Hello again!

So, whenever I try to run an application via Octopus-Deploy I get the following error:

Run Package on Master-Controller

I start the exe file by using the powershell option in the script step with the following code:

cd “C:\Repository\QA - Automation\UnitTestProject\bin\Debug”
.\UnitTestProject.exe

Any ideas on how to run my test application on the machine I push my packages to? I’m using Selenium Webdriver not Unit Testing.

Thanks,

Zach

So, for an update on this issue, whenever I switch the Webdriver to use Chrome instead of Firefox everything works fine. I still need to use Firefox and any other web browser.

Here’s a code snippet i use to instantiate the webdriver in C#:

IWebDriver wd = new ChromeDriver();

//instead of
//IWebDriver wd = new FirefoxDriver();

Hi Zach,

Thanks for getting in touch! And thanks for the additional information here. However, I may need to get some further information to better understand what could be going on here. Where are you seeing the logs that you linked here? Would it be possible to attach the whole log as a text file?
Are the errors that you’re receiving in Octopus, during your deployment? A full deployment log would help a lot here. https://octopus.com/docs/how-to/get-the-raw-output-from-a-task

Looking forward to hearing from you and getting to the bottom of this.

Best regards,
Daniel
