Ranorex Test Runner Freezing in VM
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2016 6:45 pm
Well,
I hope someone out there can help me. I originally was on VirtualBox and started to notice that on Windows 10 VM my Ranorex Tests would randomly freeze in different places of the test suite.
The only way to progress was to manually intervene and this would require clicking in the VM and Clicking only on the Windows Icon in the bottom left of the Windows 10 OS. Nothing else would cause the test to proceed except for that. The other weird thing is that the Ranorex Test itself cannot even timeout. Something is directly interfering with the runner.
I read another forum on here that stated that moving to VMWare helped them. So inevitably I took the leap and ported over to VMWare. This solved my problem temporarily. However, now, I am in the same boat of my VM freezing randomly in Windows 10 and having to manually intervene. What gives? Is there any workaround?
Is it a windows process? Can it be my Jenkins JNLP connection? Please if someone has experienced this issue, please reply back...I'm getting desperate and hopeless that this isn't the solution for us.
