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

[deprecated] run-many runs all targets on all projects in the workspace if no projects are provided. This option is no longer required.
batch
Type: boolean

Run task(s) in batches for executors which support batches
configuration
Type: string
This is the configuration to use when performing tasks on projects
exclude
Type: string

output-style
Type: string
Choices: [dynamic, static, stream, stream-without-prefixes]
Defines how Nx emits outputs tasks logs
| option | description |
|---|---|
| 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
Type: string
Max number of parallel processes [default is 3]
projects
Type: string
Projects to run. (comma/space delimited project names and/or patterns)
runner
Type: string

skipNxCache
Type: boolean
Default: false
Rerun the tasks even when the results are available in the cache
targets
Type: string
Tasks to run for affected projects
verbose
Type: boolean
Prints additional information about the commands (e.g., stack traces)
version
Type: boolean
Show version number
