Hello all,
currently winrash users aren't returning any results from their testing.
This is because we need tests to run on a visible desktop, better still in interactive mode.
To save both the tests and winrash we need winrash to be somewhat similar to windows automatic updates,
when new tests are available, winrash should pop up and say "new tests are available, run now?" and then give a
yes/no, later option. Like this we can have interactive tests, and use winrash so people don't have to remember to download/run the tests. I do it but downloading the exe manually/opening a command line in the desktop/running the tests with the -t option/deleting the test.exe file isn't exactly user friendly. Maybe this task should go in the todo list, or should at least go on the web site somewhere, it would be an attractive task for newcomers with windows programming experience.
I have already sent links to documents on MSDN that state how to make a service run on an interactive desktop. As some of the tests are a little distracting graphically, we should probably do the dialog as you suggest. I guess this is really up to the people running the test machines.
If the source to winrash was in the Wine tree I would already have fixed it by now.
