run-many

Run target for multiple listed projects

Usage

nx run-many

Install nx globally to invoke the command directly using nx, or use npx nx, yarn nx, or pnpm nx.

Examples

Test all projects:

nx run-many -t test

Test proj1 and proj2 in parallel:

nx run-many -t test -p proj1 proj2

Test proj1 and proj2 in parallel using 5 workers:

nx run-many -t test -p proj1 proj2 --parallel=5

Test proj1 and proj2 in sequence:

nx run-many -t test -p proj1 proj2 --parallel=false

Test all projects ending with *-app except excluded-app. Note: your shell may require you to escape the * like this: \*:

nx run-many -t test --projects=*-app --exclude excluded-app

Test all projects with tags starting with api-. Note: your shell may require you to escape the * like this: \*:

nx run-many -t test --projects=tag:api-*

Test all projects with a type:ui tag:

nx run-many -t test --projects=tag:type:ui

Test all projects with a type:feature or type:ui tag:

nx run-many -t test --projects=tag:type:feature,tag:type:ui

Run lint, test, and build targets for all projects. Requires Nx v15.4+:

nx run-many --targets=lint,test,build

Preview the task graph that Nx would run inside a webview:

nx run-many -t=build --graph

Save the task graph to a file:

nx run-many -t=build --graph=output.json

Print the task graph to the console:

nx run-many -t=build --graph=stdout

Defines how Nx emits outputs tasks logs

optiondescription
dynamicuse 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.
staticuses static output life cycle, no previous content is rewritten or modified as new outputs are added. This output format is recommened for CI environments.
streamnx by default logs output to an internal output stream, enable this option to stream logs to stdout / stderr
stream-without-prefixesnx prefixes the project name the target is running on, use this option remove the project name prefix from output

parallel

Type: string

Projects to run. (comma/space delimited project names and/or patterns)

runner

Type: string

This is the name of the tasks runner configured in nx.json

skipNxCache

Type: boolean

Default: false
