Ranorex Forum

Hi,

we are trying to instrument our iOS App with Ranorex 6.2.0.
Everytime we instrument the App via InstrumentationWizard in Ranorex Studio we get the following error:

Instrumentation failed:

Please make sure that
- The IPA minimum OS version matches the device OS version
- The IPA supports the device architecture
- The IPA is not already insrumented with static Ranorex lib
- You are not using an IPA backup from app store

With these details:

System.ArgumentException: Illegales Zeichen im Pfad.

Any help would be great!
Is there any way to log and trace Ranorex?

We found the NLog.config and set the minloglevel to Trace. If we now start Ranorex.Instrumentation.exe via the command line, we are able to see any information provided by Ranorex. Immediatly before stopping Ranorex shows the following exception:

2017-01-10 16:51:44.9852|ERROR|Ranorex.Libs.FileSystem|TryDeleteDirectory failed to delete path 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\RanorexStudio6\RxEnv\iOS\temp\instrumentation'.

Followed by this one:

The used command line options are /pagename /dn /ip /k /sd /pw /pp /ai.
If we try to just install the App we use /si and remove /sd from the options and the App gets installed on the device. From this we guess the devices is connected.

Hi sboeck,

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure what is causing this error.
May I ask you to send an email to [email protected] with a non-instrumented version of your IPA?
This will allow us to further analyze your issue.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Matthias

Thanks to the Ranorex Support, we are now able to instrument our iOS App.

The InvalidCharacter-Exception was thrown because of the Character '*' in one of our files. This seems to be a bug in Ranorex. Just renaming the file helped.

It's most probably not a bug in Ranorex. Simply, asterisk character should not be used for file names!

In the Windows file system, the "*" character is a wildcard and it is not allowed as part of a file or folder name. You must rename your files to NOT include the "*" character.

The following characters are invalid as file or folder names on Windows using NTFS:
