run
Run a target for a project (e.g., nx run myapp:serve:production).
You can also use the infix notation to run a target: (e.g., nx serve myapp --configuration=production)
You can skip the use of Nx cache by using the --skip-nx-cache option.
Usage
❯
nx run [project][:target][:configuration] [_..]
Install nx globally to invoke the command directly using nx, or use npx nx, yarn nx, or pnpm nx.
Examples
Run the target build for the myapp project:
❯
nx run myapp:build
Run the target build for the myapp project, with production configuration:
❯
nx run myapp:build:production
Preview the task graph that Nx would run inside a webview:
❯
nx run myapp:build --graph
Save the task graph to a file:
❯
nx run myapp:build --graph=output.json
Print the task graph to the console:
❯
nx run myapp:build --graph=stdout
Run's a target named build:test for the myapp project. Note the quotes around the target name to prevent "test" from being considered a configuration:
❯
nx run myapp:"build:test"
Options
batch
Type: boolean
Default: false
Run task(s) in batches for executors which support batches
configuration
Type: string
This is the configuration to use when performing tasks on projects
exclude
Type: string
Exclude certain projects from being processed
excludeTaskDependencies
Type: boolean
Default: false
Skips running dependent tasks first
graph
Type: string
Show the task graph of the command. Pass a file path to save the graph data instead of viewing it in the browser. Pass "stdout" to print the results to the terminal.
nxBail
Type: boolean
Default: false
Stop command execution after the first failed task
nxIgnoreCycles
Type: boolean
Default: false
Ignore cycles in the task graph
output-style
Type: string
Choices: [dynamic, static, stream, stream-without-prefixes, compact]
Defines how Nx emits outputs tasks logs
| option | description |
|---|---|
| dynamic | use dynamic output life cycle, previous content is overwritten or modified as new outputs are added, display minimal logs by default, always show errors. This output format is recommended on your local development environments. |
| static | uses static output life cycle, no previous content is rewritten or modified as new outputs are added. This output format is recommened for CI environments. |
| stream | nx by default logs output to an internal output stream, enable this option to stream logs to stdout / stderr |
| stream-without-prefixes | nx prefixes the project name the target is running on, use this option remove the project name prefix from output |
parallel
Type: string
Max number of parallel processes [default is 3]
project
Type: string
Target project
runner
Type: string
This is the name of the tasks runner configured in nx.json
skipNxCache
Type: boolean
Default: false
Rerun the tasks even when the results are available in the cache
verbose
Type: boolean
Prints additional information about the commands (e.g., stack traces)
version
Type: boolean
Show version number
