Running watir in ruby build from jenkins does not show browser on which automation is running. (Win 7 and Win 8 issue)

[Amit Dewan]

Hi All,

I am facing a strange issue while running ruby-watir framework from jenkins.

Problem:

I am working on watir-webdriver in ruby. I have developed my own framework to run scripts in ruby.

I am running the framework by executing batch file.

 

Automation is going very well from command line (DOS) and from within eclipse.

But when I create new job in Jenkins to run the framework, the automation is running fine and results are also shown as expected but browser on which automation is running is not shown up. ie- execution is shown as headless where as i am not using headless.

I have tried on jenkins version (1.499 and 1.520) and for both windows 7 and windows 8.

Is there any solution to get rid of this issue or is this the known issue?

Thanks in advance for help.

Regards,

Amit Dewan

Are you running the Jenkins slave as a service?  If so, then you'll either need to switch to run the Jenkins slave on the desktop, or you'll need to configure the service to allow it to access a desktop.
