title: How to let gradlew.bat automatically run tasks?
body: <p>I was wondering if it is possible to tell the gradlew.bat of the Gradle Wrapper to automatically run tasks like "test" or "jacocoTestReport".</p>
  
  <p>I tried doing that by putting lines like "gradle test" in the execute area of the gradlew.bat. It told me then that "gradle" is not a known command?</p>
  
  <p>Sidequestion: I created with the gradle wrapper the 4 files (2 scripts, 1 jar, 1 properties-file). I sent the 4 files on a diffrent computer that doesnt know gradle at all and execute the gradlew.bat. It says build successful but all it did was creating an empty .gradle folder? Is that what is supposed to happen? The lack of documentation makes it really hard. I did read a lot of official gradle documentation though. But its only helping a little bit. I also googled a bunch.</p>
  
  <p>I use the very default gradlew.bat file. </p>
