White popup on the first TestExecute run
Hi,
I have got a virtual machine that, before executing the automatic tests through an Azure DevOps release pipeline, is reverted to a checkpoint. The checkpoint contains an installed Test Execute of the latest major version 15.
After the switch to the ID-based license sometimes the automatic tests execution is not started by the release pipeline and it is highlighted a TestExecute connection error on getting the test list within the project.
The shown error within the release pipeline is:
##[error]Failed to get a list of tests from the "<projectPath>\<projectName.pjs" file due to the following error: Unable to connect to TestExecute: Server execution failed (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080005 (CO_E_SERVER_EXEC_FAILURE))
After some analysis I've understand that the issue comes because, within the checkpoint, the first time when TestExecute is run, a white popup (completely empty) appears for some seconds (5-10 seconds), and after that it disappears and TestExecute is correctly up&running. After this first strange situation, when I close and then start TestExecute, the white popup is not shown anymore so TestExecute can be correctly opened without strange situations.
I'm able to resolve the release pipeline issue by regenerating the checkpoint after executing the above steps (so, after opening at least one time TestExecute), but it is frustrating to redo it frequently moreover because I don't know the root cause of this issue that I would like to resolve permanently.
Did anyone fall in this "white" screen issue on the first TestExecute run?
Do you have an idea of the root cause of this issue?
Thanks!
