doskey support in "Execute Windows batch command" option.

[Ankit Singhal]

Hi All

We have build script which sets a doskey for certain commands. 

Jenkins somehow is  not able to recognize doskey:

Problem is easily reproducible,

Script: foo.bat

====================

doskey d=dir

=======================

Jenkins : Execute Windows batch command

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

call foo.bat

d

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Failure output

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

C:\Code\workspace\Windows-Trunk\src>call foo.bat 

C:\Code\workspace\Windows-Trunk\src>doskey d=dir 

C:\Code\workspace\Windows-Trunk\src>d

'd' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

C:\Code\workspace\Windows-Trunk\src>exit 9009 

Build step 'Execute Windows batch command' marked build as failure

Finished: FAILURE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any idea why?

Regards

Ankit

Anyone??

AFAIK Jenkins will created a temporary batch file from the 'Execute Windows Commands' and just execute that and check the error level afterwards. The output is captured and becomes part of the build output. 

I don't think it is a matter of Jenkins recognizing the command.

Create a batch file with same commands and execute on command prompt to see the result. 

Anyone??

According to http://ss64.com/nt/doskey.html , "You cannot run a Doskey macro from a batch file"

I'm guessing it is because Doskey works with the command interpreter level which presumably isn't available in batch files.
