Ranorex Driver launch issue

Post by KateW » Mon Mar 28, 2022 10:33 am

Hi,

I downloaded Ranorex Studio 10.1.7 and Ranorex Driver 10.1.7. The installation was successful but I am having trouble with launching Ranorex Driver app. I am starting the service but the RxDriver icon is not visible in the Windows toolbar and the proccess is not running in the task manager.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

Yes, I can confirm there is something fishy about this Ranorex driver. I just tired it and it does not start for me too. I will drop a question to Ranorex folks.

To be quite honest, I see no good reason to use this app. Ranorex itself is much more powerful ;) Why are you considering it? Is there something you cannot do with Ranorex Studio and you hope to achieve with this driver app?

Hi,

Thank you for checking.

Regarding your question :) In my daily work I use Python+Selenium and Robot Framework.
With Ranorex Driver, I can still use the same technology with some Ranorex functionalities to test desktop applications.

Please keep me updated regarding Ranorex Driver.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I understand your view. On the other hand, Ranorex Studio offers much wider range of tools than this Driver implementation, so I think it's worth to dig in the Studio and learn some new tricks? ;)

As for the issue, it appears to be a new and not yet known issue. Let's hope Ranorex folks will fix it soon or deliver a viable workaround ;) I will keep you updated.
