# Run FunTEST Externally

It is possible to run funTEST with command-line arguments to automatically i.e. login or start a project immediately after startup.

## Login at startup

```
funTEST.exe --startup-login <username>:<password>
```

Login to funTEST via command-line argument. Do not show the login dialog while funTEST is starting.

## Startup project

```
funTEST.exe --startup-project <project-name>
```

Auto-select the project when funTEST starts. When no start-up test file is selected, the test-file selection dialog of the specified project will appear.

## Startup Test File

```
funTEST.exe --startup-testfile <testfile-name>
```

Auto-select the test file when funTEST starts. Startup project is required to select the test file.

## Example

```
funTEST.exe --startup-login "fpc:secret" --startup-project "demo" --startup-testfile "test"
```

* Auto-login using "fpc" user with "secret" password.
* Set "test" test-file from project "demo" like a startup project.
