I am having real trouble getting this to work! If you have done this could you share how please? :) Did you manage to get the FlexUnit tests running on Hudson?

AIR allows you to run headless, and I read about some dudes on that list using nix who were using it. Did you try to duplicate what fluint did by using AIR?

We read a number of blogs and forums that suggested we'd need to use xvnc or xvfb in order to fire up the Flash Player on a headless box for the TestRunner.swf, but we failed to actually get it working. The approach we took was to just select the checkbox for the build: "Run Xvnc during build" as that seemed like the easiest thing to do...got this from: http://www.justinedelson.com/blog/2008/06/04/using-xvnc-within-hudson-to-run-flexunit-tests/ But that didn't do it, so more googling led us to the following 2 forums: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/505090?tstart=0 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/504046?tstart=0 which lead us to: "On Linux, you need to make sure a symlink for the flashplayer executable you want to use is created with a name of "gflashplayer" and is available on the user's path." and got some more help from my buddy jon marston (http://marstonstudio.com/): http://n4.nabble.com/Using-a-password-with-XVNC-td377942.html#a377951 application/x-shockwave-flash; /usr/bin/flashplayer '%s'; So we did all of the above and still no-go...anyone? buhler? As a final note, we've put this on hold for a bit as we have other pressing matters and for now developers can run everything locally which is better than nothing.

Running FlexUnit tests requires a window, so you will need to set up the Xvnc Hudson plugin to generate a virtual window (or use xvfb). I didn't see those steps, so I assume you're not actually running any tests currently here? Are you running any tests on the EC2 boxes currently?
