[jira] [Updated] (INFRA-11706) Unable to run GUI tests on windows build agents

["Chris Lambertus (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11706?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Chris Lambertus updated INFRA-11706:
------------------------------------
    Status: Waiting for user  (was: Waiting for Infra)

I've switched the windows-2012-1 slave over to the autologin/batch mode startup and the flash tests seem to work now. I also corrected a bunch of other problems at the same time. Unfortunately, the build is still failing with a PermGen error, but I am not sure if that's coming from the slave.jar or from something within your build. Hopefully we'll be able to sort that out pretty easily.

> It seems that when running the Jenkins agent as a windows service, builds are not able to start and communicate with the created GUI application. In our case our tests start the FlashPlayer for unit tests. Even if it's possible to execute the command manually on the machine, doing this in an automated was, does not seem to work. I keep on getting timeouts. 
> We had this problem on our project-private Jenkins and it seems the only option the guys came up with was to auto-login to the Jenkins account and start the agent using Java Webstart.
> If we want to come back to the ASF infra machines, we need to run the GUI tests.
