sasjs bd

sasjs bd is two commands in one:

1. sasjs build - collates the compiled services into a deployable build pack
2. sasjs deploy - deploys that pack to the target

builddeploy is the long form of the same command.

When to use it, and when not to

The difference from sasjs cbd is the compile step.

	what it runs
sasjs cbd	compile -> build -> deploy - always recompiles every service from source
sasjs bd	build -> deploy - ships the compiled services already in the build folder

So bd is the tight loop: change one service, compile that service, ship it. cbd is the safe loop: rebuild everything from source, then ship. If you have any doubt that the build folder matches your source, use cbd.

build compiles on its own if the build folder is missing, so sasjs bd in a clean checkout is not an error - it simply compiles first.

Syntax

sasjs bd [options]

Option	Alias	Description
--target	-t	The target whose configuration drives both steps. Defaults to the defaultTarget in sasjsconfig.json.

Examples

# build and deploy to the default target
sasjs bd

# build and deploy to a named target
sasjs bd -t myViyaTarget

# compile one service, then ship it
sasjs compile service --source sasjs/services/common/load.sas -t myViyaTarget
sasjs bd -t myViyaTarget

Exit codes

Code	Meaning
0	Built and deployed
1	The build failed - deploy does not run, and the build error is the one printed
1	The build succeeded and the deploy failed - the deploy error is the one printed

A failed build never deploys a partial pack.
