Hello Everyone,

I am trying to run a batchfile that contains commands to hit a nunit console runner executable. I am using the system.diagnostics.process method to run the batch file

Here is the code:

Path used in method:
C:\Users\Victor\workstride-automated-tests\DextapAutomation\SeleniumDemo\bin\Debug\../../Batchfiles/

Batchfile Name: RandomBatchfile.bat


ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.WorkingDirectory = Directory specified above
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
startInfo.FileName = RandomBatchfile.bat
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
startInfo.Arguments = "C-Sharp Console application";

try
{
// Start the process with the info we specified.
// Call WaitForExit and then the using statement will close.
using (Process exeProcess = Process.Start(startInfo))
{
exeProcess.WaitForExit();
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(
@"Something went wrong when trying to run the tests,
here is the exception: {0} ", e.ToString());
}

What I have tried:

When I run the program it says it cant find the specified file and the directory it references is the native directory for the solution instead of the directory i specify above. I checked to see if the directory is being set before the process begins and it is, so I am stumped. Please Help !
