Schedule ATE to run on server

,

Just wondering if anyone has ever scheduled ATE to run on their server.

We are trying it right now but it keeps in failing whenever it needs to interact with the screen. It does not look like there is a way around it, but figured if anyone has figured it out, they would be on here.

What are you trying to achieve - if it is just automation you may want to look at using rest instead?
When windows scheduled tasks start they typically do not have access to the GUI so you have to do tricks like run as logged in user and have that user logged in.

We load our production environment onto one of our tests every night. We use this test environment to do a lot of our testing by the business before we send to production, so we were looking to use ATE to load solution files automatically instead of having to do them manually each day so people can test.

Right now we are trying to use the command line to load the files, not sure where we are with it though.
