Ranorex Forum

I am testing a web application via ranorex , since several days when running my tests at certain recording step my test execution stops and ranorex generate following warning message .

Recording step on which I encountered this warning messages contains of
1.Click on Combo box
2.Select value from Combo box


Warning Message:
Your CEF AUT couldn’t be instrumented correctly. Object recognition is limited.
Process: 'Teams' (pid 13648)
(This message is only shown once per report.)


Can any one guide me how to avoid this warning steps which makes my test execution aborts.

Hi,

What's the xpath behind the combo box item? Does it refer to DOM or Form element?

it refers to the form element

Exactly what I thought. I'm recently facing similar issue and discussing it with Ranorex folks. There is no know workaround for now. But it's great to see I'm not alone in this.

Can you please confirm following things if it happens to you

1. Not occurs everytime but roughly let say 8 times out of 10 is that same for you ?

2. When I run exact same TC via my jenkins agent on RD , so far i did not encounter any warning like this

3. I am on the latest version Ranorex 10.1.3 are you on the same ?

Hi,

For me it happens every single time and both on Desktop and all VMs. And yes, I'm on 10.1.3 too. The funny thing is, that Ranorex folks are not able to reproduce it yet (the slowdown or not found elements), but they see the instrumentation error in report. So it's definitely something to investigate.

Thanks for the reply , so we should raise a ticket / issue or contact ranorex support team in order to have proper communication channel and update regarding it or just wait ?

I'm facing the same issue, both locally and remotely.

So, IE is no longer to be used and Edge is definitely a problem with Ranorex.

It's high time Ranorex (aka IDERA) takes this issue seriously, because if our conclusion is that we can't test in Edge without problems, we might just abandon Ranorex !

Proper Edge compatibility has been an issue for too long.

I still get this warning using Edge (Chromium) with 10.6.1... I'm assuming this has not been resolved?

Hi jvarela,

This is an old topic.
My expirience with CEF recognition is that is working with MsEdge.
Just make sure youre sut has been implemented with --remote-debugging-port=....
