Ranorex Forum

Hi,

Just have a general questions.
How or what is the best way to update ranorex repository items?
I mean there are occasions when the item has changed,renamed, moved etc...so how do you guys update?
I reimport the item and rename it to the oldname and delete the old one, maybe not the best way??
So wonder how you guys do it, just curious

There are many ways to do it. I would say it's mainly what you feel comfortable with.

Depending on how much change there is, I might do a couple things:

1. Track the new element and rename the existing and new elements as needed (what you are doing, usually best for larger changes).
2. Re-work the existing element's RanoreXPath (especially if there are only a few objects needing changes, or the path did not change significantly).
