Using SessionCreator AND Visual Studio Test in ADO Pipeline

I really liked the integration and logging that the VS Test task had for running TestExecute tests in a ADO pipeline but I needed an active user session so I am using SessionCreator to trigger the session and test run via a batch file. 

I'm not seeing a way to use SessionCreator to start a session but the TestComplete test adapter and VS Test tasks to actually run the tests in that open session. 

Seems like it's one or the other?  I couldn't get a working solution using an interactive/auto-logon agent as I needed a user session and couldn't just keep one always open on my machine. 

 

Anyone using SessionCreator with VS test?

    With SessionCreator, the machine should either have auto login enabled "Make sure that the user account has a non-empty password. Otherwise, SessionCreator will not be able to open a session.". Or use tscon to disconnect from the remote machine, active session will remain (see Running Tests via Remote Desktop)

     

    You should be able to use a batch file or PowerShell script to launch TC/TE/SC via VS Test.
