Error in powershell script while trying to integrate SOAPUI tests in VSTS

I am using a script in GIT repository in VSTS(Visual Studio Team Services) to execute SOAPUI test. I am using a power shell task in the build definition. Build is getting succeeded but it is not hitting the SOAPUI part.I could see the logs as below:

 

Start-Process : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument xxxxx.
At line:1 char:1
+ Start-Process -FilePath “C:\Program Files (x86)\Smartbear\SOAPUI\Bin\.. ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (Smiley Happy [Start-Process], ParameterBindingException
   + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand

 

I have already tried to open the soapui path mentioned above from plain powershell and I am able to open it, but same in not working through my script. 

 

Below is my script:

 

$testrunner = '.\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.4.0\bin\testrunner.bat'
$project = '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\SOAPUI Project\SOAPUI\xxxx.xml'
$arguments = $project, '"-sTestSuite 1"', '"-RJUnit-Style HTML Report"'

#Start-Process Powershell -FilePath $testrunner -ArgumentList '"$project"' , '"Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted -Force"' -Verb RunAs
Start-Process "powershell" -FilePath '.\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.4.0\bin\testrunner.bat' -Verb runAs
#start-process $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\SOAPUI Project\SOAPUI\XYZ.xml
if ($exitWithError -eq "true")
{
Write-Host "Build task failed"
exit 1
}
else
{
Write-Host "Build task pratap"
exit 0
}

 

Can anyone suggest the changes I should do get the desired result.

 

Regards,

Pratap

        PERSIN I believe you posted this in the wrong forum.  Your question is about SoapUI, this forum is about TestComplete/TestExecute.

      Have you attempted any of the suggested solutions in this thread?

      Additionally, what are you using for your Powershell execution?  Please post your ps script code so we can help you debug.
