build-library

Builds the specified library into a binary.

To build a library from the CLI, use the following syntax: 

        
          gwebcli.exe build-library -p <relative or absolute location of the project> -n <name of the library> -t

For example: 

        
          gwebcli.exe build-library -p "C:\G Web Projects\Project.gwebproject" -n "Library.gcomp" -t
Note To use the build-library operation, the build machine must have the G Web Development Features for TestStand licenses.
The following table lists the available arguments for this operation.
