Hi, make sure to escape the path if it has spaces: bat('start “C:/Users/User/.jenkins/workspace/Project/Steam Build Scripts/scripts/build_dev.bat”');
Why do you need the start? Is the command return before completion or something?

I have a freestyle job that sync from the SCM, build a C++ solution and then it runs a batch script to upload to steam. I am trying to convert it to pipeline as I realized reading the documentation how much more powerful it is. My problem is that on the step to run the .bat file it gets stuck forever, this is the step: ``` ... Stage('batch script'){ steps{ bat 'start C:/Users/User/.jenkins/workspace/Project/Steam Build Scripts/scripts/build_dev.bat' } } ... ``` and this is the simple .bat file: ``` "C:\Users\User\.jenkins\workspace\Project\Steam Build Scripts\builder\steamcmd.exe" +login "someUser" "somePassword" +run_app_build "C:\Users\User\.jenkins\workspace\Project\Steam Build Scripts\scripts\app-build-813780-dev.vdf" +quit ``` running the same file from the freestyle job works fine like this:[cid:image001.png@01D6925A.705FD950] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
