Check multiple subdirectories

I have a project with multiple subdirectories which I all want to check in turn. Actually, these directories are a bit outdated version of branches which I have to keep for various reasons.

In my main folder I have the subdirectories patch and pkg and want to check both. I tried to use the following script to achieve this.

environment:
  matrix:
  - TEST_DIR: patch/
  - TEST_DIR: pkg/

before_build:
  - ps: echo %TEST_DIR%
  - ps: cd %TEST_DIR%

build_script:
  - travis-tool.sh install_deps

I also used $TEST_DIR and also had the lines

  - ps: echo %TEST_DIR%
  - ps: cd %TEST_DIR%

in build_script just before - travis-tool.sh install_deps. None of this was working.

When I use echo %TEST_DIR% it echos %TEST_DIR% and with echo $TEST_DIR nothing is echoed, i.e., the string seems to be empty. Any clues?

---

In Travis-CI I can use

## test multiple directories 
## (see https://lord.io/blog/2014/travis-multiple-subdirs/)
env:
 - TEST_DIR=patch/
 - TEST_DIR=pkg/

language: r
sudo: required

## change directory before installation 
## as R packages are not available elsewise
before_install:
  - cd $TEST_DIR

which works like a charm.

   It should be:

   before_build:
     - echo %TEST_DIR%
     - cd %TEST_DIR%

   Thanks, Feodor. That works.

   Yet, now I cannot find the build script itself anymore:

   echo %TEST_DIR%
   patch/
   cd %TEST_DIR%
   travis-tool.sh install_deps
   'travis-tool.sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
   operable program or batch file.
   Command exited with code 1
   travis-tool.sh dump_logs
   'travis-tool.sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
   operable program or batch file.
   Command exited with code 1
   

   Do I need to change the working directory at another point in the script? Please see my complete script here:

   Well, I guess you can't run .sh script "as is" on Windows.

   Well, actually this script works well for other projects. So this can't be an issue. See e.g. https://github.com/hofnerb/stabs

   The script simply wasn't in the right place. I needed to copy it. This worked:

   environment:
     matrix:
     - TEST_DIR: patch
     - TEST_DIR: pkg
   
   before_build:
     - cp ..\travis-tool.sh .\travis-tool.sh
     - cp travis-tool.sh.cmd %TEST_DIR%\travis-tool.sh.cmd
     - cd %TEST_DIR%
     - bash -c "echo '^travis-tool\.sh\.cmd$' >> .Rbuildignore"
