Cloud CLI: Local Command

Execute mcloud local build to run a Cloud build on the local machine, mirroring how Cloud builds the project. Use it to debug build-failed deployments without pushing changes and waiting for a full Cloud build.

Constraints

• No --json flag. local build streams plaintext build output and signals the result through its exit code (0 = success). Do not parse its output as JSON.
• Requires Docker installed and running, and must run from inside the project's Git repository.
• Reproduces build-failed (build) failures only — not deployment-failed (runtime) failures. For runtime failures, use mcloud logs --deployment <id>.
• Available since mcloud CLI v0.1.10.
• The Docker build cache is disabled by default so variable changes always invalidate the cache; pass --docker-cache to enable it.

Command

local build

Run a Cloud build locally. Infers the root path and build variables from the linked Cloud project and environment. Builds the backend by default; pass --type storefront for the storefront.
