Team City issue with uninstalled IE instance during batting test

Question

We use Team City, and I noticed a problem during the Watin test. Sometimes a certain instance of IE does not randomly stop at the task manager on the build server, even if the test closes all open instances. This causes all subsequent tests to fail. We tried using a script that kills all instances, i.e. Prior to running this test, but this cannot prevent accidental uninstalled instances, i.e. All tests failed.

Answer 1

I do not know if this will help ... I had a similar error. My problem was this: "running tests on Vista using Internet Explorer with protectedMode = On for localhost"

The solution is described here: http://codebetter.com/blogs/james.kovacs/archive/2008/06/18/running-watin-tests-on-vista.aspx

I think you might have the same problem.

This error message is:

WatiN.Core.Exceptions.TimeoutException: Timeout while Internet Explorer was running Fail: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: The exception was caused by the target call. ----> System.NullReferenceException: the reference to the object is not installed in the object instance

Answer 4

I had a similar error, and I decided to delete it by deleting the autosave password, it appeared on the login page and somehow when it started inside Teamcity, it broke it.
