Running Telerik testing framework on Teamcity V7.0.3

[Overule]

HI,

I am trying to run the silverlight user interface tests on the build server and got the following exceptions.

Are there any documentation for setting up this testing framework with teamcity v7 ? I read somewhere i need to start the buildagent manually from command prompt. This is not feasible as it needs to be done on every restart!!

Also i tried starting the buildagent manually from command prompt and run the teamcity test build configuration.

It does not work!!

Anyone uses Teamcity with Telerik testing framework before?

[Byron]

Hi Overule,

I'm sorry for the delay in responding to the ticket. We do have documentation on using TeamCity with Test Studio. Have you followed the steps in this documentation? If so, can you please provide a sample project that is displaying this behavior? Thanks for providing us the information we need to resolve the issue.

All the best,

I followed that and it does not work. Are you are aware that that is a referencing a really old teamcuty version? V4. Currently we are using v7.0.3

[Byron]

Hi Overule,

We are still in the process of developing updated guidelines for using TeamCity 7+ with TestStudio. The error you described in your initial ticket may be caused by attempting to execute your test on a locked machine. It may also be an issue with the Silverlight window name. Is this error the issue you are encountering when configuring TeamCity, or is there a separate issue? Or are you just looking for instructions on automating the build agent using TeamCity?

Thanks,

It looks like the problem is related to this http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/knowledge-base/test-execution/no-tests-execute-on-locked-machine.aspx

I am trying to get the build agent to execute our UI tests. If Currently, on a virtual machine so are you saying the test machine should never be locked? That's a security issue for us. I am also guessing the operating system will automatically locked itself out after a while.

Hello Overule,

As the article on locked execution servers explains, the only tests that can execute on a locked server are ones that do not use mouse or keyboard actions against an HTML page. You may wish to explore the work-arounds listed in that article. These should address both your security and hibernation concerns.
