Hello,
I created a new test using Ranorex 5.3.2 and after the update on Ranorex 5.4.0 a simple mouse-click doesn't work anymore:
Right before the mouse-click is a validation that the item to click on is visible. This test works right before the update for many times.
What is going wrong?
Regards.

Without more information it is going to be hard to help.
Can you post a Ranorex snapshot of the element, or send it to [email protected]?
Also, please post or send the RanoreXPath that you are using.

Did you connect two or more monitors?

I had a similar problem. Have the error only when you start the test from the Ranorex Studio or even if you start the exe?

Yes, the behavior is identical, regardless if I start from Studio or command line.AFI wrote:I had a similar problem. Have the error only when you start the test from the Ranorex Studio or even if you start the exe?

Hi.
Just a little observation:
- There are two click-events on similar elements - one works fine, the other fails
- The click-destinations both have variables in the RXPath: (.//text[@caption=$Artikelgruppe] and .//text[@caption=$Bezeichnung1]). Ranorex clicks the first item without problem, the value for the variable is "Filter". Ranorex fails to click the second item, the value for this variable is "Ölfilter". When I replace the variable with the static text "Ölfilter" Ranorex can click the item. Maybe the German vowel confuses Ranorex?

Quick and Dirty:
Remove Ö and search like this .//text[@caption~$StringWithoutÖ]
Seriously, can you post a Ranorex snapshot of the element?

I send Ranorex the snapshot yesterday and I don't want to change the value of the variable - its name is without any special character.

And finally it worked in version 5.3.2.
But I don't think the special character is the problem.
No, it is not the German vowel that confuses Ranorex. The mouse-click works fine when the variable is unbound and the mouse-click fails when the variable is bound - both tests were made using the value "Ölfilter".BCTest wrote:When I replace the variable with the static text "Ölfilter" Ranorex can click the item.

Hope this helps more.

Hello,
found it in ReleaseNotes:
So it is a known issue but confusing because Ranorex first was able to validate this item (screenshot at the beginning: visible is true) but could not click it.
Regards.
found it in ReleaseNotes:
After changing the name of the bound variable the test performs like in version 5.3.2.Known issues
If a test case uses a data column and a parameter with the same name is defined in it or one of its parent test cases, the value of the parameter is used instead of the data column value
So it is a known issue but confusing because Ranorex first was able to validate this item (screenshot at the beginning: visible is true) but could not click it.
