Ranorex Forum

Hi
Anybody has any idea if this is possible:
using a script start a hyper-v virtual machine (I know I can do that)
apply a snapshot on this machine ( I know I can do that)
run ranorex test (?)

so far i've been trying to use powershell for starting the machine and applying snapshots but I run into problems when I try to start a ranorex test from command line, I'm guessing I need a display for ranorex to work on. Any ideas?

There does need to be a desktop (unlocked) available for Ranorex to run... This is a GUI functional test after all.

You can use PSEXEC to remotely launch an application, assuming you have proper credentials.

I know it needs a desktop, that's why I have a problem.
For now I managed to set up windows to automaticaly log in as a default user and have a ranorex test run as a scheduled task after logging in.
I'll play around with pexec maybe I can start the machine and then use psexec to execute my test on it.
