Starting autoit scripts over ssh with cygwin

[tassadar23]

Hi,

thanks for the nice tool. I work with linux at work but we have some customers with windows clients, so we need to extend our test framework with windows clients. The problem is, we use shell scripts (bash) and so we installed cygwin on our windows test clients and connect via ssh to execute commands there.

Now i want to have a small script to start IE, connect to a website and get the results (success or failed). I have made the script and it works fine with the windows client i'm connected to via rdesktop. But when i execute the same .exe on ssh cygwin i get errors. I guess the problem is, that the ssh session over cygwin is a seperated non-gui session.

$ ./ie.exe

test_start--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IECreate (Browser Object Creation Failed)

--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IEBodyReadText, $_IEStatus_InvalidDataType

test_endResult: 0--> IE.au3 V2.4-0 Error from function _IEQuit, $_IEStatus_InvalidDataType

It's still testing code, but at least it works. Maybe you have any suggestion what i can do, to get this working under cygwin over ssh.

#include <IE.au3>

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
ConsoleWrite( "test_start")
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://10.0.13.3:8000/riabconf/generate.html")
$sHTML = _IEBodyReadText ($oIE)
$result = 0
$result1 = StringInStr($sHTML, "Die Webseite kann nicht angezeigt werden")
$result2 = StringInStr($sHTML, "makro")
$result3 = StringInStr("foo", "bar")
If $result1 > 0 Then
    $result = 1
ElseIf $result2 > 0 Then
    $result = 2
ElseIf $result3 > 0 Then
    $result = 3
Else
    $result = 0
EndIf

;MsgBox(0, "Example", "Result: " & $result)
ConsoleWrite( "test_end")
ConsoleWrite( "Result: " & $result)

Sleep(2000)

_IEQuit ($oIE)

Hmm there is no edit function in this forum?

I wanted to add, that i read this thread:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=119129&st=0&p=828789&hl=cygwin&fromsearch=1&#entry828789

but that didn't solve the permission issue. I don't know what the login keys would do with IE.

Yep delete and edit are missing, but there is some forums software that has a option to deactivate these buttons for users below an amount of postings.

But i'm still stuck with that issue about ssh/cygwin/autoitscript

Did you try with "screen" linux command?

It works for me. Just create screen window in windows and attach to it from ssh.
