Hi Robert,

Write your test scripts in unit test and add all test scripts unit test batch runner then you can call batch execution in .bat
file.

Thanks

Selenium is just a library / framework to interact with browser. So, you need to use Selenium in any of the available test framework (like MSTest, NUnit etc) to exercise Selenium tests.

As you are using Visual Studio, I believe you are using MSTest framework. So, these tests can be called/executed using VS or through command line.

So, to create a batch file, you just place this commandline and save it with .bat

eg:

mstest /testcontainer:C:\myWebTests\login.dll /test:validlogin /test:invalidlogin /resultsfile:testResults.trx

You have multiple options to run using mstest or vstest.console

Hi All,

I am using Specflow BDD framework in C# for selenium automation.

I would like to know how to create batch file for this project. Is it possible to create?

[Adrian]

I'm not sure what is required.

Do you want to create a batch file in code?
Do you want to manually create a batch file?

Do you want to run a batch file?

To run a batch file you will need code like this:

            System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

            process.StartInfo.FileName = @"c:\Auto\archive.bat";

            process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"C:\Auto\" ;

            process.Start();

            process.WaitForExit(3000);

Cheers,
Adrian.

Yes I want to create batch file for C# selenium specflow bdd framework. But I don't have idea how to create.

Also as in selenium our script interact with browser and we have external input file. Will that be manage in batch file if we create.

tests  are usually run be either mstest.exe or nunit.exe

Either command line options are well documented
