• I have a web application and I am using selenium for test automation, but there are few scenarious where I have window based pop-up like file upload, file download etc, I have handled these window based pop-up by integrating selenium and autoIT tool. Everything perfectly works fine if I run the scripts locally, but if I trigger the same from the Jenkins job, the .exe file which I am calling is not doing what it is suppose to do. Kindly help.
  
  Please let me know if more details required.

Jenkins runs as a service on session 0.  That means that some window states will not occur like when you run on a user session. Example, windows will never be active, so send () and winwaiactive won't work. Use controlclick instead.
