I'm writing my own simple system allowing me to automatically sign APKs before they are uploaded to GPlay. I've got a batch file that does the signing; and a "wrapper" batch file, the content of which will be run on the command line by Jenkins post-build.
sign_apks.bat:
@echo off
set /p job= "Enter job name: "
set /p alias= "Enter key alias: "
set /p mobile= "Sign mobile? (y/n): "
set /p wear= "Sign wear? (y/n): "
echo.
echo "%job%"
echo "%alias%"
echo "%mobile%"
echo "%wear%"
[the rest of the code is sensitive so is emitted, but these variables are used later]
wrapper code:
@echo off
(echo test
echo test
echo y
echo y)| call sign_apks.bat
This article showed me how to pipe values into a program. To quote from the answer,:
Multiple lines can be entered like so:
(echo y
echo n) | executable.exe
...which will pass first 'y' then 'n'.
However, this doesn't work. This is the output I get when running the wrapper code:
Enter job name: Enter key alias: Sign mobile? (y/n): Sign wear? (y/n):
"test "
""
""
""
Help?
You know, the easiest solution would be to supply job, alias, mobile, and wear as script arguments rather than trying to pipe them into stdin. You can still set /p if not defined, if you wish to run interactively without arguments.
@echo off
setlocal
set "job=%~1"
set "alias=%~2"
set "mobile=%~3"
set "wear=%~4"
if not defined job set /p "job=Enter job name: "
if not defined alias set /p "alias=Enter key alias: "
if not defined mobile set /p "mobile=Sign mobile? (y/n): "
if not defined wear set /p "wear=Sign wear? (y/n): "
echo.
echo "%job%"
echo "%alias%"
echo "%mobile%"
echo "%wear%"
Then when you call sign_apks.bat, just call it like this:
call sign_apks.bat test test y y
