Automatically building Vue.js frontend app with webpack on google cloud build

So I'm trying out google cloud build, used it to create docker images and that's easy and fun, but I don't understand what do I do when what I want is a tar.gz of the 'dist' directory, resulting from running npm run build (which uses webpack).



Here's what I do to build locally:




  1. (pre-step) I have webpack installed globally (webpack is a binary accessible from $PATH)


  2. I run npm install --only=prod (installing dependencies required to build)


  3. I run npm run build -> that runs and if successful, it creates a directory named 'dist'


  4. I run tar to pack the dist folder to a single file, dist.tar.gz. and this is the end result of my build, which I would want in a bucket in gcp



I managed to figure out to run steps 1-3 in google could build, like so:



steps:
- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/npm'
args: ['install', '--only=prod']
- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/npm'
args: ['install', '-g', 'webpack']
- name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/npm'
args: ['install', 'run', 'build']
artifacts:
objects:
location: 'gs://my-bucket-name/'
paths: ['dist']


But I don't see anything in the documentation about running tar, and the above refuses to upload an entire directory.



Is this just something cloud build is not designed to do?
