Ranorex Forum

After I installed the 4.0.3 installation another rxlog file is created when a script is executed. The report format is: %S_%Y%M%D_%T.rxlog

This other files has the following format: %S_XmlReport_%Y%M%D_%T.rxlog
sample: TestCase_XmlReport_20130513_121731.rxlog

and after the script is executed this report is opened. This report has a different format and I would like to have the old one to be open instead of this one. I don't have any custom reports I always use the default one.

Please help.

Hi,

It's because the format of RX log file has been changed in RX 4.0...

Report files are now separated in a view (*.rxlog) and a data file (*.rxlog.data) -> change your code to use the data file for parsing reports on your own (XML format unchanged)

I moved from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 and I am using the ranorex studio. I had those files before. Can you please clarify? thanks

Ah sorry! I somehow thought you moved from 3.x to 4.0.3 The _XmlReport_ part in your report name is definitely weird. And creation of two rxlog files is strange too. Are you sure the other file is rxlog and not rxzlog (compressed rxlog)?

Thanks odklizec. Yes i am sure it is rxlog. I get 2 rxlog and 1 rxlog.data

Hi,

Do you use the Report.Setup() method somewhere in code?
Is the "%S_XmlReport_%Y%M%D_%T.rxlog" format specified somewhere in code or in the Test Suite settings?
Could you please send or post the three report files? This would help us in order to analyze this issue in detail.

Thanks,
Markus

I don't use the report.setup() method anywhere in the code and that format is not specified anywhere in the code either. I am going to email you the reports.

Also I take the same code and I run it in another box with the test suite runner and I get the right reports.

Also I noticed that after the execution the studio brings up the "good" report first and then flashes to the other one.

Hello,

We have changed reporting in Ranorex 4.0.3.
If you try to call a method that uses report (e.g. Report.Info) before the Test Suite is initialized, an additional Report will be created with the old 2.x style.

Could you please check, if you are using our Report class somewhere in your code before the Test Suite is initialized?

Thank you in advance.

I do not use the Report class in my code before the test suite is initialized.
I opened the keepass sample from the installation and I selected the TC_OpenLoginAndClose deselecting the other ones and ran it. I get the same plain report. I uninstalled and reinstalled the studio and I still get the plain report.
Could it be a setting?

Thanks

Hello,

This is a weird behavior.

Have you installed Ranorex using setup.exe in order to install all prerequisites of Ranorex?
Which Windows version do you use?
Could you please try to start Ranorex as Administrator?
Do you face the same issue if you try to run another sample (e.g. VIPWebTest)?

Thank you in advance.

Yes I installed ranorex using the setup.exe
I use window 7
I already tried using ranorex as administrator
I am going to try the other sample (vipwebtest)

I uninstalled Ranorex, went through the whole HD and deleted every file I could find. Installed it back and opened my project. Executed and it worked. I guess it was something but It is working now.

Hello,

Thank you for your information.
