Hi Matteo,

 

First of all I would like to congratulate you for this article, that describes step-by-step an automation process using Azure DevOps. We have being following it to configure our testing environment and we are facing an issue when running the tests on an azure agent.

 

So when running the tests on a self hosted agent, installed on my machine, all the automation test worked as described on the article. But when running the tests on azure agent VM Windows2019 the test "AddNameToTextBox" fails. It is happening because, some how the test cannot execute the button click on "sayHelloButton". It finds the element but it seams not be clicking on it and the final assert for the test fails.

 

Do you have any idea why this is happening? We already try many different configurations on the agent, change screen resolutions, etc. without success.

 

Thanks for your time,

Helder Costa
