Hi! I've been trying to run some performance tests and I followed the guide. I started off with the class AOOTest and it workewd fine, so then I did the class smoke test and it worked fine plus some more. But now all of a sudden I can't run the tests anymore. I just get the message:
*java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't connect to automation server!* JUnit starts fine and I get the message in console: * INFO: Start running test method [smokeTest]* but after 30 sec it stops I do the same tests again but it doesn't work. I've spent an hour or two on google but I couldn't find anything useful so far. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
