string parameter value not take in powershell script when given to end of File Path [duplicate]

Question

I pass , string parameter to .ps script as an argument , but when the print value shows, when it passes as my file path it will not take. need some expert help to fix this.

    # Main-function
function main($scriptName='test') {
    #run test-suit
    run-test-suit1
    exit
}

# start run apache test plan
function run-test-suit1
{
    #start to run test plan
    New-Variable -Name 'scriptName' -Value $scriptName".bat"
    Write-host "Start Run" $scriptName "test suit";
    C:/workspace/D/Int_Module/$scriptName  -NoNewWindow -Wait

}

main @args

Out Put:

test.bat

    @ECHO OFF

echo Read and set host

set message=Load test name not Provided 
echo %message%

In short: An executable path that is quoted or contains variable references must - for syntactic reasons - be invoked with &, the call operator; see this answer to the linked duplicate for details. — mklement0

Therefore: C:/workspace/D/Int_Module/$scriptName ... -> & C:/workspace/D/Int_Module/$scriptName ... (all on one line). — mklement0

As an aside: There's normally no reason to use New-Variable to create variables - $scriptName = "$scriptName.bat" will do. — mklement0

You can try to invoke cmd from powershell:

# start run apache test plan
function run-test-suit1()
{
    #start to run test plan
    New-Variable -Name 'scriptName' -Value $scriptName".bat"
    Write-host "Start Run" $scriptName "test suit";

    cmd.exe /c C:/workspace/D/Int_Module/$scriptName -NoNewWindow -Wait 
}

Calling via cmd.exe /c is a viable workaround, but the proper solution is to use &, the call operator
