I am trying to create a batch file, to launch my app with one click on Windows. I have:
cd "C:\Users\<project_dir>"
venv\scripts\activate
python __init__.py
start /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\" chrome.exe localhost:5000
Problem 1: Although venv\scripts\activate works manually, it does not work in the batch file (I've also tried start /d).
Problem 2: launching the Flask server with python __init__.py causes the batch script to pause, so that the browser is never launched.
This should work:
cd "C:\Users\<project_dir>"
start venv\scripts\python __init__.py
start /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\" chrome.exe localhost:5000
I have addressed your problem #1 by using the virtual environment directly, without activating it. You can also do call venv\scripts\activate and then invoke your script with start python __init__.py.
The problem #2 is solved by running the server via start so that it spawns a new process.

I have a react application and I start it with the following .bat file:
cd..
cd projects
cd material
cd server
npm run dev
When the script runs, it opens cmd, and runs my app, which shows up in chrome.
I searched the whole day, but I didn't find anything for killing the program and closing the batch file by closing the browser.
Is there any way to do this, at all?
Did you try? Just put it last line on your bat file.
exit
I'm just exploring batch files to avoid unnecessary typing. First, I set up the localhost server, then attempt to open the browser to access the local server. The batch file opens and starts the server, but then stops there. (it doesn't perform the open browser command) batch file looks like this:
cd C:\directory
py -m http.server
start /max http://localhost:8000
what am i missing?
The Problem
The problem is that once you start the python server, it keeps running, not stopping to run the open browser command.
The Solution
So you have to run the open browser command before the python server command.
Example
Like this:
cd C:\directory
start /max http://localhost:8000
py -m http.server
The issue
I am trying to create a batch file that will execute the following two commands:
cd /some/path
dotnet run
that produces the following output:
It starts my localhost server.
Trying To Accomplish
What I would like to do is, put those two commands in a batch file and automatically open Chrome to the server address, HOWEVER, the dotnet command takes some time to finish. So somehow, I would have to keep monitoring localhost to see if it is available.
Any help would be appreciated. Although opening a CMD window, typing those 2 commands, and waiting a minute isn't all that much of a problem, it sure would be nice to just click on a batch file.
Thank you.
You can create a batch file like this code :
#echo off
Set "ApplicationPath=%UserProfile%\source\repos\PruttPos\PruttPosSystem\"
CD /D "%ApplicationPath%"
dotnet run
Start "Chrome" Chrome.exe "http://localhost:5000"
pause
I am trying to launch an Android emulator from a batch file inside my build definition, with the next command:
start /WAIT "Start Emulator" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Emulator Manager\1.0\emulatorcmd.exe" launch /sku:Android /id:97522427-7A5E-4F3B-96A8-B9F9F0C0423A
I tried to add the build step as a command line, and a batch script.
Problem: The script is working right, and opening the emulator and wait for it to fully open, but once script finishes executing and console closes, the emulator is closing as well.
I tried to run the script directly on build server, and it works fine without closing emulator, but when queued as a build step, I am facing the above problem.
Question: How can I force the emulator to stay open after batch file finishes executing?
EDIT:
It looks like the build definition task terminates all processes it created in the defined step, I have tried multiple script, tried cmd /k and tried the /b and tried to create another batch file that actually calls this one or start it, yet no results. I am still waiting for any possible solution.
Alright, I tried a lot of scripts in batch files, and I tried to run it from command line, after a lot of time waste and getting tired, I decided to give PowerShell task a try to fix my problem. I ended up with this:
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Emulator Manager\1.0\emulatorcmd.exe" -ArgumentList "launch /sku:Android /id:97522427-7A5E-4F3B-96A8-B9F9F0C0423A" -Verb runas
Start-Sleep -s 60
This made the emulator start, and stays running even after PowerShell script ends.
I am trying to run this command in jenkins after a MSbuild
xcopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\trunk\Projects\results\results\obj\Debug\Package\PackageTmp" "Y:\Extraction_Zone\Jenkins\" /E
Y: is a mapped network drive. This runs fine in cmd.exe but when trying to run it in Jenkins, I am getting the error Invalid drive specification.
Here is the output from jenkins:
Time Elapsed 00:00:04.03
[trunk] $ cmd /c call C:\Windows\TEMP\hudson3389873107474371072.bat

Invalid drive specification

C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\trunk>exit 4

Any help would be appreciated.
I too had a similar issue once. Try granting the Jenkins service "Logon as This account" right under services.msc and make sure the account you type there is the same as the one you use for running cmd.exe.
These commands based on Java JAR files worked for me:
cmd
net use x: \\
xcopy "dist\" x:\ /Y
And that's it! I spent lot of time figure out this issue and nothing worked until I wrote CMD and NET USE!
Neither I didn't need to change permission on jenkins service nor use runas command.
But I must mention that everyone had read and write access to the network drive.
I had the same issue with my Windows Task running a batch file (I know it is not exactly same) where I tried to copy file to network location i.e. shared drive. I used the UNC path and mapped drive as well but the error was same. For me it was error number 4 - MS DOS error code.
The solution was to use net use command! Hope that it helps.
Easy fix for most things.
Make a batch command with what your trying to run, filename.bat with the command prompt text inside.
Make a normal windows shortcut for the batch command, edit the shortcuts advanced properties and check the "Run as admin" (tricky tricky).
Now run the filename.lnk shortcut from jenkins command line call, this will get you around all the jazz.

The solution of adarshr (i.e., modifying the log on credentials of the service) has worked for me for a part of the problem: in my case, this allowed me to successfully check out a mercurial repository (using ssh protocol), which I could not do when using 'Local System account'.
However, I still have different behavior between running a command-line script or running the same script from a jenkins 'execute shell' script in the build section. In my case, I compile a Python extension. In Jenkins, I cannot import the extension (I don't see any error, but the execution simply stops, so I suspect it crashes).
If I uninstall the service and run the slave agent as a Java Web Start, I do get the same behavoir. It is a temporary fix for me, but it means that when I reboot the windows build machine, I have to manually re-start the Java Web Start application.
So -at least in my case- it is clear that this is a credential problem.

I've solved my issue with the CIFS plugin.
Faced similar issue and found two ways to solve.
Type 1:
Tell Jenkins about mapped drive.
1.Goto -> Manage Jenkins -> Script Console (Groovy Script).
2.Run below command
def mapdrive = "net use Y: \\\\copy_nework_address"
mapdrive.execute();
println "net use".execute().getText()
Type:2
1.Goto -> cmd -> run "net use" to know network address
xcopy "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\workspace\trunk\Projects\results\results\obj\Debug\Package\PackageTmp" "Copy_Network_Address\Extraction_Zone\Jenkins\" /E
Conclusion:- I prefer 2nd types as after every restart i should run Groovy Script.
