nx run --output-style=tty ( or just --tty ) to print only result of the command

[ThePlenkov]

Hi!

The context

i want to render few text files like this cat openapi/types.md common.md abap.md and send the result to another command

The problem

in case if I want to wrap it to nx command i do something like

{
    "name": "prompt",
    "targets": {
        "abap-openapi-types": {
            "executor": "nx:run-commands",
            "options": {
                "command": "cat openapi/types.md common.md abap.md",
                "cwd": "{projectRoot}",
                "tty": true
            }
        }
    }
}

however when I run my command like: npx nx abap-openapi-types > test.log

In my test log I also have few lines which I don't want to have:

> nx run prompt:abap-openapi-types

> cat openapi/types.md common.md abap.md

## Task: Create an ABAP interface with types ZIF\_{SPEC}\_TYPES from a given OpenAPI specification.
....
 NX   Successfully ran target abap-openapi-types for project prompt

Proposed Solution

If we introduce a new output-style tty and use it like nx run --output-style=tty command or even nx run --tty command then NX will not print anything except the output of the command.

Workarounds

• using intermediate files like cat ... > some_file.log and then nx run command && cat some_file.log | next command
• not using nx

Do you think is a good idea?

Do you know any other workaround solutions?

Thanks!

Thanks!
