Locked PC at automation test 's running

[Totti]

I have a question:
My PC locked when I was running my automation test, so my tests cannot run and result test 's fail. so in this case, cannot we locked machine at running automation test ?

Thanks for your idea.

Hello Totti,

Whether or not your test can run on a locked machine depends on the specific test. Tests that use pure HTML DOM actions (set text, element click, drop down select, etc.) will work just fine. Unfortunately any test that requires moving the mouse (mouse desktop clicks) or simulated keyboard input cannot run on a locked machine. All Silverlight tests fall into this category and some HTML tests do as well.

This is a Windows issue. When the machine is locked Windows removes the "Interactive Desktop" permission from your logged on session. This blocks all mouse and keyboard actions.

I created a simple test and have attached a http response listener.
It clearly does not require any desktop interaction.
Still I am not able to run the test on locked system
Can someone please help?

Hi Varun,

We really need more details about the symptom/problem you are running into before we can help diagnose the problem. It would also be very helpful if you can send us a test (and all required supporting files/code) that exhibits the problem that we can run on our machine to reproduce and study the problem first hand.
