Run TestComplete tests into tfs builds Error

   Hello there,

 

When I run TestComplete tests into Build Tfs 2017  I have this error:

 


 

I did this tutorial :

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/working-with/integration/ms-vs/alm/team-builds/definitions/vnext.html

 

Anyone have suggestion ?

 

Thanks =)

 

Best Regards

    It's exactly as it says... to run the automation, the machine you are launching it on must have a logged in user session with an active desktop.  In the article you linked, there's this line:

    Configure the agent to run UI tests. Otherwise, the agent will launch TestComplete (or TestExecute) in non-interactive mode, and it will not be able to access UI elements to simulate user actions.

     

    Please verify that this is done and that the machine you are running it on, when the test kicks off, is on a logged in active desktop.

        If your test clicks on UI components at all... then yes.
