Ranorex Forum

Hi,

> We are trying to install Chrome on Android Emulator. But the instrumentation failed. I have attached the error.
> We tried using Instrumentation Flag as '-static -multidex' also as suggested on the forum. But still we are getting the same error.
> So we tried using different Versions of Chrome,

Ranorex Version - 7.2.1
The Android(Tablet) Version of the Emulator - Android 7.1.1
Chrome APK Versions Tried - Chrome v38.0(API Level 14), v39.0(API Level 14), v40.0(API Level 16), v42.0(API Level 14), v43.0(API Level 16), v45.0(API Level 16), v64.0(API Level 21), v71.0(API Level 16)

> We tried installing the above APKs with no luck.
> Please advice, is this an incompatibility issue? Is the Chrome version not compatible with Android version? If so, kindly let us know which Chrome version and API Level should be used.

Hi,

I'm afraid, without knowing more details about the error you got (available under "Details"), there is not much anyone here can do or suggest.

As you are trying to instrument a 3rd party app, make sure the apk is not obfuscated! This is something most app developers probably do before releasing an app to public!

At next, Ranorex 7.2.1 is too old and no longer supported! Please try the instrumentation in most recent Ranorex 8.3.2 (even in trial mode).

As for the Chrome compatibility with Android version you are using, this is something you must consult with Chrome developers. Have you tried to install Chrome manually (i.e. without instrumenting it)?

Hi odklizec,

The error as follows,

System.Exception: Failed to deploy the application via USB. Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]

Hi,

Natively, mobile webs can be tested only via Ranorex-own RxBrowser. If you want to use native Android (Chrome) or iOS (Safari) web browsers, you must use Appium integration. Check for example this video:

Hi odklizec,

Thanks for helping us out. Your help is much appreciated

> We have installed Ranorex 8.3.2 trial version as you suggested.
> We have recorded a script on Chrome on Windows 7. We are trying to run the script on Android Emulator(Chrome Browser v55.0) through Appium.
> When we try to run the script, the Emulator Browser opens with the url whatever we've given and it searches for the element. Eventually it fails to find the element.
> I have attached the screenshot for your reference.
> Initially it was "mouse click" event, but that was not working. So we changed it to "touch". But this is also not working.
> We tried to track the element on the Emulator. But we could not.

Is there anything wrong? Kindly help us.

Hi,

If I understand it right, your original problem is now solved and there is a new issue? Next time, please create a new post, instead of using an old post for new problem Thanks.

As for your new issue, well, I think that switching touch and click is useless as the main problem is, that Ranorex apparently cannot find the element in question. Hence it cannot click or touch it. Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure how to debug this kind of issue on webdriver? While using Desktop/Mobile endpoint, I would suggest to take the snapshot of entire DOM and examine if the xpath you have in repo really exists in the snapshot. But if I'm not mistaken, taking snapshots is not possible on webdriver? I would suggest to try to replace the unique identifier #'menu' in Forms xpath with @id='menu'. At next, try to reduce the xpath to just //div[@id='menu']//span[@innertext='Forms'], eventually just //span[@innertext='Forms'] or //*[@innertext='Forms'].

Hi,

I'm using Appium webdriver endpoint to test a mobile web application in the native browser Chrome.
I followed step by step this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbWb1Y8597Q (It's so helpfull thank you )

After running => the browser is launched with the right url but I have also the same problem that says "Not element found" when trying to click on the button.
I changed the xpath by using @ instead of # and I reduced the xpath as said in the last post, but nothing works

Any other idea please

Thanks !

Hi Dhouha,

Just create a dom element in your repository with no attributes and create a "Snapshot" action in your recording table and run the test via Appium:
Your report should then contain a snapshot of the dom from the device. If you compare that snapshot to the snapshot of the browser on your desktop, then they will probably not be the same for whatever reason. Can you try that?

Hello,

Now I'm working on another project in order to automate tests on mobile android application.
The instrumentation and deployement are well done, but when I try to record I select my endpoint and the application to test, and this message is displayed ==> "Unfortunaly "app name" has stopped"
I don't know why !! I m using the last version of ranorex 9 and his renaorex service app.
I tried with another mobile application and it works !

Any idea please ??

Hi,

I think this kind of issue will require Ranorex investigation? So all I can suggest is to create a support ticket:
