Magento 2.2.2 deploy specific theme

Question

I've started to use magento 2.2.2 and I've noticed that running static content deploy for a specific theme (using -t flag) is no more working. All themes are deployed instead of the requested one only. Am I wrong or is a M2.2 issue?

Answer 1

Yes,you can do static content deploy to specific theme.

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy --theme {yourTheme}

Example if you want static content deploy for luma theme then use

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy --theme Magento/luma

If you want to do static content deploy at developer/default mode then you need to add suffix -f

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy --theme {yourTheme} -f
