I am trying to launch a program 'Beyond Compare' using the PowerShell command

process=Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 4\BCompare.exe"

This works perfectly fine when I use it in Powershell. However, the same does not work when I use Tosca.

I am using the TBox Start Program and passing the Argument as $process=Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 4\BCompare.exe". This fails to launch the Beyond Compare program. I use Powershell to launch the program because I plan to follow up with additional arguments for file comparison.

I have tried the same syntax to launch notepad.exe and it works fine. Any reason why the Beyond Compare program is failing to launch?

  • you can add arguments in TBox Start Program, no need to kludge around with powershell https://documentation.tricentis.com/tosca/1600/en/content/standard_subset/automation_tools/process_operations.htm – Psytho May 24 '23 at 19:16

you would first have to define that you want to run Powershell via cmd. https://superuser.com/questions/1080239/run-powershell-command-from-cmd. Did you tried that?
