Hi,

Could you please show us, how exactly do you run the app under test? Also, what version of Ranorex do you use (most recent is 9.3.1)?

Hi,

Im using Ranorex 9.1.0 version

how exactly do you run the app under test? ----- i run the .exe file and the app opens and after 2-3 steps of script execution .. this dialogue box comes and it is getting struck there

i run using this commonad

Host.Local.RunApplication(CompletePath);

and CompletePath = " c:\..\..\..\App.exe "

Hi,

At first, your Ranorex is somewhat old and no longer supported. Please update to most recent 9.3.1. If nothing else, there were a lot of bugfixes introduced between 9.1.0 and 9.3.1. Debugging a problem in an obsolete version makes no sense.

At next, instead of code, try to use Run action in Ranorex recording. Just to see if it does any difference? And don't forget to fill up "Working Directory" parameter. In some cases, empty Working Directory could introduce some issues, because the app may be not loaded in correct context (its own libs are not loaded properly).

[Stub]

Depending on how you have things setup you may be able to start your application under a debugger, then get Ranorex to start interacting with that debug session, thus trapping any exceptions or errors from your application. That's something I do occasionally here.

Hi,

Thanks so much for the qucik suggestions

i will update ranorex version and check the issue again
and one doubt ..

this is the run application method from the ranorex lib

public int RunApplication(string fileName, string arguments, string workingDirectory, bool maximized)

i understood all the parameters from the method, except from "workingDirectory"
what does the working directory mean, what value shd i provide for that parameter ???

say my application path is ...... "c\program files\abc\abc.exe"
what shd i provide for working dir ???

Hi,

Working directory is the directory, from where the app is started. So in your case "c:\program files\abc".
