Aspire deploy query, can you specify which project(s) to deploy

[Matthew Paul (mip1983)]

Hi there, I'm trying out the aspire cli and deploy. It's something I've wanted to look at, but now hit a wall with azd complaining about more than 64 outputs in main.bicep at the provisioning step, I'm seeing if it's gets around that.

Is there a way with aspire deploy to tell it a specific project or projects to provision? Not AppHost project, but like with azd you could say like 'azd deploy my-api' and it would just do that one, I can't see a way to do that with the aspire deploy command?

It unfortunately can take 30-40 mins to do a build on a blazor web app with wasm/aot, and I've got a number of web projects, so don't really want to deploy everything + sink if I just want to update a function app.

Hi, I have a build argument I would like to pass in to Aspire for a ASP.NET project.
This build argument (for the sake of the argument let's call it /p:DONOTDISTURB), will be tied to a build constant, so that I can turn off certain parts of the code using #if / #endif preprocessor directives.
However, I see no way of pushing this build argument in the Aspire AppHost?
Reviewing the code it doesn't seem possible. Is this something you have thought about adding?

Thanks!

Answer in case anyone lands here: Yes you can with 'aspire do. You can execute any particular pipeline stage.

Find out what your stages are:

aspire do diagnostics

Execute a stage:

aspire do deploy-my-api
