simulator black screen when executing from remote machine via ssh about bwoken

Probably gonna mark this as "won't fix" because of the technicalities involved.

If you can somehow have the ssh'ed shell trigger bwoken from outside itself, that'll probably work.

Thanks for a quick response and creating this awesome tool. In case anyone else having the same issue, I have this worked around by running Jenkins slave agent on the slave machine ("Launch slave agents via Java Web Start" on Jenkins slave node setup) instead of launching slave via ssh. Using that setup simulator works fine with bwoken tests.

I'm glad you figured it out! If you write up a blog post, I'd be happy to link to it from the bwoken site.

I'm struggling with the same problem for some time now. This behavior seems to occur, because instruments wants to have login and password on command line. If you use instruments command itself, you'll see this authentication prompt sometimes (sometimes just the gui login).

I'm pretty sure that this prompt appears internally when bwoken executes the instruments command and after a few seconds the tests fail because no valid user/password was entered and instruments cannot control your app.

The solution from @ypa is not an option for us, we have jenkins running on a mac mini and only have ssh access via public authentication!

Anybody else got a solution to pass the command line authentication prompt? Otherwise the whole UIAutomation test stuff is pretty useless for us.
