public void ExecuteUITest(string Workflow)
{
string filePath = $@“{CurrentWorkingDirectory}\StartUITests.ps1”;
RunspaceConfiguration runspaceConfiguration = RunspaceConfiguration.Create();
Runspace runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(runspaceConfiguration);
runspace.Open();
Pipeline pipeline = runspace.CreatePipeline();
Command scriptCommand = new Command(filePath);
Collection commandParameters = new Collection();
CommandParameter commandParm = new CommandParameter(“Workflow”, Workflow);
commandParameters.Add(commandParm);
scriptCommand.Parameters.Add(commandParm);
pipeline.Commands.Add(scriptCommand);
pipeline.Invoke();
}

**Issue Details **
When trying to execute the above method (ExecuteUITest) with a value passed through the parameter “Workflow”, Iam able to reach the StartUITests.ps1 where this workflow value is passed as a parameter again to another solution and it executes the respective methods inside the class file based on the parameter value passed.
The issue here is its invoking the method based on the parameter name successfully and once the method execution is completed it returns with an error and the test script execution is getting failed

Ashok,
Welcome to the forum. :wave:t3:

Before we proceed … please do not post images of code, console output or error messages as this is not helpful at all. Instead post the plain text and format it as code. This makes it easy for people willing to help you to actually copy your code and use it right away to reproduce your issue if needed.

When you post code, sample data, console output or error messages please format it as code using the preformatted text button ( </> ). Simply place your cursor on an empty line, click the button and paste your code.

Thanks in advance

How to format code in PowerShell.org 1 <---- Click :point_up_2:t4: :wink:

( !! Sometimes the preformatted text button hides behind the settings gear symbol. :wink: )
