Ranorex Forum

Hello all,
I have configured Jenkins Job which should run Ranorex test case “c:\Test.exe /tc:MyTest”. But the job cannot bring the Application windows to the front. So that Ranorex can not find any UI element. The test failed. If I run the same test case in Ranorex solution, then everything goes well. Any Idea? Many thanks!

Hello,

Have you already read the blog "Integrating Ranorex Automation in Jenkins CI Process" on our website? Maybe you have overlooked some settings?

Hi Bernhard,
i have checked the blog several times and could not find any points about that. Maybe it is based on Jenkins Job Engine. I also try to put use code to bring the application windows to front, but it does not work in Jenkins. Very strange, maybe I can not run more than one TC in one Job one after another? Thanks
Best Regards.

Hello,

I have seen that you also wrote a comment to the blog and it seems that you have already solved the issue.
Please let me know if I am wrong.

Hello Bernhard,

The post to the blog is only about the common login problem based on security settings in Jenkins. Now I can start test case in Jenkins, but the execution of several test cases sequentially in Jenkins Job was still failed, because in these test cases the application windows not focused and not to front, very strange... Any idea? Many thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification.
Please try to make an EnsureVisible() or a click on the main window at the beginning of your test cases.
This could solve the issue.

Hello Bernhard,

Thanks for your post. I set the “Use Ensure Visible” on “True” then I have to put one command execution "ThreadSleep(5 Sec.)" between /tc:MyTest1 and /tc:MyTest2. It might be a workaround, I do not why but it works. Many thanks!

Best Regards
