feat(nx-cloud): add nx start-nx-agents as an alias for nx-cloud start-nx-agents - #36572
Merged
Conversation
…-nx-agents The ci-workflow generator templates now emit `nx start-nx-agents`, but `nx` had no such command, so the generated workflows failed with "Cannot find configuration for task <project>:start-nx-agents". Add the command as an alias for `nx-cloud start-nx-agents`, mirroring the existing `start-ci-run` and `start-agent` aliases. It is also added to `isNxCloudCommand` so it can run without a local Nx installation, which matters because the generated workflows invoke it before dependencies are installed.

…-nx-agents (#36572) ## Current Behavior [#36504](#36504) (`c07a3dd3d1`) updated the `ci-workflow` generator templates to emit `nx start-nx-agents`, but `packages/nx` does not define a `start-nx-agents` command. Because the command is unrecognized, the CLI falls through to task resolution and the generated workflows fail: ``` NX Cannot find configuration for task @nx/nx-source:start-nx-agents ``` `start-nx-agents` is an Nx Cloud command. Nx can only invoke it the same way it invokes `start-ci-run`. ## Expected Behavior `nx start-nx-agents` works as an alias for [`nx-cloud start-nx-agents`](https://nx.dev/docs/reference/nx-cloud-cli#nx-cloud-start-nx-agents), mirroring the existing `start-ci-run` alias. ## Related Issue(s) Fixes the generator output shipped in #36504. <!-- polygraph-session-start --> --- <p><picture><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="https://static.ops.cloud.nx.app/polygraph/session-logo-v4-dark.svg"><img src="https://static.ops.cloud.nx.app/polygraph/session-logo-v4-light.svg" width="16" height="22" align="middle" alt="Polygraph"></picture> <a href="https://snapshot.app.trypolygraph.com/orgs/69cdc268b6aa527e4129c2b4/sessions/free-sparrow-1a9be01d">View session ↗</a></p> <!-- polygraph-session-end -->
