Part of the test step requires a missing folder scenario to be handled correctly. I am trying to rename the folder within the script. So far, without success as every variant returns "CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified at exec-process (/getstarted/First Test.test:...)":

// Try 1: Direct call to command
exec-process -command "rename C:\\T32 T32_TEMP"

// Try 2: Create a batch (which works) and then call it (fails).
str "rename C:\\T32 T32_TEMP" | write-lines -uri "file:/Users/Public/Documents/core.bat"
wait 100
exec-process "file:/Users/Public/Documents/core.bat"

// Try 3: Access the existing batch file.
exec-process "file:/Users/Public/Documents/core.bat"

Running the batch file manually is successful.

Hi Andrew,

Correct ecl command should be:

exec-process "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe" "/C" "rename" "C:\\T32" "T32_TEMP"

RCPTT does not have 'rename' command, so if you want to do it via ECL, script should be:

copy-file "C:/T32" "C:/" "T32_TEMP"
delete-file "C:/T32"

Thanks, I'd tried that command but without the (frankly bizarre) tokenisation. My workaround had been to write a batch file and then get the AUT to call it using Run/External Tools... Yours is more efficient, so I'll adopt it.

The copy/delete pattern would impact the test time as the directory has 1GB data.

Thanks for your help.
