Hiya

We are finding the Spy tool isnt that reliable because the RxPath for elements inside a form dont include the form itself but instead have "*" in the path.

e.g.
I have Form1 that contains ToolBar1
In the Spy tool the RxPath for Form1 is:

/form[@title='MyApp']/container/form[@controlid='65280']

And the RxPath for ToolBar1 is:

/form[@title='MyApp']/container/*/toolbar[@controlid='59392']

How can we force the spy tool to get the RxPath for ToolBar1 to:

/form[@title='MyApp']/container/form[@controlid='65280']/toolbar[@controlid='59392']

Thanks

Hi atom,
there`s no way to configure the spy tool to generate RxPath diverse. We are attempt to keep the RxPath as economic as possible.

It would be nice though in the spy too to have the same options as there are in the PathBuildMode enumeration

We are attempting to bring such functionality in one of our next releases. Probably there will be a config file to manipulate the RxPath generation.

The 'PathBuildMode' configuration option was added to our roadmap.
