how to run an exe file within a declarative pipeline

[jfern...@forgottenempires.net]

I am trying to create a pipeline which execute the application with some test scripts once it is built. If done through the CMD it opens the application run a test(AIImprovementsBucket1Test) and exit the application.  I have tried this: 

```

        stage('test') {

            steps{

                script{

                    bat """

                        START  ""  "D:/project/Game/project.exe" SCRIPT=AIImprovementsBucket1Test SCRIPTREPORT=project_Test_Run_Testing.txt

                    """

                } 

            }

        }

```

but then the pipeline just finishes as SUCCESS but it does not open the program. I have tried to take the command and put it inside a .bat file then invoke that file from the pipeline like this:

```

        stage('test') {

            steps{

                 bat ('call "C:/Users/User/Desktop/TestHarnessStuff/testHarness.bat"');

            }

        }

```

but I get the same result, pipeline finishes as success with it does not open the application. I have been going through some SO threads on how to run a .exe file but I just found windows exe runner plugin which cannot be used in declarative pipeline as far as I know. Is there any other way or workaround to do this?

Is the application a console app or Windows app? What if you add /wait to the START command?
