Windows command line not executing multiple commands

I am building a visual studio project through command line for that I need to run multiple commands at once.So I am created a batch file which includes all the commands.When I run the batch file only first command is executed.My batch file is given below

test.bat

C:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build 
vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64
devenv D:\Jenkins\cpputest-master\cpputest-master\CppUTest.sln /Build
D:
cd D:\Jenkins\cpputest-master\cpputest-master\cpputest_build
mv AllTests.exe D:\Jenkins\jenkinsHome\workspace\TestCppUTest
cd D:\Jenkins\jenkinsHome\workspace\TestCppUTest
AllTests.exe -ojunit

When I run this batch file first three commands are executed,fourth command is not executed.But if I run these commands using && all the commands are executed.Any suggestions??

Solution

  • If you call a batch file from within a batch file, you need to use call otherwise your calling batch file will be terminated.

    So instead of 

    vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64

    you need to use: 

    call vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64

    If devenv is also a batch file, then it needs to be replaced with call devenv as well.
