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

Christofer Dutz created INFRA-11706:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Unable to run GUI tests on windows build agents
                 Key: INFRA-11706
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11706
             Project: Infrastructure
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Jenkins
            Reporter: Christofer Dutz


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.
