IE11 + Jenkins: This usually means that a call to the COM method IWebBrowser2::Navigate2() failed.

[timmi...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

Please, does anyone faced with such issue or knows how to fix it. Trying to run tests in IE11 through the Jenkins, but all test fails with one same error:
"Failed to navigate to blablabla. This usually means that a call to the COM method IWebBrowser2::Navigate2() failed. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)."
I have one guess, that before browser running there is some pop-up appears, e.g. about network permissions or something similar, but how to hadle such behaviour or pretend at all?
Win 10, Selenide 4.3.3, IE11.

Hi guys, had to deal with this issue too.
If you have jenkins as a service, tests are running under "SYSTEM" which have different security settings than your Administrator account.

I workaround it by creating 1 slave jenkins machine, connect it to a main jenkins as node, via java web start, and tests starts to run.
only thing is that you shouldn't install jenkins slave as a service otherwise it ends in the same problem
