I hope, i'm not very annoying

I get an error from time to time, but regularly.

The error is like this:

System.ArgumentException: Cannot move entry 'TextText' to folder 'TabPageListTab'.
at Ranorex.Core.Repository.RepositoryFolder.MoveChild(RepositoryEntry child, RepositoryFolder targetFolder)
at Ranorex.Core.Recorder.RepositoryGenerator.BuildGroups(String currentPrefix, List`1 paths, Dictionary`2 elementPathMap, ElementRepository repo, RepositoryFolder curFolder, Configuration config)

at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

After i got this error spy doesn't work correct anymore. When i save my repository now and reopen it, it got some defect, because some elements are missing and others are listened, but i can't move them or do anything else with them until i add them new.
I also can't add the element where the error appeared until i reopen spy, then there is no error anymore...

Could you please help me, because it's very annoying getting this error all the time and hoping that the repository doesn't loose any entries.

regards
philipp

Hi Michael!

I'm using Ranorex 2.0.1.5691.

Sry but i can't get a way to consistenly reproduce the error

and it seems like the bigger my repository grows the oftener the error occures...

But sometimes i work hours until the error occurs again and sometimes it only takes aprox. 10 min. to get the error again.

The problem is i can't see any connection from one error to the next one.

philipp,

please try to update to version 2.0.2 and check if the error persists.
If it does we will try to fix it for V2.1.0
