I have a shortcut with 'target' 'C:UsersPublicTestProTestPro Automation Frameworktaf.js'.

I want to run that from a batch file so I copied the 'C:UsersPublicTestProTestPro Automation Frameworktaf.js' into cmd.exe command line and pressed enter. Nothing happened.

How can I run 'C:UsersPublicTestProTestPro Automation Frameworktaf.js' from a command line on Windows7?

update

the js file contains

I tried to run the js file with both Wscript.exe and Cscript.exe as @Serge suggested but nothing worked = the program I start by doubleclicking hasn't started. No error either.

You have two options:

or

The former one starts the command line version of Windows Scripting Host and the latter one is starting the window version.

Windows Script Host Version 5.812

The command line options are documented here:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/cscript

and here:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/wscript

In your script file you should use the full path to your jar file and possibly full path to the java.exe

Alternatively, to allow the java.exe locate the tar-loader.jar file you should change the current directory to the one containing this file, so before invoking wscript make cd 'C:UsersPublicTestProTestPro Automation Framework'

As you mentioned that you like to run this script in a single touch, you also may create a shortcut on your desktop that has a command line set to Wscript.exe 'C:UsersPublicTestProTestPro Automation Frameworktaf.js' and working directory set to C:UsersPublicTestProTestPro Automation Framework

If you can run 'java' in a console window with no errors, then

1) Create a text file on your desktop called 'taf.txt'

2) Enter 'java -Dlog.dir=%TEMP% -jar taf-loader.jar' into the text file, and save it

3) Rename the file to 'taf.bat'

Done.

Using a scripting host to start a script which launches a shell that launches a java program is just too long winded.

Think of it in terms of what you want to achieve - you want the program to launch with a click of an icon.

The batch file is the fastest way to achieve that on win7.

If you were using an OS that could natively kick off a Javascript script with no messing about it would be a nice way to launch it, but that script wouldn't work on anything other than windows (unless ActiveX is ported now - been a long time since I've used it).

Java 1.6 comes with jrunscript to run JavaScript outside of web browsers.
