Bulk Folder Runner - Batch Script

README.md

If you want to run this and capture the results to a log file, you should make sure to also capture stderr. You can use something like:

./bulk_folder_runner.bat > log.txt 2>&1

If running via Task Scheduler, please note that Task Scheduler does not properly record exit error codes.

bulk_folder_runner.bat

@echo off

@REM # Have the below variable point to a plain text file that contains a list of folder that this script should run `node index.js` in, separated by line breaks
@REM # The folder paths can be relateive or absolute paths
SET FOLDERS_LIST_FILE=.\folders.txt

@REM # Set this to 1 if you want this script to stop completely if any run of `index.js` fails (throws exception)
SET STOP_ON_ERROR=0

SET START_DIR="%cd%"
for /f "tokens=*" %%p in (%FOLDERS_LIST_FILE%) do (
