Ranorex Forum

Hello,

We're using Ranorex on our client application to test. The client application have a frame, which contains other controls like buttons,edit,combobox.

We can access the frame controls like buttons,edit,combobox by thier 'name' property through Ranorex.
But we cannot access the frame object by its 'name' property set in the client application. Ranorex does not identify the 'Name' property even thou it is set.Also the Base type is not identified. It just identifies the frame title.

Also when we access the frame object thru java wrapper, then the 'name' property is accessible.

Please find the attached screenshot for the test application.
The screeshot contains the Ranorex spy output of a test application. The frame's 'name' property is set to 'MyFrameName". But is it not visible.

So, the questions is there a way to access 'Name' property set in the application through Ranorex?

We want to use it in the repository for our current requirement.
Please reply at the earliest so that we can take further decision on this.

For the record, we have configured Ranorex with the active JRE.

My configuration is as follows:

Ranorex: 4.1.6.17768
.Net RunTime Version: 4.0.30319.18444

Java: 1.7.0_71-b14

O/S: Windows 7

Thank you in advance.

Pramila

Could you post a Ranorex Snapshot of your application so that we can see the properties that Ranorex picks up? You can find information on creating a Ranorex Snapshot here.

Also, could you post a sample application that has this same issue?

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I have attached the snapshot of the test app we are trying to use ranorex for automation.
I ave already attached a sample test program which has similar issue.

Hi Pramila,

Thank you for providing the application.
Unfortunately, it is not possible at the moment to get the name from a Java form. I have already added an entry in our bug tracking system and our development team will analyze it in more detail.
I would suggest using the title instead of the name in order to recognize the form.

Hi Bernhard,
Thanks for the suggestions.
Currently we are using the form's title in our client application.To support internationalization, we need to access the object name.

Is there any other ways you recommend to get the object by its name? Any kind of Custom Adapter?

Do you have any idea when a fix might be made available?

thanks and regards,
pramila

Hello pramila,

Unfortunately, there is not workaround at the moment and I cannot promise that this can be fixed in our next release. However, our development team is working on a fix at the moment.
As workaround could be to set another property within your application with the value of the form name.

Bernhard
