Solution

  • Create a bat file rather, if you want to run it on a windows environment. Keep the required libraries ( like pytest, selenium.. etc) in a requirements.txt file in root directory. Keep the bat file with the root directory. The commands in the bat file will go as below.

    cd path/to/current/directory &
virtualenv env &
"cmd.exe" "\c .env/Scripts/Activte && pip install -r 
requirements.txt && pytes  your commands to trigger script 
here"

    Once you hit the bat the dependent Libraries will be installed and later your scripts will trigger
