Ranorex Forum

Few questions. I am running tests on my application which is web bases. I record a test, then run it. I am closing the initial browser, but that seems to cause problems and the playback is failing. If I leave the browser open, the playback seems to start in the wrong place. I am logging in, but the play back with the browser open skips the login portion.

Also, is there a limit as to how many click I can put in a recording?

I receive this error on the last step. The last step was to click an OK button.

Failed to move to location '12;9' within element '{ButtonTag:ext-gen1304}'.
The pointer cannot be moved to point '{X=-9793,Y=-9863}' since it is outside of the visible desktop.

This time also I left the original browser open where I recorded from.

Does your test have a beginning step of starting a browser if one is not found?
Is the running browser in an expected state for when your test is played back the second time and fails?

Can you post your code so we can have a look?
Also a RanorexSpy Snapshot of your AUT would be helpful.
Is your browser window set to a 100% resolution?

I do not have the browser open in the initial 1st step. When I playback my steps it opens the browser no problem and starts going through the steps. Sometimes it makes it all the way through, mainly on the 1st run. After that, it seems to never finish. Sometimes I keep the 1st browser open, sometimes I close it, but it just doesn't seem to playback consistently after it initially runs successfully.

And yes. the browser is at 100%.

Without seeing your code it sounds like timing issues to me since you say it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe our servers were causing some of the issues.
