Run script from command line

Greeting all,

What I am trying to do is to force InDesign to open a jsx file directly. It seems not working either using command line tool or opening jsx file directly. The error message is captured as below image.

Can anyone please advise the best way to trigger a script file from command line? The reason to do so is that the jsx file is generated dynamically by hardware.

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Hugo

Try this,

This is command line argument,

wscript.exe D:\SunilY\Test\vbScript.vbs

This is my vbScript.vbs

Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CC.2017")

dim myArray, myString

myTestJavaScript = "D:\SunilY\Test\test.jsx"

myInDesign.DoScript myJavaScript, 1246973031

You can't just open .jsx file into indesign application. If you want to execute jsx, you can call jsx from vb script, and call that vbscript from command line.
