Run Powershell script in Ranorex Solution?

Hello, can I call Powershell script "doSomething.ps1" in Ranorex TestSuite? in UserCodeModule or in Recoding as "Run Application"? Many thanks!

Hello TestXYZ,

Yes, you can execute Powershell scripts within a UserCodeModule. Please follow the instructions on how to do so: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kebab/archive/2 ... rom-c.aspx

Hi Robert,
thank you very much for your link. It works fine but write Powershell commands in C# as UserCodeModule - it would not so flexible for any changes in Powershell logic. On the other way I would call PS in Batch file (.cmd) such as

Code: Select all

start /B powershell.exe -file ".\doSomething.ps1"
then put it to action “Run Application” in Ranorex.
However it would be very nice, if “Run Application“ (or "Run Script") supports Call of Powershell directly in the later Ranorex release. :!:
Best wishes
