issue with "run recording module" in a module library

Post by TestBalloon » Fri Mar 04, 2022 11:49 am

Hello,

Im using a trial version of ranorex 10.1.6 for evaluation purposes.
OS Name Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (64 bit).

I have an issue with using the "run recording module" button while using a module library project type.
See this example
Example.png
(press the run recording button)
Which produces this error:
Error.png
I found a workaround, which is to include this recording in a testcase in a test suite project and execute the testcase. That works fine.
But this doesn't allow me to use any of the step execution options (run this step, runs selected steps, run module).

Another workaround is to create the recording module in the test suite project, which also works fine. But this prevents module libraries for multiple applications to be in separate libraries, which I think is an important design philosopy.

On Win10 "run recording module" works fine from a library project as well.

Any ideas and resolutions why the combination MS Server 2012 R2 + Library Project + "run recording module" doesn't work?

Thank you

Hi,

In my opinion, there is something missing/corrupted on the server? Have you tried manually install/reinstall all Ranorex SW requirements?

Also, make sure Ranorex (and tests built with Ranorex) are whitelisted in the antivirus you may probably using on the server.

Hello,

I reinstalled the requirements, though I don't think it changes anything, and it did not - same as before.

Then I implemented the same exact recording module in a library project, then in a test project. For the test project, it works (so the virus scanner and requirements are not interfering here), for the library project it doesn't work (error above).

I also had a look at the compiled modules, but I cannot deciper binary so that analysis does end here. All I can say is that they are mostly the same, but not identical.

If I get the chance to install this on another machine, I will post the result here..
