Working command line does not work in batch file

Hello Everyone,

 

My command line below works perfectly when running on CMD. However, when I put it a batch file, it does not execute my test. It only opens my test suite.

 

c:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestComplete 14\x64\Bin>TestComplete.exe " C:\Works\MyProjects\SmokeTest.pjs" /r /p:SmokeTestOne /t:"KeywordTests|MyTests"

 

PS: I did follow this post but not successfull.

 

Thanks for your input!

    You can't run the batch file from TestComplete like that... you need to call TestComplete within the batchfile as the part of the command line as indicated.  Then simply execute the batch file.

        You need to actually reference the TestComplete tool.
