Using html Table Snapshot for table element validation

Post by bthompson » Fri Mar 25, 2022 9:14 pm

Good Afternoon,

I'm new to the platform and I'm looking for some help with regards to using a snapshot for html table validations.
With two questions, I ask in the following code excerpt taken from the examples page, is it just as simple as listing the file name as a parameter, where string is set to 'filename_ReferenceTableSnapshot'?

Code: Select all

public void Validate_WebTableContentEqual(Ranorex.Adapter repoItem, string filename_ReferenceTableSnapshot, string customLogMessageOverall, string customLogMessageDetail) 
{ 
 // check if snapshot file exists 
 Ranorex.Validate.IsTrue (System.IO.File.Exists (filename_ReferenceTableSnapshot), string.Format("Checking existence of snapshot file: {0}",filename_ReferenceTableSnapshot )); 
 
 ElementSnapshot snap; 
 try 
 { 
 snap = Ranorex.Core.ElementSnapshot.CreateFromFile (filename_ReferenceTableSnapshot); // ElementSnapshot.CreateFromFile is available starting with Ranorex 5.4.2 
 } 
 catch 
 { 
 throw new Ranorex.ValidationException ("Snapshot could not be loaded from file"); 
 } 
Secondly, since this projected is rooted in a work directory and the Snapshots folder exists in the root folder of Ranorex, is it possible to move this folder into my work repo without breaking the pathing?
