    This works! It takes a parameter and test run resumes only after the batch file has completed it's execution.

     

    Sub Run_Build (Build_Version)

     

    dim shell, x, y, z

    x="C:\FolderA\FolderB\"

    y=x & "App_Name.bat "

    z=Project.Variables.Build_Version

    set shell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

    shell.run y + z, 1, true

     

    End sub

Thanks, however still having issues.

 

I have a keyword test that calls this script and passes it the Build_Version variable.

 

Running this code, will just bring up the command window for a split second and won't continue executing:

Sub Run_Build (Build_Version)

Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell").Run "C:\FolderA\FolderB\App_Name.bat + Build_Version", 1, True

End Sub

 

However this bit of code works correctly:

Sub Run_Build (Build_Version)

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "C:\FolderA\FolderB\App_Name.bat18.00.02", 1, True

End Sub

 

But, here I want to replace 18.00.02 with the variable. So when I do this, it does not work !

Sub Run_Build (Build_Version)

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "C:\FolderA\FolderB\App_Name.bat Build_Version", 1, True

End Sub

If I have it as + Build_Version, it will say path not found.
