Ranorex 8.0 stop of recording after application start

Post by giovsang » Sat Feb 03, 2018 8:59 am

Hi,

I used the record function for an android mobile application in ranorex 6.2 and I had no problems.
I updated to ranorex 8.0 and now if I start the record from Ranorex Studio", Ranorex Spy opens and the recording stops, without errors; if I do operations on the device, I find them in Ranorex Spy and can import them in the repository .

If I use directly Ranorex Record I receive the following error message:
"System.NotSupportedException: Specified method is not supported.
---STACKTRACE---

Ranorex.Core.Utils.IO.NoIDEService.OpenSpy() +0x5

Is there any configuration to set, I have to download any module?

Hi,

I think you missed the information in Ranorex 8.0 release notes that recording is discontinued for mobile devices?

You can find more details about the reasons of removing recording for mobile devices here...
