rsbuild dev build / check

[RossSmyth]

Hello,
One thing that I like for my CI process is a quick development build as a sanity check to ensure my projects build. A full build with rsbuild build takes a long time, a lot of time is spent on optimizations from wasm modules and minifying. Starting a dev server is fairly quick.

Basically, all I would like to do is only run the build portion of a dev sever, but not actually start a dev server in my CI. Poking around I have not seen that to be possible though. rsbuild dev seems to unconditionally start a server. I do not see options for making rsbuild build run with lowest optimization settings. Can someone help me verify if what I'm seeing if correct, or if I'm missing something?

Hi, you can try this:

npx rsbuild build --mode development

See: https://rsbuild.dev/config/mode

That is what I have tried, but it is not the same. rsbuild build --mode development takes around 2 minutes and thirty seconds to run on my machine, while rsbuild dev finishes in around 40 seconds. I am trying to minimize CI time so that's a pretty big difference to me.
