SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the execution of various tasks within an Nx workspace, such as building, testing, linting, and serving projects, by providing a standardized interface to Nx commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Execution: Run single or multiple tasks across projects in an Nx workspace.
  • Affected Commands: Efficiently run tasks only on projects that have been changed or depend on changed projects, ideal for CI/CD pipelines.
  • Configuration & Filtering: Supports filtering tasks by project, tags, and custom configurations, with options for parallel execution and error handling.

Quick Start

Use the nx-run-tasks skill to run the 'build' and 'test' tasks on all projects in the Nx workspace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run build and test tasks for affected projects in an Nx workspace?

Run affected tasks in an Nx workspace by executing commands that target only changed projects and their dependents. This optimizes CI pipelines by skipping unaffected projects during build and test operations.

Can I execute multiple Nx workspace tasks in parallel?

Yes, you can execute multiple tasks in an Nx workspace simultaneously. The task execution supports parallelization flags, allowing you to run builds, tests, and lint operations across projects concurrently to save time.

How do I filter Nx tasks by project tags and custom configurations?

Filter Nx tasks by applying project tags and custom configurations during task execution. This allows you to target specific subsets of projects within the workspace for building, testing, or linting based on defined criteria.

Does Nx workspace task execution support caching for repeated builds and tests?

Nx workspace task execution supports caching flags to store and reuse build and test outputs. When enabled, repeated task runs retrieve cached results instead of reprocessing, significantly speeding up local development and CI workflows.

What are inferred tasks from Nx plugins and how do they execute?

Inferred tasks are automatically generated by Nx plugins based on detected project configurations. The execution interface integrates with these plugins to run the inferred build, test, and lint operations without requiring explicit task definitions.
