Execute Program Action: program executed can't pop up a window

Continua CI Discussion
1

The program I am trying to execute (let’s call it GameTest) writes some output to window A, then pops up another window B (an SDL window where the game environment is displayed). My build executes GameTest, and the output to window A is logged, but window B doesn’t pop up, and the execution terminates instead. 

How do I enable GameTest to pop up a window, or take over the display, or whatever it needs to do?

I’m running on Windows 7 with the latest version (downloaded today) of Continua CI.

Thanks!

Hi Ashaman,

Continua runs as a Windows service does not run in the context of a user session and does not allow any interaction with the UI.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the prompt reply and the clarification. We created a headless version of GameTest, and that is working fine with Continua.
Cheers!
