Unable to capture webelements in chrome using Ranorex Spy

Post by Rishi1992 » Fri Jun 17, 2022 9:10 am

Hi,

I'm new to Ranorex studio. I'm using Ranorex Studio 10.1.7. When I'm trying to capture an webelemet from my AUT in Chrome browser using Ranorex Spy, I'm not able to locate any element in the page. I'm unable to focus any element on the page & when I perform mouse hover on an element it is taking (or focusing) the whole page.

Note: Already uninstalled & installed Ranorex plugin from chrome using instrumentation wizard. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

This problem sounds like incorrect instrumentation of Chrome? Eventually, the Chrome browser was instrumented with enabled "Continue running background apps" option? Please check this post and uncheck this option both in Chrome and Edge.

Also, make sure there are not started both Chrome and Edge at the same time! Then try to uninstall Chrome plugin and instrument it back using Ranorex Instrumentation wizard.
