Hi,
Interestingly it seems Java (and therefore Groovy) has an issue with executing the "cd" command - hoave you seen this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4884681/how-to-use-cd-command-using-java-runtime
I think the post explains to use absolute paths instead, and also goes on to show a work around.
Maybe there's another way to do what you want with the allowed commands e.g. check file existance:
def dir = new File( '/home/bgew' )
if( dir.exists() ) {
...
}
Hope this helps,

Hi Rup, Thanks for reply, I used both Runtime and Processbuilder, unfortunately I got same error. I just need to go to /home/bgew directory and run a script myScript.sh with an argument my argument .
Hi,
I made a simple script:
#!/bin/bash echo "Hello World! $1 $2"
Have you tried anything like:
//method 1 ['/Users/test/soapuiblog/hello.sh', 'arg1', 'arg2'].execute() //method 2 def sout = new StringBuffer(), serr = new StringBuffer()
//def proc = 'ls /temp'.execute()
def proc = '/Users/test/soapuiblog/hello.sh arg1 arg2'.execute()
proc.consumeProcessOutput(sout, serr)
proc.waitForOrKill(1000)
log.info "out> $sout err> $serr"Method 1 seems to execute without any error, but I couldn't be sure it had worked so I tried a way that captures the output method 2 (based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/159148/groovy-executing-shell-commands) which also seemed to work giving the below log:
Fri Apr 08 08:50:15 BST 2016:INFO:out> Hello World! arg1 arg2 err>
I ran this in a Groovy TestStep.
Let me know if this works for you?

Rup
