Runnings tests on Windows
Status: Beta

Hello,
I've been having some troubles running the tests on a Windows platform. I work a Mac system which runs the tests ok but I have TeamCity (http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/) running on a Windows server (I would have prefered it to be Linux but life is not perfect).
TeamCity triggers the build and manages to get the resulting artifacts OK but tests fail to even run.
I suppose this can be graphical related (since TeamCity runs as a non windowing process on Tomcat) but I could use some more help to understand what happens and how to fix this.
Yes, I would also guess that there is no display. I once tried to run the build from cruise control which had been started as a Windows Service. The build was OK but I did not find a way to run the tests. Everything working if cruise control was started from command line but as soon as I switched to Windows service the tests did not run anymore. The solution was to switch to a Linux box...
