Hi,

When I try to execute a test case I am getting the below error .

"Project is configured as dll and no execution command is specified. You can specify an execution command in the project option"

My project option is as below. Please help to make it executable form Test Suite.

Hi,

You must change Output type to 'Console' or 'Windows' application.

Tried both. Its not working still. Please help

Hi,

Are you sure the project you changed to Console/Windows application is set as Startup project? How many projects do you have in your solution?

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no projects or anything in Startup objects as you see in screenshot. (Why so?)

All I could do is to change the “Output Type” value.

Hi,

To set the project as Startup project, simply right click the project (in Projects view) and select Set as startup project...

Tried to do the same steps. But when I click on "“Set as startup project” I got the same error again!

Adding to my previous reply.. The error is showing for one project only which I have to execute now.

And for the other one I was able to successfully set it as start up project and able to select the project name from "Startup object" too.

How to fix the other project?

Hi,

As the error message suggests, the project is still configured as dll (class library). You must set it as Console/Windows application, otherwise, it's not executable.

When I right click the project and clicked on “Select as Startup project” I got the above error.

Then I went to project properties, selected “Output Type” as “Console Application”. The “startup object” was missing.

Now when I right clicked the project I was able to select “Select as Startup project” with now error and it was set. But the problem is “startup object” drop down is still empty in the project properties even after setting the project as startup.

Hi,

"Startup object" combo is probably not important. At least I have it empty and all works as expected.

Ofcourse its all the same. Still no luck

Well, it looks really weird. I think the solution is probably corrupted? What version of Ranorex do you use? Have you tried to reproduce the problem with fresh new solution? I think you will have to contact Ranorex support and send them your solution for review.

Its 9.1.2.

I see a potential issue in your project settings! Please click the button with blue icon under Output type settings and uncheck Configuration-specific option! Or, if you want to preserve this option enabled, you must switch the project Configuration from "Debug" to "Release" and then change the Output type also there! You see, with enabled Configuration-specific option, Debug and Release settings could differ, which is most probably also your case!
