Forge CLI: Inspect application bundles with the new --inspect option

What's changing

The Forge CLI build and deploy commands now include a new --inspect option. This option copies the Forge application bundle, as packaged for Atlassian infrastructure, into your local .forge/inspect directory.

You can use this to:

• Investigate the final structure of your application before it is deployed.
• Troubleshoot bundling issues or unexpected behavior in the deployed app.

This new option replaces the undocumented FORGE_INSPECT_ARCHIVE environment variable, which is now deprecated and will no longer function.

What you need to do

To inspect your application bundle, run either of the following commands:

• forge build --inspect
• forge deploy --inspect

After the command completes, you can find the packaged application files in the .forge/inspect directory within your project.
