It's not a problem and actually is a nice side affect, but it is confusing me.
When I run the test suite via the command line I see IE pop up and the test run.
When I run it with the exact same arguments from the Task Schedular though it doesn't display IE. The test seems to run correctly (I'm getting the expected TestResults.xml so it all looks OK.
Why's this happening though?
The command is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit.org\nunit-console\nunit3-console.exe" "Path_to_test_assembly"
P.S. I'm using the .NET version of Selenium with the IE web driver.
Ok, it seems that the problem is with your access to remote machine. Your IE test are running as a background process on that machine, or running on wrong sessionID. It means that there could be more users/accounts, and your test is running on wrong one.
I'm not sure how exactly are you running this, but you could check your session ID's by typing qwinsta in command line on that machine.
If you want it to run properly you should pass this sessionID as a parameter when connecting to remote desktop, for example, if using psexec and your sessionID is 2 than you pass "-i 2" when starting it. It means that it will interact on user with sessionID 2 on that machine.

We have our Health Check automated wherein all of our applications are logged onto, all via Selenium and only on Internet Explorer.
The code runs well when it was executed directly from a batch file. However, when Jenkins calls this batch (.bat) file, it doesn't execute it completely.
BTW the platform is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
This is the .bat file code
#echo off
set path="";
set path="E:\XXXX\jre1.8.0_141\bin";
pushd E:\Jenkins_Softwares\SeleniumCode\HealthCheck_jar
SET JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx4g -Xms512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=128m -XX:MaxHeapSize=512m
java -jar HealthCheck_JenkinsNG.jar
I've added these additional IE options in the JAVA code before launching the IE driver.
InternetExplorerOptions options = new InternetExplorerOptions();
options.introduceFlakinessByIgnoringSecurityDomains();
options.enableNativeEvents();
options.destructivelyEnsureCleanSession();
When Jenkins executes the batch file, the IE browser opens into the Login page. There's something odd when this page is displayed - the entire page alignment is disrupted and all elements get aligned to the left. (I'd like to stress that when the batch file is instead executed directly, there is no such page alignment disruption. The elements retain their original centre position. For some reason, Jenkins sets all of this to the left). The alignment is not exactly a deal breaker for me.
However, when username and password is entered via the Selenium code, it types into the perfect text boxes; but when the submit button is hit, the content in these textboxes turn blank and I'm unable to login. (When this same piece of code is executed via running the batch file directly, I'm able to login and The homepage of my application is displayed)
I doubt if there's something wrong with the selenium java code. Since, it executes properly, when run from the .bat file or even command line or even as a Java Application from an IDE.
For some reason, when this is executed from Jenkins it does not work.
Is there any options or settings that needs to be set when Jenkins works with Selenium on IE 11? Because I've tried tweaking the selenium code so much, they all yield the same result - The elements on the Login page get cleared after the submit button is clicked.
Also, just to mention, all of this is run on one Master node of Jenkins only. There are no slave nodes.
You need to take care of a couple of things as follows:
For the build process Jenkins would need the path of jdk. Simply jre may not suffice.
JDK 8u141 is ancient now and you need to upgrade to latest JDK 8u202
introduceFlakinessByIgnoringSecurityDomains() (in Java) and IntroduceInstabilityByIgnoringProtectedModeSettings() (in DotNet) is not an ideal solution to address the issues croping out of Protected Mode settings.
Here you can find a detailed discussion in Internet Explorer Protective mode setting and Zoom levels

I've written a Powershell script to automate a Web UI test using IE. The script runs fine when I execute it from PowerShell. However, I have run into an obscure problem and that is when I run my Web UI test script from another powershell script, it fails. I tried to debug it and found that it fails on the following line.
$button = $ie.Document.getElementsByTagName("button")
$button.Item().Click() # $button.Item() evaluates to null when the script is executed from another script.
Can anyone help me figure this out? It appears that when I run the script, the script has no issues locating the element, but when it is run from another script the element I am looking for cannot be located.
EDIT
I get the same error when I run the PS script through Task Scheduler. The script only works when I invoke it directly. If I invoke via another script/program, it doesn't work.
I have a unique problem using jmeter SSH command.
I use this step to run spark jobs.
the problem is that one of the commands not working, to clarify it connects and not get response and just wait and wait for hours, and nothing displayed on screen.
I know how to work with the tool, and this behavior is special for this script alone.
All other script worked, I duplicate one that worked for example
sudo /run_stg.sh this command worked
sudo /run_off2-stg.sh this command not worked
if I run the job manually via jenkins it worked
if I entered to command line and use plik ssh it worked,
the problem is just Jmeter, that is waiting and waiting and I can not understand for what?
the job is about 3 minutes, and I wait for response in Jmeter for 4 hours and nothing Jmeter just waiting.
in the console log I set to trace level and nothing, absolutely no idea how to start handle this issue in Jmeter.
an anyone please assists how to make Jmeter to write what happened?
or just to know if he connect or anything
since this behavior all the test can not be performed
Most probably you are as usual misconfiguring the SSH Command sampler.
The idea is not to run the script per se, you need to delegate the script execution to the Unix Shell, for example Bash this way you will be able to combine several commands together, see the output, amend debugging level, etc.
So I would recommend setting your command to something like /bin/bash -c -x /your/script.sh
Another guess, given you use sudo it might be the case that the sudo command simply waits for the password (which JMeter never provides), if this is the case try amending your script permissions using chmod command and allowing your user its execution without root privileges.
And finally, given you're able to run your command using "plik ssh" (whatever it is) you can run it using OS Process Sampler

I want to do remote debugging of Squish application.
I am following document at:
http://kb.froglogic.com/display/KB/Configuring+a+remote+squishserver
for the same.
Step 1 and Step 2 went well, even I able to see the logs in terminal from remote application.
But, the debug point is not hitting in Squish IDE. Even the debug view shows nothing though I have done the exact steps given at Step 3, even restart of Squish IDE didn't help.
Whether or not Squish stops at a breakpoint (I suppose that's what you meant when you wrote "debug point") is independant of where the squishserver process is running. You can verify that the remote server is used simply by launching a test: you should see some output in the console where squishserver is started about incoming network connections.
When running squish remotely you could add the flag: "--reportgen xml3.3,xml3report" This will create a report with all the information about your run. You can then import this report into squshIDE and use "vpdiff" tool to analyze your failure.
There is a command line tool called "vpdiff" which comes in SQUISHDIR/bin.
There is an article about it here:

Hello people.
I'm using Jenkins as CI server and I need to run some performance test using Jmeter. I've setup the plugin and configured my workspace and everything works ok, but I have to do some steps manually and I want a bit more of "automation".
Currently i have some small programs in a remote server. These programs make some specific validations, for instance (just to explain): validates e-mail addresses, phone numbers, etc.
So, before I run the build in jenkins, I have to manually start the program (file.sh) I want:
I have to use putty (or any othe ssh client) to conect to the server and then run, for instance, the command
./email_validation.sh
And the Jmeter test runs in a correct way, and when the test is done I have to manually "shut down" the program I started. But what I want is trying to start the program I need in Jenkins configuration (not manually outside Jenkins, but in "execute shell" or "execute remote shell using ssh" build step).
I have tried to start it, but it get stuck, because when Jenkins build finds the command
./email_validation.sh
the build stops, it waits for the command to finish and then it will continue the other build steps, but obviously, I need this step not to finish until the test is executed.
Is there a way to achieve this? Thanks
Run your command as a background process by adding the & symbol at the end of the command and use the nohup command in case the parent process gets a hangup signal, e.g.
nohup /path/to/email_validation.sh &
If the script produces any output, it will go by default to the file nohup.out in the current directory when the script was launched.
You can kill the process at the end of the build by running:
pkill email_validation.sh
