tb build¶

Builds your project and checks that all the resources are valid.

Pass the --watch flag to watch for changes and rebuild the project automatically. When in watch mode you can run SQL queries against the project and also run commands.

Difference with tb deployment create¶

While similar, tb build and tb deployment create have different purposes:

• tb build command is a stateless command that checks that project datafiles are valid.
• tb deployment create --check checks that you can successfully create the deployment.

For example, when updating a data project in a workspace, tb build checks that the new version of your project is valid, while tb deployment create --check verifies that you can successfully migrate from the old version to the new one.
