d:/soapui/projects/path/a.xml, b.xml etc
Will be there any Gradle script that it will enter into the above mentioned location and execute the each project one by one using testrunner.bat

As #RaGe comments you can use the gradle SOAPUI plugin. However if you're looking for a more custom way you can proceed as follows.
You can generate a task on Gradle to execute testrunner to run your SOAPUI projects. Then you can create dynamically one task for each project you've in a directory path, and using .depends you can make that all these dynamic generated tasks are called when you call the specific task.
Your build.gradle could be something like:
// task to execute testrunner
class SoapUITask extends Exec {
String soapUIExecutable = '/SOAPUI_HOME/bin/testrunner.bat'
String soapUIArgs = ''
public SoapUITask(){
super()
this.setExecutable(soapUIExecutable)
}
public void setSoapUIArgs(String soapUIArgs) {
this.args = "$soapUIArgs".trim().split(" ") as List
}
}
// empty task wich has depends to execute the
// ohter tasks
task executeSOAPUI(){
}
// get the path where are your projects
def projectsDir = new File(project.properties['soapuiProjectsPath'])
// create tasks dynamically for each project file
projectsDir.eachFile{ file ->
if(file.name.contains('.xml')){
// create the tasks
task "executeSOAPUI${file.name}"(type: SoapUITask){
println "execute project ${file.name}"
soapUIArgs = ' "' + file.getAbsolutePath() +'"'
}
// make the depends to avoid invoke each task one by one
executeSOAPUI.dependsOn "executeSOAPUI${file.name}"
}
}
To invoke this you can do it using the follow command:
gradle executeSOAPUI -PsoapuiProjectsPath=d:/soapui/projects/path/
Note that -P is used to pass the parameter for projects dir.
Recently I wrote an answer on how to write gradle task to run SOAPUI which can be also util, if you want check more details here.
Hope this helps,
