Citrix session - Ranorex

[alexlosk]

Hi all,

I am having an issue when I schedule my test cases to be executed during the night.
I have a CI server which launches the suite but when it tries to connect to the virtual machine, the machine is locked, therefore, it cannot start with the test activity.

I am using Citrix to connect to this Virtual machine.

First of all I checked the 'Ranorex report' and this was displayed:

So, I realized that the session was locked, then I followed this guide to disable the 'locked session':

Now the problem is different, as you can see below, the screen is 'black' and ranorex can't track any item:

Any idea about how to fix this?

Hi,

I guess you will have the use some kind of VNC tool, which keeps the connection open and desktop unlocked? But even better would be to use some kind of CI tool (like Jenkins or Bamboo). You mentioned you are using CI server...so why do you need to use citrix to connect to that VM? Why don't you make that machine a "slave", so CI server will keep the session/connection open?
