Ranorex Forum

Hello,

Been using Ranorex with an application for a while and works great. Using on our web apps I'm having problems.

When editing the path in Spy I'm getting a "No Element Where Found" but I do see it there.

Below it's complaining about "/frame[@id='top1']"

/dom[@domain='website' and @caption~'^Pro\ Loan\ and\ Mortga' and @page='MainNavigation.aspx']//frameset[#'fsCols1']/frame[@id='top1']//iframe[#'bottom']/body/form/center/table[1]/tbody/tr[3]/td/center/table[1]/tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/input[@title~'^CIF\ number\ must\ be\ betwee']

How or what do I need to enter that Ranorex will see this or work?

Cheers

Hello,

Could it be that the id of that element changes after you have restarted/reloaded your web app?
Is the posted RxPath, the RxPath you are using in order to identify the input tag?
In order to analyze the issue in detail we would need a Ranorex snapshot file of your web app.
Following link will show you how to generate a snapshot file:

Hello Markus,

Created a snap shot and emailed it using your support email.

Hello,

Thanks for the snapshot!
Could it be that you used the wrong attribute for the specific frame, because in the snapshot the used attribute is "name" and not "id": "/dom[@caption~'^ProLender\ Loan\ and\ Mortga']//frameset[#'fsCols1']/frame[@name='top1']".
If think the problem is that you used some attributes in your repo elements which are not robust enough and which will change after a restart of the web app, therefore I would suggest analyzing the elements with the Spy tool and using an attribute which won't change.
The easiest way would be to create two snapshots, one before the restart and one after it and then you are easily able to compare the two files and check which attributes have changed.

Hi Markus,

Sent another snap shot in which this time the elements are successfully been identified from Ranorex. When updating the Path and just goes back to the way it was.

Hi Mike,

I am not sure I completely got this "When updating the Path and just goes back to the way it was.", could you explain it in another more detailed way?
