Hello,

The above script text has an error, missing ":" after output-to and an added space
folder-report layout:side-by-side output-to:"C:\Reporting\Results\comparision1.html" output-options:html-color

If there are still any issues, please provide the full log the script is presenting, along with the error text, and we can track down what issue it is running into. You can post here, or email to [email protected] including a link back to this forum thread for our reference.

Hi ,thanks it works !. So would it be possible to suppress the exe being shown from the command prompt , wanting it to be done silently. The use would be have them executed in a jenkins job .
Thanks a Lot

Hello,

You can add /silent:
bcompare.exe "@c:\path\script.txt" /silent

Just be aware that actions do not support Undo, script does not preview, and silent will suppress all dialogs including Error messages. It is strongly recommended to add:
log verbose "c:\path\bclog%date%.txt" as the first line of your script so you can review what has happened during your script tasks.
