Try replacing

String[] command = {"/teste/teste_back/script.sh, "+argument1+", "+argument+""};

with

String[] command = {"/teste/teste_back/script.sh", argument1, argument};

Refer ProcessBuilder for more information.

ProcessBuilder(String... command)

Constructs a process builder with the specified operating system program and arguments.

"(actually it's "ls" but it should work exactly the same way)"

No, it is not. Because the 'ls' process returns immediately after its call. Your omixplayer at the other hand is interactive and will accept commands at runtime.

What you have to do:

• create a class which implements Runnable and let this class read from the prs.getInputStream(). You will need this because the .read() will block and wait for new data to read.

• get the OutputStream of the Process object (prs.getOutputStream()). Everything you write to the OutputStream will be read from your omixplayer. Don't forget to flush the OutputStream and every command needs an "\n" at the end to be executed.

Like that:

public class TestMain {
    public static void main(String a[]) throws InterruptedException {

        List<String> commands = new ArrayList<String>();
        commands.add("telnet");
        commands.add("www.google.com");
        commands.add("80");
        ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(commands);
        pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
        try {

            Process prs = pb.start();
            Thread inThread = new Thread(new In(prs.getInputStream()));
            inThread.start();
            Thread.sleep(2000);
            OutputStream writeTo = prs.getOutputStream();
            writeTo.write("oops\n".getBytes());
            writeTo.flush();
            writeTo.close();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

class In implements Runnable {
    private InputStream is;

    public In(InputStream is) {
        this.is = is;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        byte[] b = new byte[1024];
        int size = 0;
        try {
            while ((size = is.read(b)) != -1) {
                System.err.println(new String(b));
            }
            is.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}

P.S.: Keep in mind this example is quick an dirty.

Are there any other alternatives that would allow calling the functions defined in the parent environment from Java?

Yes there is but you'll have to source the .bashrc file first.

BufferedReader in = null;
OutputStreamWriter out = null;
try {
  ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("/bin/bash").redirectErrorStream(true);
  Process p = pb.start();
  in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
  out = new OutputStreamWriter(p.getOutputStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
  out.write("source ~/.bashrc\n");
  out.write("sdkman\n");
  out.write("exit\n");
  out.flush();
  String str;
  while((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(str);
  }
  int response = p.waitFor();
  System.out.println("response: " + response);
  } catch(IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  } catch(InterruptedException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
  } finally {
      try { in.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
      try { out.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
  }
}

In think the problem is not that you cannot launch shell script with arguments, I was curious and I did a test

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    String[] command = {"/bin/bash", "test.sh", "Argument1"};
    ProcessBuilder p = new ProcessBuilder(command);
    Process p2 = p.start();
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p2.getInputStream()));
    String line;

    System.out.println("Output of running " + command + " is: ");
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
    }
}

here is the test.sh script

echo Hello im the script, here your args $@

Here the output

Output of running [Ljava.lang.String;@604e9f7f is: 
Hello im the script, here your args Argument1

What I think is just that your startRegression.sh exit with a non-0 status (aka it failed somewhere) and it have repercussion, runTemporaryTestSuite.sh will also exit with a non-zero status, and so on hence the message : Exit Value of p2 is 1

What I see right now,

SUITE_PATH="./" java -DconfigPath=${SUITE_PATH}/config.xml [..] the configPath will be .//config.xml so maybe you have a plain file not found issue? I might be wrong, hope it helped

In your case, you are reading something from the output stream of the process, till you consume everything. Then, you try to read error stream.

If the process writes some considerable number of characters on the error stream, the other process will block till they are consumed. To consume both error stream and output stream at the same time, you need to use threads.

You may follow the StreamGobbler technique. You may get some details from that page: https://www.javaworld.com/article/2071275/when-runtime-exec---won-t.html?page=2

This is some code influenced from the page:

public class StreamGobbler extends Thread {
    private static final String EOL = System.lineSeparator();
    private final InputStream inputStream;
    private final StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();

    public StreamGobbler(InputStream inputStream) {
        this.inputStream = inputStream;
    }

    public void run() {
        try (InputStreamReader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream);
             BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
        ) {
            String line;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                output.append(line);
                output.append(EOL);
            }
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public String getOutput() {
        return output.toString();
    }
}

In your code, you use StreamGobbler like this:

    StreamGobbler outputGobbler = new StreamGobbler(process.getInputStream());
    StreamGobbler errorGobbler = new StreamGobbler(process.getErrorStream());

    process.waitFor();

    String commandOutput = outputGobbler.getOutput();
    String errorMessage = errorGobbler.getOutput();
    process.destroy();

You can't execute the script directly since it has to be interpreted by a shell like bash. Note that bash is an executeable.

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder("/bin/bash", "/path/LicenseGen.sh");
