Using command line to build robotic assets

General

we are in the process of developing DevOps pipeline(s) for building/deploying Pega v22 robotic solutions. I have found in the documentation command line builds for solutions, but not the same for building assets. I can see in the user interface the option for deploying a regular build, and optionally an asset.

But when it comes to the command line option I only see the deployment options. What options can I specify to create an asset file (ie: abc.pegaAsset vs abc.pega)?

Below is the help options I see from the command line utility



C:\Pegasystems\Pega Robot Studio v22>pega.deploy.exe /?
Pega.Deploy 22.1.0.0
c Pegasystems Inc. All rights reserved.



ERROR(S):
Required option ‘p, project’ is missing.



-p, --project Required. Full path to project file.



-o, --outputDir Output directory.



-d, --deployFile Name of deployment package file to create.

@RobIsTheNameCurrently, assets are not able to be built from the command line. If this is functionality that you feel you need, please let your Pega contacts know to get this added as a feature request.

@ThomasSasnett thanks for the info… We’ll take a look at raising a feature request. In the meantime, can you confirm the only “real” difference between an asset deployment and normal is a line in the manifest file saying:

“PackageType”: “ProjectAsset”,

@RobIsTheNameI do not see that documented anywhere, so I can’t really speculate.
