The batch file has only two lines: c:\program.exe … pause but pause does’t run

The batch file has only two lines:

c:\program.exe ...
pause

but pause does’t run after “program” completes… I don’t see that “press any key message” 🙁

If I move pause on the first line, then it magically works.

    It fails because you are not running an executable directly – you are running it via the phpunit.bat batch file (based on information in comment added to question).

    You must CALL a batch file from within another batch file if you want to return to the caller

    call phpunit
    pause
