Re: Running GUI tests on Amazon Cloud
Hi David, That is a really interesting solution to my problem. The one downside to your solution is that I have to maintain one additional machine on Amazon to make this system work. The good news is that I have found an application/service that will allow me to both log into the machines, yet not disable the GUI object detection when I disconnect from the machines, which in turn will allow me to run my tests without the RDP and without having to maintain any open connection. The best part is that this service is free (although they have pay services). Thanks for all your help.2.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Running GUI tests on Amazon Cloud
Alexei, Thanks for the replay, but unfortunately there are no postings regarding this specific problem. I did find in another post that I can alter my registry to allow GUI tests to continue while minimizing RDP, but will not help in cases where my machine is powered down or logged out.2.4KViews0likes0CommentsRunning GUI tests on Amazon Cloud
Hi, I'm trying to run GUI tests on Amazon Cloud. The only way I know how to connect to Amazon machines is via RDP. However, when I close or minimize the RDP session, the objects are not recognized. I understand this is the inherent problem with RDP. Is there other method of connection that will allow me to run GUI tests even after I disconnect from the machine? Here is the real problem. I have many instances running at once in the Amazon Cloud. I don't wish to have tens of RDP connections running at the same time on my local machine just to make these tests run. These tests often run overnight and if my machine powers down, then I've lost a day of testing. My machine powering down is not the only problem with running multiple RDP on my machine. There must be a solution to this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.13KViews0likes1CommentRunning GUI tests on Amazon Cloud
