SWTBot on OS X and Jenkins

We have some TCs running on OS X ... and they work fine! We've integrated this (OS X) build on Jenkins. That's our problem!

Jenkins log:

myTest (com.path.myTest): The widget was null

I tried to set "Run Xvnc during build" but when the Jenkins build starts it start to run "vncserver" that is not installed on OS X (which has its own VNC server)!

Anyone of you have idea ho to integrate Jenkins with Mac OS X in case a windows session is needed? Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • here the reason:

    SWTBot (when running on a CI env) requires:

    • Ensure that your session has screensaver disabled.
    • Ensure that your session does not 'lock up' after a specified period.
