I'm trying to run WebUI Test Studio automatically using Team Foundation Server. My tests works fine if I run them manually through VS (or directly using MSTest.exe), but when I try to run them through the FTS server I get this thing:

    
            Overall Result: Fail  
        
            --------------------------------------------------  
        
            System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: The constructor to deserialize an object of type 'ArtOfTest.WebAii.Exceptions.UnsupportedNonInteractiveOperationException' was not found.  
        
               at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ITestExecuteProxy.ExecuteTest(Test test, Settings settings, String deploymentFolder, ExecutionType exeType)  
        
               at ArtOfTest.WebAii.Design.Execution.ExecutionEngine.ExecuteTest(Test testcase, Settings settings, String testBinaryFolder, String deploymentFolder, ExecutionType exeType)  
        
            --------------------------------------------------  
        
            '2010-03-10 16:58:42' - Overall Result: Fail

Any ideas?

Hello Martin W,

This is happening because, unfortunately, TFS defaults to running tests via a service which does not have interactive desktop permissions. Most WebAii tests require an interactive desktop. We have some pretty good documentation for how to get tests running in TFS here:

http://www.artoftest.com/support/webaii/topicsindex.aspx?topic=tfsbuild

The MDSN documentation for how to get tests running in interactive mode is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb399142.aspx

All the best,
Cody
