Hi folks,
We have recently upgraded to Eggplant Functional 25.3.102 and we use RDP to connect to our SUTs. We had issues initially with opening RDP connections inside scripts, until we modified the General Preferences - Connection - Use New RDP Connection property to always be TRUE. Our scripts now work from Eggplant Functional, but fail if run from Runscript.sh, which we use when testing from continuous integration code pipelines. Is there a way to set this property to TRUE when running a script / suite using Runscript.sh do you know please?
Worked out a solution to this - we were using Runscript.sh from a Windows Service Account as part of our CI/CD pipeline, and we found we needed to start an Eggplant Functional session for that user, set the option in the UI, and also create one Connection in the Connection List with the appropriate protocol (RDP) and screen geometry (1024x768), before using that account to run a script with Runscript. It seems that doing these two things in the UI adds settings to the %APPDATA%/Roaming/Eggplant/Defaults/ Plist file is read on subsequent start-ups of the tool, whether Runscript is running or whether Eggplant Functional is running.
