Running TestExecute from Powershell - TestExecute.exe is not a valid project.
Hi all
I'm using TestExecute 14.10.1042.11 x86 with Windows 10 1903 build 18362.295.
When opening powershell (32 or 64 bit) and calling testexecute.exe I awlays get:
Cannot open "C:\Program files (x86)\smartbear\testexecute14\testexecute\bin\testexecute.exe" file because it is not a valid project suite or project file.
Wnen running from goold old cmd, everything is fine.
Did anyone knows what can be the cause?
Thank you...
Hello. If you look at actual command line of launched process you will see:
"C:\PROGRA~2\SMARTB~1\TESTEX~2\Bin\TESTEX~1.EXE" "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 14\Bin\TestExecute.exe"
That's where source of the error lies -- PowerShell transfers full path to TestExecute.exe as the first command line argument of the created process.
Best way to launch some executable from PowerShell script is to use Start-Proccess cmdlet.
