Ranorex Forum

After spending months creating tests, our dev team swapped the main menu of our application from WinForms to WPF. Now all of my tests fail, (as they all use the main menu extensively). Is there a way for Ranorex to automagically adapt from WinForms to WPF?

Hi,

There is definitely no automatic way to convert WinForms-based repo to WPF-based repo. You will have to update each repo item manually (using Ranorex Spy). There is unfortunately no other way. The good thing is, that your scenarios may stay unchanged, depending of the level of UI changes.

Sorry to say buddy, but how far I know there is no automatic process as of now. Hopefully they will bring soon!

I've heard about an online Win2WPF converter, but have never used it myself.

Hi,

Can you move all your (modified) menu-items to a rooted folder in the repo ?
this would make modification probably easier.

The repo file is editable with text editor, so (regex) replacement can be done on content.
If the end part of your xpath is still the same you only have to change the rooted folder or the left part(s) of x-path.

Hope this helps!
