RanoreXPath operator precedence

Post by HansSchl » Tue Sep 25, 2018 3:54 pm

I want to specify a RanoreXPath that finds a form which is owned by either process P1 or P2, and which has a well-known window text. Being used to usual operator precedence, I am tempted to write

Code: Select all

/form[(@processname='P1' or @processname='P2') and @windowtext='mytext']
When I press ENTER, Ranorex removes the parentheses, so that I see

Code: Select all

/form[@processname='P1' or @processname='P2' and @windowtext='mytext']
so that I come to doubt whether the 'and' or the 'or' binds stronger in RanoreXPath.

Can anyone comment?

Hi,

You can use something like this...
/form[@processname~'P(1|2)' and @windowtext='mytext']
