Launch browser from gitlab shell ci

I’m trying to configure CI for my project. We use robotframework to create automated tests. It’s python+selenium based solution. I have configured my .gitlab-ci.yml this way:

stages:

  • test

test:
stage: test
script:

  • set PATH=%PATH%;C:/Python27/Scripts
  • cd C:/Users/lestivalet/integracao/novoaud/novoaud-angular/test/tests
  • ‘“C:/Python27/Scripts/robot” -d …/results --variable BROWSER:firefox -e exception_path -e not_ready "AUD-001 - Carregar Pauta de Audiencia.robot’

The last line opens Firefox and starts the automated test. If I run it in Windows command line it works. But using the gitlab ci shell option, the browser is not opened.

Anybody with experience with this scenario? I’m using Windows environment.

I’m trying to launch firefox in headless mode for my automated tests, But I got “WebDriverException: Message: Process unexpectedly closed with status: 0”

Running exactly the same command in windows command line it works. No idea what is going on with gitlab shell runner

I have the same problem, did you solve it?

I have found a solution:

Download psexec and then I’ve run the program like this:
psexec \\[domain] -u [admin] -p [password] -accepteula -h -i [program]

Hi!
I know a lot of time has passed. But how did you manage to launch psexec from job’s script? Can’t launch anithing by this way.
