Based on the Limitation ID, does seem to be a problem with the port. Could you please specify which CEF type from this list is used - https://www.ranorex.com/help/latest/int ... lications/?

And which port setup method is used (from the same article), if any?

i see, generally these 2 steps are recommended to try out, if you haven't yet:

"Debug CEF remotely from Chrome
If you are not able to access the CEF application as follows, there is definitely an issue with the remote debugging port.
1. Open Chrome
2. Navigate to http://localhost:8081/
3. Verify if you are able to inspect the content of the CEF application


Check if port 8081 is in use
1. Open the command line
2. Enter the following command:
netstat -aon | findstr 8081
3. If the CEF application is not running, no active connection should be listed.
If the CefSharp application is running, you should see exactly one connection (127.0.0.1:8081)."

Hi, I tried pinging the port as suggested. I found that the CEF application is not running as there is no active connection. Can we have a session to check the error?
