I am trying to run 2 cmd command in PowerShell but an error displayed.

CMD

cd C:\apache-jmeter-5.2.1\bin
.\jmeter -n -t C:\User-search.jmx -l C:\Result.jtl

Error

When I open new PowerShell instance with runas administrator then the command runs successfully.

I tried the below command and it opens the new PowerShell window as administrator but error is same

Start-Process powershell -Verb runAs ".\jmeter -n -t C:\User-search.jmx -l C:\Result.jtl"

Error

Solution

  • Finally, I am able to run it...

    Actually, before running Jmeter I added below 3 paths to the Path environment variable.

    C:\Windows\System32
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.2\bin
C:\apache-jmeter-5.2.1\bin

    Now I removed the 3rd path i.e 'C:\apache-jmeter-5.2.1\bin' and run the command inside ScriptBlock 

    Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {
cd C:\apache-jmeter-5.2.1\bin
.\jmeter -n -t C:\User-search.jmx -l C:\Result.jtl
}
