Use windows batch script to create menu

Background

Recently, I find that we need  to  type some very long gradle commands to run build, check, test, etc. It's very annoying, isn't it?

Idea

Can I write a script to run the gradle commands? Is that easy? If so, I only need to type 2 or 3 charactors(like "go" or "go 1") in this way. Considering we are working with windows 7, so I choose windows batch script to make my dream come true. ^_^

Solution

　　Step 1: display a menu in the command line

 @echo off
 ::file name: go.bat
 ::##################Menu##################
 :menuLoop
 echo     Task List
 echo 1   Local build (clean build)
 echo 2   Quick check (clean check -x :integrationTest ...)
 echo 3   Intellij config (--refresh-dependencies cleanIdea idea)
 set choice=
 echo.&set /p choice=Choose one task or hit ENTER to quit: ||(goto :EOF)
 echo.&call :task_%choice%
 goto :EOF

 ::##################Tasks##################
 :task_1
 call gradle clean build
 goto :EOF

 :task_2
 call gradle clean check -x :integrationTest -x :coberturaIntegrationTest
 goto :EOF

 :task_3
 call gradle --refresh-dependencies cleanIdea idea
 goto :EOF

　　Step 2: accept one parameters

 ::#################Accept Parameters#################
 ::set option=%1
 if "%1" == "" (
     goto :menuLoop
 ) else (
     goto :task_%1
 )

　　Put this part before the menu codes, then it should work.

OK, now I only need to type "go 2" if I want to do a quick check on my project codes.

NOTE: some tasks in the batch script above were written based on our project requirements. You need to make some changes about the commands.
