How to run scheduled task for the batch with 2 parameters?

Question

I have a batch file which I need to run every 15 min.

When I click twice on the batch I:

1. Need to enter the name of test to run and It is always Scripttest.jmx, like this:

2. Need to enter y in this SS:

3. After that the batch runs successfully.

I am trying to create scheduled task, and I am doing the following:

But it is not working. How exactly I should write the code in the scheduled task for the scenario as above? Thanks, Inna

Answer 1

Please try to make the following batch file: (Open notepad and paste the following code, then save it as "MyCustomBatch.bat" )

cd "C:\Users\innashn\QVScalabiltiy\ScriptExecutor"
.\ExecuteTests.bat
Scripttest.jmx
y

This should change directory to where the executetasks batch file is (line 1) Then it will run that batch file (line 2) and enter the custom commands while auto advancing (line 3 & 4).

Answer 2

I had the feeling that you need to pass inputs, not exactly arguments.

To confirm I tried to download and verify the tool used in your question.

Then I realized that you are using a bat to call another bat that asks for data input, (not exactly arguments, but input).

In order to propose help in your case, I choose to suggest that you copy the bat file originally used ExecuteTests.bat, renaming it to something like ExecuteTests2.bat, and add the edition of the bold and italic lines below and add the necessary arguments for you to use this in scheduling.

Obs.: 1 The answer is considering that the bat file in which you will use the input is: %UserProfile%\QVScalabilityTools\ScriptExecutor<b>ExecuteTests2.bat

Obs.: 2 The lines where editions took place are suggested respectively are:

003:  cls && cd /d "%~dp0"

008:  if /I [%~1]==[debug] set "debug=on"
009:  if /I [%~x1]==[.jmx] set "testInput=%~nx1"

069:  if /I Not "%testinput%" == "%~nx1" ( 
070:       set testInput=
071:       set /p testInput=Enter the TEST(s) you want to run :
072:      )

096:  if /I not  "%~2" == "y" ( 
097:       set confirmInput=
098:       set /p confirmInput=   DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED? : [Y/n] 
099:       ) else (
100:        IF /i "%confirmInput%" == "" GOTO :executeTest
101:        IF /i "%confirmInput%" == "Y" GOTO :executeTest
102:        IF /i "%confirmInput%" == "N" GOTO :selectTest
103:   )

Obs.: 3 The edits made your bat use the %~1 and %~2 arguments, where respectively they will be used in the relevant inputs:
