nx run-many -t build test lint typecheck

You can pass a -p flag to filter to specific projects, otherwise it runs on all projects. You can also use --exclude to exclude projects, and --parallel to control the number of parallel processes (default is 3).

Examples:

  • nx run-many -t test -p proj1 proj2 — test specific projects
  • nx run-many -t test --projects=*-app --exclude=excluded-app — test projects matching a pattern
  • nx run-many -t test --projects=tag:api-* — test projects by tag

Run tasks for affected projects

Use nx affected to only run tasks on projects that have been changed and projects that depend on changed projects. This is especially useful in CI and for large workspaces.

nx affected -t build test lint

By default it compares against the base branch. You can customize this:

  • nx affected -t test --base=main --head=HEAD — compare against a specific base and head
  • nx affected -t test --files=libs/mylib/src/index.ts — specify changed files directly

Useful flags

These flags work with run, run-many, and affected:

  • --skipNxCache — rerun tasks even when results are cached
  • --verbose — print additional information such as stack traces
  • --nxBail — stop execution after the first failed task
  • --configuration=<name> — use a specific configuration (e.g. production)
