I am trying to run PhantomJs.exe throw C# code. My Code :

Process process = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
startInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
startInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"E:\";
startInfo.Arguments = "some string code here";
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();

When I run it is going to WorkingDirectory E:/ but Arguments are not writing on cmd prompt.

Can any buddy suggest me to run arguments on cmd.exe?

  • What is your string you tried as argument? Instead of `some string code here` – Soner Gönül May 21 '13 at 10:32
  • How do you decide that args not writing? – Tommi May 21 '13 at 10:34
  • argument ="phantomjs highcharts-convert.js -infile options1.json -outfile chart1.png -scale 2.5 -width 300 -constr Chart -callback callback.js" – Rakesh Gupta May 21 '13 at 10:41
  • Tommi: The code is running stressful without any error but the argument which i am passing that is not write/display on command prompt – Rakesh Gupta May 21 '13 at 10:57
  • So Process will run a code cmd phantomjs highcharts-convert.js -infile options1.json -outfile chart1.png -scale 2.5 -width 300 -constr Chart -callback callback.js Why you not start phantomjs directly? – Tommi May 21 '13 at 11:14

In order to get cmd.exe to accept a further command as an argument, you need to precede that command with /K (if you want the cmd window to stay open) or /C (if you want the window to close after the command has completed). So:

argument ="/C phantomjs highcharts-convert.js -infile options1.json -outfile chart1.png -scale 2.5 -width 300 -constr Chart -callback callback.js";

should do what you need.

However, if you just want to run the PhantomJS program, I agree with Tommi: just run that without starting a cmd.exe process first (i.e. use startInfo.FileName = "phantomjs.exe"; instead.
