--- title: 'run-many - CLI command' description: 'Run target for multiple listed projects.' --- # run-many Run target for multiple listed projects. ## Usage ```shell 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: ```shell nx run-many -t test ``` Test proj1 and proj2 in parallel: ```shell nx run-many -t test -p proj1 proj2 ``` Test proj1 and proj2 in parallel using 5 workers: ```shell nx run-many -t test -p proj1 proj2 --parallel=5 ``` Test proj1 and proj2 in sequence: ```shell 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: `\*`: ```shell 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: `\*`: ```shell nx run-many -t test --projects=tag:api-* ``` Test all projects with a `type:ui` tag: ```shell nx run-many -t test --projects=tag:type:ui ``` Test all projects with a `type:feature` or `type:ui` tag: ```shell 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+: ```shell nx run-many --targets=lint,test,build ``` Preview the task graph that Nx would run inside a webview: ```shell nx run-many -t=build --graph ``` Save the task graph to a file: ```shell nx run-many -t=build --graph=output.json ``` Print the task graph to the console: ```shell nx run-many -t=build --graph=stdout ``` ## Options | Option | Type | Description | | ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `--all` | boolean | [deprecated] `run-many` runs all targets on all projects in the workspace if no projects are provided. This option is no longer required. (Default: `true`) | | `--batch` | boolean | Run task(s) in batches for executors which support batches. (Default: `false`) | | `--configuration`, `--c` | 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. | | `--help` | boolean | Show help. | | `--nxBail` | boolean | Stop command execution after the first failed task. (Default: `false`) | | `--nxIgnoreCycles` | boolean | Ignore cycles in the task graph. (Default: `false`) | | `--outputStyle` | `dynamic-legacy`, `dynamic`, `tui`, `static`, `stream`, `stream-without-prefixes` | Defines how Nx emits outputs tasks logs. **tui**: enables the Nx Terminal UI, recommended for local development environments. **dynamic-legacy**: use dynamic-legacy 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 for local development environments where tui is not supported. **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]. | | `--projects`, `--p` | string | Projects to run. (comma/space delimited project names and/or patterns). | | `--runner` | string | This is the name of the tasks runner configured in nx.json. | | `--skipNxCache`, `--disableNxCache` | boolean | Rerun the tasks even when the results are available in the cache. (Default: `false`) | | `--skipRemoteCache`, `--disableRemoteCache` | boolean | Disables the remote cache. (Default: `false`) | | `--skipSync` | boolean | Skips running the sync generators associated with the tasks. (Default: `false`) | | `--targets`, `--target`, `--t` | string | Tasks to run for affected projects. | | `--tuiAutoExit` | string | Whether or not to exit the TUI automatically after all tasks finish, and after how long. If set to `true`, the TUI will exit immediately. If set to `false` the TUI will not automatically exit. If set to a number, an interruptible countdown popup will be shown for that many seconds before the TUI exits. | | `--verbose` | boolean | Prints additional information about the commands (e.g., stack traces). | | `--version` | boolean | Show version number. |
