Batch file closing before completing all steps

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....

    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,

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%
