RayEval offers a standardized command line interface for parametrized application initialization. The following parameters may be used in conjunction with the RayEval executable.
1.Creating a new project
Syntax:
RayEval.exe -new [-[<PropertyId>] [<PropertyValue>]] [-save [<path_to_local_file>]]
[-pa [<plugin_arguments>]]
Example:
RayEval.exe -new -@INSTALLERPATH "C:\Projects\Notepad++.exe" -@APPLANGUAGE POL
-save "C:\Projects\Project.rex" ‑MYPROPERTY "Test Value" -ANOTHERPROPERTY "Test Value2"
Parameters:
Parameter |

Description |
|---|---|---|
-new
|

2.Opening an existing project
Syntax:
RayEval.exe –open [<PathToRexFile>]
[-[<PropertyId>] [<PropertyValue>]]
[-pa [<PluginArguments>]]
[-minimize]
[-evaluate]
[-export]
[-export [PDF|DOC] -pa [<path_to_local_file>]]
[-export [PDF|DOC] -pa [<rayflow_url>] [<rayflow_username>] [<rayflow_password>]
[<rayflow_uploadinguser>] [<rayflow_projectID>] [<rayflow_packageID>]]
Example:
RayEval.exe -open "C:\Projects\Notepad++ - 6.1.37 - 1.0.0.rex" -export -pa
"C:\Users\Username\Documents\Notepad++ - 6.1.37 - 1.0.0.docx"
Parameter |
Mandatory |

-[<PropertyID>] [<PropertyValue>] |
N |
Optional parameters that will add the specified value into the project property with the specified ID. |
-pa [<PluginArguments>] |
N |
Optional arguments that are passed to the export plugins, for example RayFlow. |
-minimize |
N |
Opens the project, goes to the Evaluate screen, and shows the window in minimized state. |
-evaluate |
N |
Opens the project and goes to the Evaluate screen. |
-machineName <machineName> -vm <machineName> |
N |
When provided, the virtual machine with a given name is automatically started. The machine must be pre-configured in Settings screen. |
-export |
N |

-export [PDF|DOC] -pa <path_to_local_file> |
N |
Opens project and exports the documentation in the selected format (either PDF or DOC) to a local file. |
-export [PDF|DOC] -pa <rayflow_url> <rayflow_username> <rayflow_password> <rayflow_uploadinguser> <rayflow_projectID> <rayflow_packageID> |
N |
Opens project and exports the documentation in the selected format (either PDF or DOC) to RayFlow. |
3.Open Help
Syntax:
RayEval.exe -? or RayEval.exe -help
Example:
RayEval.exe -help
Parameter |
Mandatory |
Description |
|---|---|---|
-help
|
Y |
This shows the information about every command that can be used with the command line interface of RayEval. |
4.Custom project configuration
Syntax:
RayEval.exe -projectConfiguration "<path>"
Example:
RayEval.exe -projectConfiguration "C:\Program Files (x86)\RayEval\Config\ProjectConfiguration-custom.xml"
|
Note: This switch can be combined with other actions (for example -open and -new). If the configuration does not exists, an error is written to the log file and RayEval silently reverts to a fallback default configuration. |
