    Hello,

    I am trying to get the unit tests that are created using Telerik Testing Framework to run automatically on our build machine.  When the tests run I get the following error message.

    - <message>
    <![CDATA[ 
    System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
      ]]>
      </message>
    - <stack-trace>
    <![CDATA[ 
    at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Manager.SetupDialogMonitoring()
at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType browserToLaunch, Boolean waitForBrowserToConnect, ProcessWindowStyle windowStyle, String arguments)
at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.Manager.LaunchNewBrowser(BrowserType browserToLaunch, Boolean waitForBrowserToConnect)
at CFCAWeb.SC.Testing.SponsorsOnlineWeb_AccountHome.MySponsorships_TestBreadCrumb() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CFCABeta\CFCAWeb.SC.Testing\Views\SponsorsOnlineWeb_AccountHome.cs:line 98
      ]]>
      </stack-trace>

    I used NUnit framework, and used windows scheduler to schedule the run.  I have setup the 'Run as' userId as mine. Tests start and run fine If I stay logged on to the machine.  However, when I am not logged on to the machine, all  the tests fail giving the error message mentioned above.  I am using ArtOfTest.WebAii.dll version 2011.2.1305.0.

    Any idea how I can get around this issue?  
    Thanks

    Hello,

    This is expected. Test Studio (and most UI automation tools) are unable to run on a locked machine. Please read this KB article for additional information.
