How to run a bat file with a relative path?

[TestedOrange]

Hi,

I wonder how can I run a bat file from a relative path?

Our Testsuite is located in a git repository which results in different absolute paths per user.

Our folder structure looks like:

root

root/Scripts/MyBat.bat

root/TestComplete/suite.pjs

root/TestComplete/suite/foo.mds

etc.

I'd like to run the root/Scripts/MyBat.bat out of a keyword in root/TestComplete/suite/KeywordTests/

How can I achieve this without using an absolut path to MyBat.bat ?

Thank you and kind Regards

Hi @TestedOrange,

You need to play with ..\ or %CD%

It's mostly a question to system admins

I'd go with @TanyaYatskovska 's suggestion.  It's probably the easiest to implement.

Thanks for your feedback.

I solved it by writing a routine using aqFileSystem.GetCurrentFolder() and aqFileSystem.GetFolderInfo().ParentFolder.
