WACK check in build
I have UWP application that I'm working on and also setting up CI for it. I want to include Windows App Certification Kit (WACK) as a build step to verify all the builds application against MS rules.
CI is build on the top of Visual Studio Online. There is an custom Build Agent with the latest software installed attached to my VSO build configuration. The problem is that WACK requires admin privileges to run, however VSO requires that user that runs BuildAgent should not have admin privileges.
Is there any way to increase privileges of the user during build run? Is there any workaround to run WACK without admin privileges? Even if some of the WACK tests are disabled it still make sense to integrate WACK check into CI.
Appreciate any help.
Admin privilege limitation is only for VSO Hosted Build Agent, there isn't any way to promote administrator privilege on it. But as soon as you deploy a custom Build Agent, you will have enough permission to run WACK test.
Note:
Use an account with administrator permission to log on if you are run your build agent as Service.
If you need to change the logon account, don't do it from the services snap-in. Instead, From an elevated Command Prompt, run: C:\Agent\Agent\VsoAgent.exe /ChangeWindowsServiceAccount
