I have a CentOS server running a Jenkins server that has a connection to slave-node running windows server 2016. the Jenkins server has a job that is configured to run a series of Selenium tests on the slave-node.
for the launch method of the slave-node configuration i am using "Launch Agent by connecting it to the master" and I've setup the slave-node create the connection on startup.
the tests can run successfully but when I remote into the windows-slave node via RDP and start the build from the Jenkins server I am unable to see a browser launch and show see the Selenium test interact with the webpage unless I re-lauch the slave-agent within the Remote Desktop connection.
I have tried to running the Jenkins slave-agent as a windows service and also tried starting it with a batch script running at startup but I get the same result.
java -jar agent.jar -jnlpUrl http://{Jenkins Server URL}/computer/{Jenkins Node}/slave-agent.jnlp
is there any way to have the slave-agent run at start-up but also have Desktop interaction when the when I start the Selenium test from a Jenkins build?

This would probably be more appropriate for DevOps or StackOverflow. See https://meta.superuser.com/questions/13805/should-we-do-something-about-the-high-number-of-jenkins-questions-with-no-votes
– jayhendren – 2019-10-08T22:24:24.047@jayhendren is it possible for normal users to migrate a post? I haven't been able to find info on how to do it. should I just delete this question and re-ask it on one of the other forums you mentioned? – user2176057 – 2019-10-09T17:49:45.130
