Run `flutter clean` command on each project in a directory-CodePudding

As a Flutter developer, I've been working on many projects. I have to work on all of them occasionally. Now those projects lie in a single directory occupying 30 GB on my drive. It'd be a good idea to have the project's build-cache deleted to save some space. So I figured to write a script that would loop through each of them and run flutter clean inside every folder instead of running the command manually under each project's root.

After Google and StackOverflow search I came up with a command :

for /D %G in ("D:\MyProjects\*") do flutter clean "%~fG"

Well this command executes the flutter clean command for each folder like:

C:\Users\vipin>flutter clean "D:\MyProjects\Project1"
C:\Users\vipin>flutter clean "D:\MyProjects\Project2"
C:\Users\vipin>flutter clean "D:\MyProjects\Project3"
C:\Users\vipin>flutter clean "D:\MyProjects\Project4"

This should have worked since the command states to run flutter clean for each folder as it looked. Unfortunately, it didn't and threw error:

C:\Users\vipin>flutter clean "D:\MyProjects\Project1"
Error: No pubspec.yaml file found.
This command should be run from the root of your Flutter project.

C:\Users\vipin>flutter clean "D:\MyProjects\Project2"
Error: No pubspec.yaml file found.
This command should be run from the root of your Flutter project.

C:\Users\vipin>flutter clean "D:\MyProjects\Project3"
Error: No pubspec.yaml file found.
This command should be run from the root of your Flutter project.

C:\Users\vipin>flutter clean "D:\MyProjects\Project4"
Error: No pubspec.yaml file found.
This command should be run from the root of your Flutter project.
...

Well, the pubspec.yaml files are very much present in each folder and I figured that the flutter clean command demands your prompt pointing to Project's ROOT, like below to do the job:

D:\Myprojects\Project1>flutter clean

Now I'm looking for a command/script anything to move the command's prompt to each project's root and execute the command.

CodePudding user response：

Glad you asked. I had the same thought about doing it to my list of projects. The below command will do exactly what you expect. Make sure to run this from D:\MyProjects

for /d %i in (D:\MyProjects\*) do ( cd "%i" & flutter clean )
