What's the best setup for Test Agent?
Over the weekend, I was working on getting WPT setup with no luck.
- "The test completed but there were no successful results." I think the issue here is that I am using my work laptop as Test Machine. My work machine have a lot of access control going on. What would your suggestion as a best config for Test Machine? I also found that every time when I start "Wptdriver.exe", all my browsers - IE,Chrome,Fixfox got closed. And today, "wptdriver.exe" will start update process - keep try to get firefox updated. Since there is a UAC existing, the update is always fails. Now, my question is, should Test Machine be solely serve as a test machine? If yes, if I can't apply for a new machine, any suggestion on it? |

Yes, the test machine should be dedicated as a test machine. You can run the web server on the same machine but you shouldn't use a desktop machine that users interact with. The browsers being tested will launch on the screen, take focus and become topmost above everything else.
I haven't seen it close all of the browsers before (I open browsers to do localhost testing when I do dev and they stay up fine) but it could be something with the environment. Disabling UAC is one of the requirements. If you can't get a dedicated machine, can you run VMWare or some form of virtualization and run a VM within your current machine? |

I have turned of the UAC by: control panel -> user account -> Change user account control setting -> Change the value to be "never notify". However, the close all browsers still happen when I start wptdriver.exe. Also get update software fails after start up wptdriver.exe . I am starting up wptdiriver.exe manually instead of putting it in startup.
I still run the test agent in my work machine. Thinking of iron out issues before I get a dedicated machine. Here is my setting: ================ Server side: Locations.ini [locations] 1=Stamford_Office default=Stamford_Office [Stamford_Office] 1=Lizi-Test label=Stamford Office Location [Lizi-Test] browser=Chrome,Firefox label="Lizi's Laptop" =====Client side c:\webpagetest\agent\userblast.ini [Configuration] Startup Delay=30 Log File=c:\webpagetest\agent\urlblast Timeout=120 use current account=1 ; Where to get work from Url Files Url=http://{server}/work/ Location=Lizi-Test =====Client side c:\webpagetest\agent\wptdrive.ini [WebPagetest] url=http://{server}/ location=Lizi-Test browser=Chrome ;key=TestKey123 ;Automatically install and update support software (Flash, Silverlight, etc) software=http://www.webpagetest.org/installers/software.dat [Chrome] exe="C:\Users\{me}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" options='--load-extension="%WPTDIR%\extension" --user-data-dir="%PROFILE%" --no-proxy-server' installer=http://www.webpagetest.org/installers/browsers/chrome.dat [Firefox] exe="C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" options='-profile "%PROFILE%" -no-remote' installer=http://www.webpagetest.org/installers/browsers/firefox.dat template=firefox ======= my wpt server: {server}/getTesters.php: Found my machine: |

It's a great Monday
![]() I found where the issue was: The Firefox config was wrong in my config. After I commented it, the test start to work! The close down browser issue still exist but I could live with it for now. [Firefox] exe="C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" options='-profile "%PROFILE%" -no-remote' installer=http://www.webpagetest.org/installers/browsers/firefox.dat template=firefox |
