I am starting to use external commands in my application and I wanted to start with something easy to test if the command is executed. I have created ".cmd" file that I want jubula to run (attachment). This file is located in: "c:\test\" and is named test.cmd. So I created an "execute external command" test case in jubula with command: "C:\\test\\test.cmd" and expected return code 0.The path is correct because when you enter incorrect path the test would fail. My problem is the opposite: The test will succeed but the file test.txt that this command batch should delete is still there. I tried creating new directories through external commands and it did not work neither.

Could you please let me know what might be the problem? Thanks.

Something like "cd C:\dir" will not change the drive the program uses. There is some option that makes "cd" also change the drive.

And as you may have guessed, that is not a Jubula problem Wink
