Explain the problem

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a testsigma agent using Docker. I'm using Testigma Community (self hosted).

According to the linked guide, I should go to the agent page and click on "add new Agent", then select the option "activate later" to obtain an activation key.

The "activate later" option is not available on my interface (I'm using testigma server v3.0.1). Is this a community licence limitation? I can see from the agent log that it try to connect to app.testigma.com. Does it only works with app.testsigma.com? In this case, is it not possible to have a headless test execution in community edition?

Than you very much

Your inputs to improve

• If it's a licence limitation, plese better specify it in the documentation
• if it's due to an old documentation, please update this page

Hey @cencio91 Yes you are right, the headless option and later activation is available in the cloud version. From the error message i see, it looks like the agent need to run on the background so that web application polls and looks for communication with the agent. But here i see that the agent is not able to communicate to the web app that you have hosted. This could be due to various reason a common reason could be due to security restrictions.

We are currently revamping our documentation, especially for the community edition and this is a valid input, we will promptly work on the feedback and get back to you. However you can avail these feature on our free cloud version as well.

Thank you @amitsavyasachi for your reply. Is this a commercial choise limitation, or it will be available also in self-hosted version later? The pricing step between free and pro plan is too large for my use case. I've got that error running the docker-compose.yml template in the repository, so the agent is installed inside the container

I am encountering this issue also, and looking into the agent source code, there are no way to change the server url host in agent setup to make it accessing our self-hosted testsigma_url as printed in this log

Has there been any further progress on this issue? I am still trying to understand whether it is a bug, limitation or documentation issue.

Hi, is it still impossible to use headless option with self-hosted version? I'm going to start a new project and testsigma would be my first choice, but both headless than self-hosting are requirements for me. I cannot find any side by side comparison between feature of self-hosted and cloud version.

Thank you very much

Hi Rukmangada, I'm sorry but I haven't understood your comment

[amitsavyasachi]

@cencio91 Yes, you can check the comparioson from here CE Vs Cloud.pdf

There are no plans as of now to add this to the community version as we are looking for more contributors who can actually contribute to this on scale. However, these options are available in the cloud version.
