Ranorex stops executing steps after a time zone change
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2016 1:16 pm
Hello,
I am currently writing tests that involve changing the PC time zone in order to ensure that a files time stamp is being updated correctly. However, after the steps that change the time zone Ranorex will perform a few more steps but then will stop. It will successfully complete a step but then stay on it and not continue. It is not waiting for a timeout as I have left it for around 10 minutes to see if it will continue. Ranorex is also not frozen as I can stop the test execution with no issue. The test will also complete if I disable the steps that change the time zone.
Has this been encountered before or is it a known issue that changing the time zone of the PC will stop Ranorex from continuing to execute steps. Are there any tips or tricks for getting around this?
I am using Ranorex 5.2.2 on Windows 10.
Thanks,
Richard
