run-many - CLI command	Run target for multiple listed projects.

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

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	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)
--output-style	dynamic, static, stream, stream-without-prefixes	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].
--projects	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	boolean	Rerun the tasks even when the results are available in the cache. (Default: false)
--skipSync	boolean	Skips running the sync generators associated with the tasks. (Default: false)
--targets	string	Tasks to run for affected projects.
--verbose	boolean	Prints additional information about the commands (e.g., stack traces).
--version	boolean	Show version number.
