Use TeamCity to run Selenium test, but not headless

I have done some research on this, but still confused.

Im using Selenium 3 (C#) with a Chromedriver, Nunit 2.6.4, Visual Studio 2015, TFS and TeamCity 9.

I would like to run a Selenium test, using TeamCity, but I want to physically see the test run. I dont want it to run as a background process. I've seem some say something about running the user agent not as a windows service or to run it manually with some script. But this is where I get confused.

Do I have to add additional code to the project or do it some other way, like a batch file. Or is there another way to run the test in a non headless browser?

Im pretty new to this, so please be gentle.

Thanks in advance.

Go to The agent's service.properties and then set "web.app=true". It will be under the agent directory as "D:\BuildAgent3" if agent is installed on D drive. Restart your agent..

From Now onwards, you should see the browser running in headful mode. It worked for us in past, but later on we moved on to a Selenium Grid and hence this setting is not in use for us.

Let me know if it helps..!

If you are running the TeamCity agent as a service they use a "hidden" desktop and you can't see them run.

You can run the the TeamCity agent as a process by opening cmd as administartor, change directory to BuildAgent\bin and write agent.bat start. Then you should be able to see the tests run. Remember to stop the service first
