Path Editor

Post by johannes » Thu Jan 04, 2018 2:24 pm

Hi,

we use Ranorex 6.2, our AUT is based on Electron

When recording the result returns the whole Path - sometimes it´s to´much and all nodes are not necessary to catch the Control in question.

It is possible to configure the record mode for this ?

thx Hannes

Hello Johannes,

Please see the following page of the user guide: AdvancedSettings

Scroll down to "RanoreXPath generation mode:" and see if the "StepCostReduce" option gives you a path more to your liking. If the resulting path is not short enough, then you will probably have to manually change it.

Regards,
McTurtle

If your element is represented by an unique id, why do you use SPY at all. Trim your xPath to only one element by using '//'

Hi, thanks...

i´m not so firm with this tool. but for me the AUT is a black blox - so I don´t know the value of the ID. Therefore I use the SPY (Recording mode). And than it get back the whole Path. I thought there is a possibility to trim before tracking without editing manually after that.
