Ranorex Forum

Hi,

I am new to Ranorex. I have a Silverlight App which I need to test. What I learned from the user guide and videos I recorded one test suite but keep getting this msg on playback.

Dont know how to figure it out.

Failed to find item 'TestSuiteRepository.WebDocument.InputTagUserName' within the specified timeout of 1m. No element found for path 'dom[@domain='IP Address']/body/form/div[@id='Div2']/div[2]/input[@id='UserName']' within 1m.

Hi,

Have you checked if Spy finds the RxPath?
Would it be possible to send us a Ranorex Snapshot of the entire application to check if the RxPath exists?
Also take a look to following documentation

Hi,

I increased the wait time and it did work. Looks like Ranorex can serve our needs but I want more information about this tool.

Basically our application is more of a data driven rather than UI animations .It heavily uses sql server operations/calls and does all these through RIA services. Where can I get the information about data driven UI automation ?

Is there any way I can dump my test data through stored proc call through Ranorex and verify that data on playback ?

Since this is all done in standard .NET framework you can write your own code (C#, VB.NET) to call the stored procedure(s), output the result to any format you want (XML, text, Excel, et...) or even populate variables/arrays at runtime and use that data as your verification source.

Doing a quick Google search on "c# stored proc call" results in quite a few hits on how to use stored procedures in C#.

Thanks Ciege.

One more query on this.

So I write a method which executes store procedure. Where do I call this method before I start play back. Would it be at Repository intialization ?

Thanks again...

Well , 1 thing I don't use is the repository, so I'm not quite sure where in code that lies...

I use all custom code with Visual Studio, not the Ranorex IDE. However, that should make little difference. I assume that if you need any item in the repository for accessing your backend data then you would need to have the repository initialized first. If you don't then there probably is no difference in what order they are done. You just need to have accessed your database data and stored the values so that they are available for verification before you actually begin the verification.

All of this can be done at runtime so that you will always have the most current test data and be able to even use different datasets on each successive run of your test code.

Hi,

have a look at following chapters of our user guide, which will explain you how to manage data driven tests and how to work with data connectors:
