Ranorex Forum

hi can somebody tell me how i can select this dropdown in ranorex. http://screencast.com/t/ZBxX5v5Qw.

Here is the recorded line in ranorex

And here is what i see when i open up ViewSpy http://screencast.com/t/EApVQaHFM

When i execute my test case ranorex fails to find 'overrideReasonPopup466890496' not sure what i need to do make this work

thanks

I should also add that this is a drop down list but the element is labeled as Popup, not sure if this helps

thanks

Hello,

Unfortunately the second image is not valid
Could you please post a Ranorex Snapshot file from the element and the RanorexPath, which is used in the repository? Please compare the RanorexPath in Spy with the path in your repository.
Thank you!

Bernhard

when i compared the path i noticed there is a dynamic id being used, so i created the reg-ex rule for it

Element ID
overrideReasonPopup153083278

Regex expression
[aA-zZ]+[0-9]*

but still no luck
thanks

if it's the changing/dynamic ID that's giving you the grief, you can always set the repository item XPath where this random ID is situated from:
which I'm imagining it to display as, to:
This should equate to "For any value of 'id' in this location"...unless I'm mistaken?

As support has already requested... Please post a Ranorex Snapshot file from the element...

sorry it took so long to reply but here is the snapshot

Hello,

Thank you for the snapshot file.
There is a new bolg on our website that describes how to work with dynamic id's (Automated Testing and Dynamic IDs).
Please let me know if this help solving your issue.

Thank you Bernhard , this is very helpful and I was looking this for a long time.
