affected

Run target for affected projects.

Usage

nx affected

Install nx globally to invoke the command directly using nx, or use npx nx, yarn nx, or pnpm nx.

Examples

Run custom target for all affected projects:

nx affected -t custom-target

Run tests in parallel:

nx affected -t test --parallel=5

Run lint, test, and build targets for affected projects. Requires Nx v15.4+:

nx affected -t lint test build

Run tests for all the projects affected by changing the index.ts file:

nx affected -t test --files=libs/mylib/src/index.ts

Run tests for all the projects affected by the changes between main and HEAD (e.g., PR):

nx affected -t test --base=main --head=HEAD

Run tests for all the projects affected by the last commit on main:

nx affected -t test --base=main~1 --head=main

Run build for only projects with the tag dotnet:

nx affected -t=build --exclude='*,!tag:dotnet'

Use the currently executing project name in your command:

nx affected -t build --tag=$NX_TASK_TARGET_PROJECT:latest

Preview the task graph that Nx would run inside a webview:

nx affected -t=build --graph

Save the task graph to a file:

nx affected -t=build --graph=output.json

Print the task graph to the console:

nx affected -t=build --graph=stdout

Options

OptionTypeDescription
--allbooleanDeprecated: Use nx run-many instead
--basestringBase of the current branch (usually main).
--batchbooleanRun task(s) in batches for executors which support batches. (Default: false)
--configurationstringThis is the configuration to use when performing tasks on projects.
--excludestringExclude certain projects from being processed.
--excludeTaskDependenciesbooleanSkips running dependent tasks first. (Default: false)
--filesstringChange the way Nx is calculating the affected command by providing directly changed files, list of files delimited by commas or spaces.
--graphstringShow 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.
--headstringLatest commit of the current branch (usually HEAD).
--helpbooleanShow help.
--nxBailbooleanStop command execution after the first failed task. (Default: false)
--nxIgnoreCyclesbooleanIgnore cycles in the task graph. (Default: false)
--output-styledynamic, static, stream, stream-without-prefixesDefines 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.
--parallelstringMax number of parallel processes [default is 3].
--runnerstringThis is the name of the tasks runner configured in nx.json.
--skipNxCachebooleanRerun the tasks even when the results are available in the cache. (Default: false)
--skipSyncbooleanSkips running the sync generators associated with the tasks. (Default: false)
--targetsstringTasks to run for affected projects.
--uncommittedbooleanUncommitted changes.
--untrackedbooleanUntracked changes.
--verbosebooleanPrints additional information about the commands (e.g., stack traces).
--versionbooleanShow version number.
