Test Suite Runner Exe

Post by manalitatke » Thu Nov 30, 2017 3:28 pm

Hello,

I am trying to execute my Test Suite using the Test Suite Runner.


This test suite is running fine under Ranorex Studio.

However, if i choose the .rxtst file and select 'Run the selected Test case', the error 'testsuite.exe file' is not available in the same folder is displayed as shown.


How do i get the .exe file for implementing my test suite separately without the ranorex studio.

Doesnt it get generated automatically?


Please let me know the procedure.

Thanks,
Manali

Hi

The Test Suite Runner only runs the tests, it does not build them! So you first need to build the project, then get the necessary files from bin\release or bin\debug folder and only then you can run your test via test suite runner (using rxtst file).

I would suggest to read Ranorex user guide chapter about running tests outside Ranorex Studio:
https://www.ranorex.com/help/latest/xcopy-deployment

Hope this helps? ;)

Hello,


Thank you for the response.


This does help.
I tried to implement my test suite on a VM, and it runs only when i have all the 'built' files ( rxsln and csproj ) in the same folder as the test suite.


For implementing the test suite on a system which does not have a ranorex studio development license, having these built files in the same folder as the test suite ( via Source control) and then running the test suite, should help right?

Please correct me if my perception is wrong.

Thanks.
