How can I run a script from my command prompt? #31

Closed ahmedmohiduet closed 3 years ago

I can record my mouse keyboard actions and clicking on 'Tools/Generate Sources' creating script for my actions. So, how can I execute a Repeat script from my command prompt? It appears the documentation lacking information regarding this.

Could you elaborate more on why you want to trigger the task from command prompt?

The way to do this is to assign a shared variable https://github.com/repeats/Repeat/wiki/Getting-started#shared-variable as a task activation, then use the CLI (https://github.com/repeats/Repeat/wiki/Command-Line-Interface-(CLI)) to set the variable. For example

java -jar Repeat.jar cli variable -a get -s global -n variable_name -v someval

@hptruong93 : Thank you for prompt response. It had'nt occurred to me there can be different ways a script can be run. I'm still going through documentation and kind off unsure about its overall workflow. (y)
