Run just the task
Skip the dependency chain when you know it is already built.
Most runs should build what a task depends on first. Sometimes you know better: the upstream packages are built and you only want the test you are fixing.
--exclude-dependencies drops every dependsOn edge, so just the task you asked for runs. Give it names to drop only those edges and keep the rest.
// try it
vx run test --filter @demo/web --exclude-dependencies
vx run test --all --exclude-dependencies=buildMore in Run what you mean
Timeouts
A hung task is killed and reported as a timeout, not left to stall the run.
Pass arguments through
Arguments after -- reach the task, and the cache keeps each set apart.
Group tasks
Name a set of tasks once and run them with one word.
Source-only packages still count
A package with no build step still moves its dependants’ cache keys when its files change.
Say what a task needs
One short syntax for upstream, cross-project and pattern edges.
A typo never runs half the graph
Ask for a task no project has and vx stops before anything starts.
Filter by tag
Tag projects once, then run a task across every project with that tag.
Filter by folder
Pick projects by where they live, or the root project alone.
Remote pools at their own width
Send work to a remote pool and vx fills the pool, not your laptop’s core count.
Runs take turns
Two runs in one checkout wait for each other instead of fighting over files.
