Maestro Offline Build Tool Overview

   MaestroThe UI design product.  |   Form Builder Platform Developer |   20.11 This feature was updated in 20.11.

Journey Maestro comes with the Offline Build Tool, which is a command line interface (CLI) for building Maestro forms. This tool is a faster and more flexible alternative to building forms using the Maestro editor and it enables you to:

• Build one or all forms in a project with a single command
• Create a script to automate the form building process
• Integrate the form building process with your Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline
• Adapt Maestro development to your own workflow

The Offline Build Tool relies on Maestro Source Code Management (SCM) to clone a project and related libraries to your local file system before building forms. You can use this tool for both SCM and non-SCM (standard Maestro) projects.

The Offline Build Tool is especially handy when you need to build and deploy services using ANT tasks, such as app-package or app-deploy. These tasks may require a TM Form Version of a form to be locally available to a CI/CD pipeline, in order to succeed. You can easily achieve this by using one of the Maestro CLI tasks, for example, maestro build-form, which you add to a build script.
