[Core] Scope Nx Plugin Project Crystal 💛💛💛


feat(core): add ability to scope plugins

#22379


Current Behavior

There is no way to users to filter where plugins are applied. Only by the plugin author.

This means that errors thrown make the plugin unusable and more modifications to the project graph are made than desired.

Expected Behavior

Plugins can be scoped via include and exclude which are both lists of file patterns.

{
plugins: [
{
plugin: ‘@nx/jest/plugin’,
include: [‘packages/**/*’],
exclude: [‘e2e/**/*’]
}
]
}

This will scope running the plugin to processing only those config files.

In my previous article, “⛔ Target Exclusions in Nx Project Crystal,” I introduced alternatives for excluding certain projects from specific plugins.

For instance, you might not want a test target in an e2e project simply because there’s a jest.config.ts file present.

Now, an official method is available for excluding or including plugins for a specific project. Within your nx.json file, you can now specify the exclude or include options:

{
“plugins”: [
{
“plugin”: “@nx/jest/plugin”,
“options”: {
“targetName”: “test”,
“exclude”: [“my-lib-e2e/**/*”]
}
}
]
}

[Gradle] New Gradle Integration


@nx/gradle | Nx

The Nx Plugin for Gradle allows Gradle tasks to be run through Nx

nx.dev

You can now leverage the new Gradle integration with the @nx/gradle:init generator. To initialize, simply run:

nx g @nx/gradle:init

This initialization will also add the @nx/gradle/plugin to your nx.json:

{
“plugins”: [
{
“plugin”: “@nx/gradle/plugin”,
“options”: {
“testTargetName”: “build”,
“classesTargetName”: “test”,
“buildTargetName”: “classes”
}
}
]
}

This plugin will:

Integrate your Gradle projects into the Nx Dependency Tree by scanning all Gradle configurations.

Discover your projects by scanning the Gradle configuration matching the pattern **/build.{gradle.kts,gradle}, and then assign the targets build, test, and classes.

[Cypress] New target open-cypress is added by the @nx/cypress/plugin


feat(testing): infer open-cypress task

#22556


Infer a new task named open-cypress, which runs the command cypress open from the project root.

Current Behavior

Expected Behavior

Related Issue(s)

Fixes #22389

If you’re working with Nx Project Crystal and have a Cypress project that includes a cypress.config.* file, the @nx/cypress/plugin will automatically add related targets to your project.

A new target, open-cypress, will now be added to your project configuration:

“open-cypress”: {
“command”: “cypress open”,
“options”: {
“cwd”: “.”,
},

You have the flexibility to use a different name by specifying the new plugin option openTargetName:

{
“plugins”: [
{
“plugin”: “@nx/cypress/plugin”,
“options”: {
“targetName”: “e2e”,
“ciTargetName”: “e2e-ci”,
“componentTestingTargetName”: “component-test”,
“openTargetName”: “open-cypress” // <– NEW
}
}
]
}
