Reports stuck in bin/debug

[jackrabbit]

In my project, I setup the Reports as such:
- I disabled the copy/move to the Reports folder
- In the Global settings, I enabled the report in the destination sub-folder "Reports" (= bin/debug/Reports)
- In the pre-build event, I added "rmdir /S /Q Reports" so that the bin/debug/Reports only contains the last report, not the prior hundreds of test during the developpment phase.

On Ranorex 5.2.3, if I run my test from the Test Solution page, it works, the Reports folder is wiped and my new report goes to bin/debug/Reports

If my run my test from a Recording (which I do a lot during the development phase), the report is being added to the bin/debug folder instead of the bin/debug/Reports folder.

After a few hours of debugging, my bin/debug folder always contains Gigabytes of unused reports, so I have to clean it up constantly.

The report should go in the specified folder, no matter how you got the test to run.

Hello jackrabbit,

First of all, I would highly recommend updating to our latest version, currently Ranorex 5.3.2.

As for your issue, the global settings are only applied if you are executing the whole test suite, but in order to avoid unused reports during the development phase I would recommend disabling the report generation. It is possible to disable the reporting for each recording individually.

Therefore, please do the following:

• • Open the recording
  • Open the “Settings”-dialog

  • Switch to the “Current Recording”-tab
  • Untick “Generate replay reports"

Hope this helps.
