Run testlist on a remote scheduling server

[F]

Hello,

We're trying to run a testlist on a remote server. We followed the following steps to realise this:

https://docs.telerik.com/teststudio/features/scheduling-test-runs/create-scheduling-server

We created a testlist with 3 different testcases. When we run it on our local machine it works perfectly (and fast), but when we try to run it on our remote Scheduling Server we get this error:

System.IO.PathTooLongException: we checked the path and filename of the (remote) testlist and it's not longer than 100 characters

How can we solve this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for the shared details. 

There are few important notes when executing a test list on a remote machine which concerns the file path length. You probably know the project is being partially deployed on the remote machine so that all necessary for the test list execution files are available on the execution machine. The default path for deployment is C:\Users\"UserName"\AppData\Local\Temp. By each project deployment there is a temp folder created in the above mentioned location which name is the GUID of the project - the GUID contains random consequence of 32 symbols, numbers and letters, which uniquely identify the current project. 

Having this said, in the default case the remote project is being executed from a folder similar to: C:\Users\etsvetko\AppData\Local\Temp\TSProjects\"ProjectGUID"\"ProjectName". These are quite many symbols already and if the Test List also has longer name you could face the encountered issue. 

You have to possibilities up in front - you could shorten the Test List name or you could change the remote path to any shorter liek C:\Temp for example (please see point 5. in this article). 

Please let me know if this is helpful for you or you will need further assistance.

Hi Elena,

Thank you for your reply. I don't think that the path length is the problem. We created a new testcase and with a new testlist with shorter filenames. We run the test cases manually and remotely on our local machine. The manual execution works fine, but we still get errors with the remote test execution. The error System.IO.PathTooLongException isn't popping up anymore, but we still have the following errors:

We have installed FireFox and the browser works fine with manual tests. We re-calibrated and restored FireFox in the program.

Thank you for your response.

Hi,

Thank you for the feedback. I am glad to hear one of the issues no longer persist. 

Though to find out what prevents the communication between the local machine and the remote one I would like to place few more questions about the setup. What I guess is that you have configured a remote machine as a Scheduling server as described in the article you referred. This machine should be also configured as an Execution server. Please correct me if I am wrong in these assumptions. 

I suspect that there is no firewall or AV software active on any of the machines as you are able to execute remotely on the local machine. Therefore would like to kindly ask you to reconfigure the Scheduler and Execution client to use IP address instead of computer name. Once this is done please refresh the whole setup as described below: 
1. Exit Test Studio and the Test Runner (Execution client) on both machines. 
2. Restart the Telerik Services. 
3. Drop the database - I guess there are still no results which will be necessary to be kept so you could drop the whole database. 

Then start Test Studio on the local machine and the Execution client on the remote one, clear both logs (you could access these from the Status view) and try to run a test list remotely. Please if this is still not successful, collect the log files both for the remote and local machines and send these zipped again. 

Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
