Ranorex can't find an element that spy just found

Post by QATest879 » Tue Mar 07, 2023 3:40 pm

If I open an application, and then open Spy, and then track an element on Spy. And then use the element in a recording on Ranorex, it says it can't find the element even though I just got the element directly from Spy a few minutes prior.

Does anybody know the solution for this problem? Thank you.

Hi, could be related to the way the element comes into view/gets enabled during the execution. Have you tried the delay before the step with the element or a verification step to check the "visible" property?
