pack without import

[bwmodular]

Hi @scottdurow, is it possible to perform a pack without the import? Sometimes you just want to check the viability of your solution before committing to the repository, without actually deploying to an environment. Is there a way to do this? I could only find the pack+import task combo.

Thanks, Ben

Well, I've kind of answered my own question, in as much as I've just created a new pack.bat file which just carries out the pack task. I think it might be useful to have this as one of the OOB batch files, but you may disagree... I think this is particularly useful if you want to test that your mappings have been set up correctly before you actually deploy your newly packed solution somewhere. Happy to go with my manual workaround if you think otherwise.

Good idea - I've found I've needed that bat too!

Hiya, if you do ever officially create a 'just pack, no import' option, would it be possible to not have to specify the environment into which we're not importing the solution? I looked through the source code to see if I could already do this but couldn't figure it out....
