在cmd中执行后退出bat文件

Question

Im running a selenium TestNG script using ANT in eclipse. The execution completes but the cmd prompt stays there even after the execution when i try to run the bat file from java. But when i run the bat file by double clicking it, the cmd exit after execution. Here below are the code to invoke the bat file and content of bat file:

Runtime.getRuntime()
                        .exec("cmd /c start run.bat", null, new File("C:\\Users\\nvithushan\\Desktop\\HSBC\\gen\\seleniumwebdriver\\HSBC_Demo"));

This is the content of the batch file.

@echo off
echo exectution starting
start ant
exit

Any help

Answer 1

It should be sufficient in your exec to do cmd /c run.bat and in your batch file just do ant.bat or call ant.bat . By definition the start command starts a separate cmd process. Note also the documentation:

If [the command you run] is an internal cmd command or a batch file then the command processor is run with the /K switch to cmd.exe. This means that the window will remain after the command has been run.
