Visual Studio Code – Windows .bat file to run python script

Try to create a Windows .bat file to achieve the below function:

cd C:repodemo
venvScriptsactivate
python test.py

In Visual Studio Code terminal window, I can run the above lines without issue.

Created a .bat file as below:

cd C:repodemo
"C:UsersjwAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython310python.exe" "venvScriptsactivate"
"C:UsersjwAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython310python.exe" "python test.py"
pause

When double click the above .bat file to run it, end with error:

if [ "${BASH_SOURCE-}" = "$0" ]; then

SyntaxError: cannot assign to literal here. Maybe you meant ‘==’ instead of ‘=’?

Also tried the below .bat code, not working either:

cd C:repodemo
venvScriptsactivate
python test.py
pause

How to correct the .bat file to make it work?

======================================

Based on @Compo’s comment, tried the below version and it successfully executed python test.py:

cd C:repodemo
call "venvScriptsactivate.bat"
python test.py
pause

but seems it didn’t finish call "venvScriptsactivate.bat", the command line window shows as below:

When manually run the code, it will prefix the path with (venv) as below which shows the proper result:

============================================

UPDATE:

The below .bat version works now, an answer from this question

cd C:repodemo && call "venvScriptsactivate.bat" && python test.py && pause

    You should either remove "C:…python.exe" from the second line:

    cd C:repodemo
"C:UsersjwAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython310python.exe" "venvScriptsactivate"
python heatmap.py  <-- like this
pause

    or remove python

    cd C:repodemo
"C:UsersjwAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython310python.exe" "venvScriptsactivate"
"C:UsersjwAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython310python.exe" "heatmap.py"
pause

    Try this:

    cd c:python
python scripts/test.py <-- here, you can replace "test" with the name of the Python program(script) you want to execute you
