Ranorex Forum

Hi,
I have gone through the post on mailing where you have suggested using the example of CustomLogging. I am unable to follow this example. could you please suggest how to anaylze the same. I just see there is a MailLogger.cs file included. How do I include this if required in my Test case and what are the next steps.

Hi,

I would suggest you to follow this discussion.
http://www.ranorex.com/forum/send-mail- ... t2356.html
The SendMail.cs discussed there is still valid and works OK with Ranorex 5.x.

Hi,
Thanks for earlier response. I am able to send the mail but the report log ( .rxzlog) is not being attached. The sendMail() is the last part of code. Please find below on how to add attachments. Also looked at other disucssions on this topic, but could not complete attachment. Also attached snapshot.

Have,

Are you sure you have enabled Compressed copy check and the Sendmail method is the last line in Program.cs (just before "return")?
[attachment=0]CompressedCopy.png[/attachment ]
Also, have you tried to debug the code? I would suggest to add breakpoint at this line:

if (System.IO.File.Exists(zipFileName))

Then run the project and check if zipFileName exsits and if code goes inside this condition.

If none of the above helps, try to add these lines just before sendmail line (in Program.cs)

Ranorex.Core.Reporting.TestReport.EndTestCase();
Ranorex.Core.Reporting.TestReport.SaveReport()

;
These lines should complete testcase and force saving report to file. Hope this helps?

Hi,
I have enabled "Compressed copy" option and also attempted to enter if (System.IO.File.Exists(zipFileName)) . Looks it it not entering the if-block. Not clear on how to insert Sendmail method as the last line in Program.cs (just before "return")?. Please suggest as this is to be resolved asap.

If it does not enter the "if" block, then the report file most probably does not exists?

From where do you call SendMail module in your project? It must be called from the very end of Program.cs, like this...

SendMail.SendMail();
            return error;
       }
    }
}

If it still does not work, could you please share your project?

Hi,
I called the SendMail() (in Program.cs) method as suggested, but was getting below compile error while executing.
"The name SendMail() does not exist in the current context". Attached Project.

I believe you must call it like this: First SendMail points to SendMail.cs, second SendMail points to SendMail() method

Yes . I called it by the Classname.methodname ( SendMail.Sendmail(); )

You mean you called it that way before my previous post? If it still does not work, I would suggest to share your project. There must be something else wrong?

Yes. I had it tried before your suggestion. This is the first time i am in this forum, can you please suggest how to share a project here. Earlier tried attaching the complete project folder C:\Users\satish\Documents\Ranorex\RanorexStudio Projects\Mail_2 which was about 28MB, zipped to 9 MB. not sure if you received it.

Just delete bin, obj and Reports folders from the solution before packing it. This should reduce the size of zip Then use interface found under "Upload attachment" tab...

Thank you. Followed as suggested

Here you go. Now it should work
There was incorrect namespace in SendMail.cs and missing line before SendMail.SendMail();
Also, SendMail.cs should not be inside the TestSuite structure. Hope this helps?

Hi, Great. Works perfect. I could analyze the difference through diff checker. Class name, public access are some things to be take care by me further. A great thanks to you.
