Can i just compile without deploying?

[schosterbarak]

One example I can think of is

1. Compile to cdktf
2. Scan with policy as code tool (checkov/OPA/KICKS/ other)
3. If scan step is passing then deploy with wing

[skorfmann]

Yes, good point - that's missing right now. There should probably be the following actions:

• compile
• test
• destroy

Haven't tried it yet, but potentially the validate hook could be used for this as well without an explicit Github Action step.

where are the compiled artifacts saved? whats the directory path?

@schosterbarak The artifacts are saved to the target directory next to your code. For example, if you compile an app named "my-app" to the "tf-aws" target, your deployment artifacts will be inside target/example.tfaws/. I'll take note to add this to our docs.
