking for a div html element on a web page opened in the second tab of Chrome browser. To find the expected div element I'm using Find<WebElement> (path, timeout) Adapter method where the adapter is browser's WebDocument (the Dom).

Do you have any suggestions why this may have occurred?

Thank you,
Elena

Hi Elena,

May I ask you to update Ranorex to the latest version (5.4) and to try reproducing this behavior?

Please let me know if the latest version solves this issue.
Thank you.

Hi Markus,

A Ranorex upgrade is in plan but it might take a while since other teams are using Ranorex and we have to do it at a convenient time for everyone. I'll come back to this with an update.

Thank you,
Elena
