run - CLI command	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.

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

Option	Type	Description
--batch	boolean	Run task(s) in batches for executors which support batches (Default: false)
--configuration	string	This is the configuration to use when performing tasks on projects
--exclude	string	Exclude certain projects from being processed
--excludeTaskDependencies	boolean	Skips running dependent tasks first (Default: false)
--graph	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	boolean	Stop command execution after the first failed task (Default: false)
--nxIgnoreCycles	boolean	Ignore cycles in the task graph (Default: false)
--output-style	dynamic, static, stream, stream-without-prefixes, compact	Defines 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.
--parallel	string	Max number of parallel processes [default is 3]
--project	string	Target project
--runner	string	This is the name of the tasks runner configured in nx.json
--skipNxCache	boolean	Rerun the tasks even when the results are available in the cache (Default: false)
--verbose	boolean	Prints additional information about the commands (e.g., stack traces)
--version	boolean	Show version number
