batch
)The batch
command is a legacy command that is used to run tests from the command line or as part of a build process. If a task command is not included in the command line, the JavaTest harness begins running tests automatically. The batch
command has been superceeded by the runTests
command.
The batch
command is also used in the command line to close the JavaTest harness when all commands have been processed. If the batch
command is used, the JavaTest harness GUI will not start unless explicitly started by another commands in the command string.
If the GUI is started in batch mode (such as by using the monitorAgent
command), the JavaTest harness displays a dialog after all commands are executed that allows the user to cancel the automatic shutdown and to use the JavaTest harness GUI in normal mode.
In its legacy format, the batch
command was required to precede
the other commands. In the present format, the batch
command can
be specified in any location on the command line.
> javatest ... -batch
... [Setup commands] ... [task command] ...
