Batch file for testng.xml does not run as scheduled

Question

According to this question, I have created a batch file and created a scheduled task for it. However, it does not run at the time it was scheduled. I tried executing the script commenting the testng.xml line and see a space in the path of bin and lib.

Could this be the reason ? Any thoughts, please.

Here is my script :

set ProjectPath=C:\Users\workspace\RestAssured 
echo %ProjectPath%
set classpath=%ProjectPath%\bin;%ProjectPath%\Lib\*
echo %classpath%
java org.testng.TestNG %ProjectPath%\testng.xml

System thrown with the following classNotFoundException :

Error: Could not find or load main class org.testng.TestNG

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.testng.TestNG

Here is the error log :

C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured>set classpath=C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured \bin;C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured \lib*

C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured>echo C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured \bin;C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured \lib*

C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured \bin;C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured \lib*

Error: Could not find or load main class org.testng.TestNG

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.testng.TestNG

Do you really have directory called "Lib"? I'm expecting "lib" to be there because windows is a case sensitive os.

Sorry, that was my bad, I did modified it to "lib" and worked on it. However, it is still throwing the same exception : java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.testng.TestNG. After searching on the web for quite some time, I found that the lib folder should contain reference jars, which I have added them in the lib folder, but still no luck. Any thoughts ? Also, the console is printing as below when echo command is run : C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured \bin; C:\Users\eclipse-workspace\RestAssured \lib\* There is a gap in the path before \bin and \lib. – user1911509 Sep 06 '18 at 19:54
When you set ProjectPath you add this white space 'ProjectPath=C:\Users\workspace\RestAssured ' take a look on the example – RocketRaccoon Sep 07 '18 at 11:04
I am able to run the batch file successfully. However, the test cases are not passing due to Illegal reflective access. I have edited my question and posted the error log in the questions. – user1911509 Sep 08 '18 at 06:46
What version of Java do you use - 8 or newer? Also it is a warning, not an error. There should be something else. – RocketRaccoon Sep 08 '18 at 07:02
I am using the Java Version 9. java version "9.0.1" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+11) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.1+11, mixed mode) – user1911509 Sep 08 '18 at 21:07
Try to run it with Java 8. Any way it would be useful if could share reproducible example. – RocketRaccoon Sep 08 '18 at 22:01
I ran it and tried a lot to troubleshoot with no luck, it still throws the same error. Class not found for TestNG. In fact, just by executing the testng.xml file, runs. I don't see any problems. However, when executing the batch file, the system throws the error. – user1911509 Sep 11 '18 at 18:19
Are you sure that you have TestNG in your classpath? Also try to use verbose option to get additional info. – RocketRaccoon Sep 11 '18 at 18:35
Yes, I have two of them in my classpath. I am using Extent Reports so my classpath has testng-6.9.9.jar file and before using Extent Reports, I have used testng-6.9.4.jar file. Both the files are in my classpath. – user1911509 Sep 11 '18 at 18:46
And what verbose says? – RocketRaccoon Sep 11 '18 at 20:26
Sorry, I have just added the verbose, I have set it to 10, it maybe too much but just wanted to get more information from the script that I am running. I have posted below the original question. – user1911509 Sep 11 '18 at 22:08
As I see rest-assured and jxl are missed in your classpath. If you could share somehow your project directly to me it will dramatically speed up investigation. – RocketRaccoon Sep 12 '18 at 06:21
Sure, I can share using TeamViewer. I was trying to debug the program and also trying to change the directory by creating a folder and put all the jars into that folder to reload into classpath. However, I got the - Java platform se binary has stopped working followed by "An out of memory error has occurred. Consult the "Running Eclipse" section of the read me file for information on preventing this kind of error ....." I was recommended to exit workbench. So, I was trying to figure out the problem. Can you please share your email id, I can send the invite ? – user1911509 Sep 12 '18 at 06:45

I have solved it using batch file method and CI/CD Building in Jenkins. The problem that I have is with the eclipse and not with my code. For some reason, eclipse Oxygen version has a bug to identify it's own project jar files. Thank you very much for your time and help. – user1911509 Sep 27 '18 at 18:56
