use string generator module

Post by archibald » Tue Sep 20, 2016 5:46 pm

I read the tutorial on this website about "How to Generate and Use Random Values" (forum not allow to give url, I don't know why)

It seems a very useful feature and not only for creating random string.

I did the tutorial but Unfortunately, when I try to use the generated module, the expected "$Input" does not appears in my dropdow list

However I believe I have respected all instructions:

Maybe I did not bind the module in Test case, and I am sure i should learn how to use Ranorex module in a more global use but nothing it said about that in this tutorial that just talk about random string generator.

What i really odd is that in the example to download I canot see either the expected value in the dropdown if I try to add a key sequence in the first record

Could you help me please?

Hi,

The reason why you don't see the variable from Code module in Recording module is that these modules are not connected. You need to follow the steps from this blog post to share data between modules:

Hope this helps?
