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

OptionTypeDescription
--batchbooleanRun task(s) in batches for executors which support batches. (Default: false)
--configurationstringThis is the configuration to use when performing tasks on projects.
--excludestringExclude certain projects from being processed.
--excludeTaskDependenciesbooleanSkips running dependent tasks first. (Default: false)
--graphstringShow 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.
--nxBailbooleanStop command execution after the first failed task. (Default: false)
--nxIgnoreCyclesbooleanIgnore cycles in the task graph. (Default: false)
--output-styledynamic, static, stream, stream-without-prefixes, compactDefines how Nx emits outputs tasks logs. 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.
--parallelstringMax number of parallel processes [default is 3].
--projectstringTarget project.
--runnerstringThis is the name of the tasks runner configured in nx.json.
--skipNxCachebooleanRerun the tasks even when the results are available in the cache. (Default: false)
--skipSyncbooleanSkips running the sync generators associated with the tasks. (Default: false)
--verbosebooleanPrints additional information about the commands (e.g., stack traces).
--versionbooleanShow version number.
