Hi,
Its been many days i visited Ranorex Forums, Currently i am having problems in recording scripts in Chrome. Is there any new update released from Ranorex to support for Chrome. Please let me know the cause, why Ranorex does not recognize objects in Chrome. I have been using Ranorex to record scripts in Chrome since many days. All of a sudden i realized that old scripts are not playing and also i am unable to record new ones. (I would like to bring to your notice, that i had installed Chrome Ranorex Extension. )
(Ranorex Version :4.1.5)
Thanks,
Phani

Hi,
Ranorex 4.1.5 is a pretty old version, which most probably supports only old version of Chrome. If you accidentally updated Chrome to most recent version, you will have to either update Ranorex to most recent version (try latest Ranorex trial) or uninstall your recent Chrome version and return back to the one which worked fine with 4.1.5.

Hi,
I have the same issue, but on ranorex 5.4.0
Chrome version: 43.0.23 (no auto updates)
Windows: 7 enterprise 64bit, servicepack 1
yesterday night (GMT+1) all my tests for Chrome passed.
If I run them now they fail.
Not all the actions fail, only the ones using an iFrame. Also when I try to record for example a button in the iFrame, it will record a click with repository item domain and not repository item button.
I've updated my chrome version to 46, but it's not a solution.
Firefox and IE no problems.
Thanks
Tim

Hi TimRo,
as discuessed by email. Please start your chrome browser using the --disable-web-security flag
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-web-security
Additionally, please ensure that the "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" option is disabled in the Chrome Advanced Settings.
Regards,
Markus (S)

Hi Markus,
Can this option of disabling web security flag be done outside of the command prompt?
Once set, does this stay permanently or it will go away once you reboot/restart your PC?
We have very tight security process here and web browser settings are usually out of our control; our Security Team has to approve along with our managers/supervisors approval in order for this to happen.
Google doesn't like to put a "Save" button in their Settings screen, I guess.
After disabling the "Continue running background..." option that you mentioned, my guess is it is automatically saved.
Can you please provide a little more details on what this option does and why it should be disabled?
Thanks.
Gilbert

Re: All of a sudden Objects are not recognized in Chrome.
Hi Gilbert,
This setting is only enabled temporarily, so it will be gone after you have closed your Chrome instances.
Also there is unfortunately no other possibility than using the command prompt or creating a shortcut with this flag.
Concerning the “continue running background apps” option
If this option is enabled and you close Chrome, the process will kept running and you will see a small Chrome icon in the notification bar of your desktop.
Disabling this option will ensure that every Chrome process is closed.
