I have a batch file in TestedApps which I am executing via a script.
It is running/opening but seemingly only running the first command I have and then closing and the test is marked as successful. If I run the bat through Windows and not TC, it runs the whole thing fine.
How can I get TC to run this whole script without stopping/closing?
Champion Level 3Here's an answer from an archived script that can be helpful
from m_essaid
I use cmd alot now, I create environments for my apps.
for example :
first, I kill all cmd processes
then :
TestedApps.Add('cmd.exe', 'mylocation\mybatchfile.bat', 1, true, '');
TestedApps.cmd.Run;
Then I wait till the end of the batch execution with this wait procedure
p := Sys.FindChild('ProcessName', 'cmd');
while p.Exists do
begin
IsClosed:= p.WaitProperty('Exists', False);
if not IsClosed then
Delay(3000, 'I wait for the end of the files copy');
p:= Sys.FindChild('ProcessName', 'cmd');
end;
I was able to solve this issue with this script:
function Setup() {
//Run bat file from TestedApps
var app = TestedApps.Items(0);
app.Run();
Delay(5000);
Sys.Refresh();
//Map console object
var p = NameMapping.Sys.cmd.wndConsoleWindowClass;
while (p.Exists) {
//while bat is open, keep test running. Looks for text within the console window
var IsOpen = p.WaitProperty("wText", "*Deleting dashboard records*", 1000);
if (IsOpen == false)
break;
Aliases.cmd.RefreshMappingInfo();
}
}
It would be good if there is a way to detect if a .cmd file was started by doubleclick in the explorer or if it was started by a already open command line. In the later case (and especially if executed by another program) you dont want the pause

Hi,
> if there is a way to detect if a .cmd file was started [...]
Check if this work for you:
REM Find out if this file was started interactively
REM %interactive%==0 if started not from cmd window (i.e., e.g. by double-clicking in Explorer)
set interactive=1
echo %cmdcmdline% | find /i "%~0" > nul
if not errorlevel 1 set interactive=0
rem Execute required commands here
:End
if _%interactive%_==_0_ pause
exit /b %errorlevel%
