Ranorex Forum

Hi, Ranorexers,

First, I hope you all are healthy and well. The world seems to be under a stay at home order. We are here in the U.S., and in Mississippi where I am. My office has completely switched to working remotely.

My question...are there known issues with renaming a recording module? I consistently have issues. Here's the scenario:

1. Manually added a recording module in my framework library (AutoLib), called "EditStoreFields". I added actions to it, then added the module to my test case, "CopyStore".
2. Thought it would be better named "Edit_GeneralInfo_StoreMgmtTC" so I updated the name from within the tree.
3. Deleted EditStoreFields from the test case.
4. Compiled and received the Init error.
5. Even removed the AutoLib project reference from my Test Suite project, then re-added, rebuilt (multiple times)
6. Added the new (2) module to the test case and the 1st name is used.

This happens a lot. Really frustrating.

In case it matters, we are using DevOps GIT source control and the magic merger feature with TortoiseGIT installed locally.

Anyone see this also? Workarounds?

Usually, I have to delete BOTH 1 and 2, get a clean compile and add another rec module with a 3rd name.

Using 9.3.1..

UPDATE TO POST:

I opened the .cs for the updated name (2), and the class name is still the first (1) name in the code. HOWEVER, the .UserCode.cs has the updated name. Thanks and be well out there!

Hi,

I'm not using integrated source control, so I can't tell for sure if it could be a cause of your issue or not. However, with "compiling" you mean you performed complete rebuild (via Build >> Rebuild solution menu) or you simply pressed "Play" button? After each such change, save the solution and perform complete rebuild. If the module class name still shows previous name, the file was most probably not recompiled. Complete solution rebuild should help.

Hi, Pavel,

Thanks for your reply. I manually rebuilt (and cleaned) the entire solution and the autolib separately even, several times.

Eventually, I removed both and added a new module with an entirely different name.

When I get a chance, I'll try to come up with a reproducible test case.
