Issue with WebUI.maximizeWindow() when running through TeamCity

[glaposta]

Hello,

When I use the maximizeWindow() command when running my test suite through TeamCity, my script seems to time out like it was not able to run this. Here is the error I get after the timeout:

Has anybody come across this before?

This seems to happen when running with both Chrome and Firefox.
Not sure if its an issue with the method or something I am missing in TeamCity

Thank you,
Gino

Personally, I would never test a clientside application (i.e. a browser) on a server operating system. You might want to ensure that the server is setup to favor “client/foreground applications”.

What happens when you run the tests on a regular client OS?

[glaposta]

Hi Russ,

Everything runs perfectly from a regular client OS. No issues

[Russ_Thomas]

“I rest my case”, as they say.

I don’t know if this is causing grief because you’re using Team City… but really, a server is a terrible test environment for client apps. The first thing you’re likely to notice is impossible-to-debug timing issues…

Ring any bells?

Thing is, even if you tune the server to favor foreground apps, there are still a ton of services running you don’t usually see on a client PC. Seriously, you have your work cut out if you stick to running Test Cases/Suites on a server.

Good luck.

Thank you! I will take this into consideration. Appreciate your help.
