OMG! That link is so useful. Now I no longer fear the part of code signing, UI Automation + Frank, Pasteboard, Spotlight... and you confirmed my gut feeling that running Jenkins as a background user has several downsides. Most of blog posts I read about installing Jenkins gave instructions to install it as a background user alone. I was not that serious about using my own account. I assume you guys have a unique normal OSX user for Jenkins alone. While I spice up my Jenkins setup, I wish you next week full of non-fail tests commits. Thanks a lot! Francisco
