Installing and configuring Protractor using batch

I am trying to configure Protractor framework using batch script. I wrote batch script for downloading and installing Node.js and named it let say "prereq.bat"

set NODEJS_FILENAME=node-v10.15.0-x64.msi
set NODEJS_URL=https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v10.x/%NODEJS_FILENAME%
set NODEJS_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION=C:\

powershell -NoExit -Command "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('%NODEJS_URL%', '%NODEJS_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION%%NODEJS_FILENAME%'); exit;"
msiexec /qn /l* C:\node-log.txt /i %NODEJS_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION%%NODEJS_FILENAME%

exit

My second batch file "config.bat" is where I put all npm commands to configure protractor and other required libraries

npm install -g protractor && npm install protractor-beautiful-reporter && npm install js-yaml && webdriver-manager update

I created a simple JAVA GUI tool with a "Setup" button. On click, the two batch files are called using two separate "Runtime.getRuntime().exec()".

within JAVA code the bat files are executed using following commands:

"cmd /c start "prereq.bat";
"cmd /c start "config.bat";

The problem:

When I execute the complete solution from Eclipse IDE, everything works fine. Node is installed and then protractor is configured, But, when I export the project as runnable jar, and try to execute, Node gets installed successfully but when second batch "config.bat" is called, I am getting, "npm is not recognized" error

Solution I tried: within code, i used Process.waitFor() method so that the second batch is called only when first batch commands runs successfully. Still, getting same error.

appreciate any sort of help.

Try add the nodejs installation directory into PATH environment variable at the beginning of your config.bat. So that the cmd.exe can find the npm binary via PATH environment variable.

// config.bat

set PATH=<Nodejs installation directory>;%PATH%
npm install -g protractor && npm install protractor-beautiful-reporter && npm install js-yaml && webdriver-manager update
