Does the --with-deps does something when used on nx serve?

[maxime1992]

Description

I've recently converted all my libs to be buildables.

It's helping for the build but I don't think I've noticed any difference when doing nx serve my-app --with-deps

We've got quite a huge number of libs and I'd expect some perf improvement by doing that but I don't feel like that the case. Maybe it's just me or the fact that part of our app is still in the main app.

Can anyone confirm that --with-deps should help when used with nx serve?

Thanks

Currently, serve does not really use buildable library computation. It still pulls from source.

There's an example of how this can be done here:

https://github.com/nrwl/nx-incremental/blob/master/tools/scripts/watch.js
https://github.com/nrwl/nx-incremental/blob/master/apps/ngapp/tsconfig.app.json

We're still working on how we can make this a generic solution.

@FrozenPandaz any progress? I hope we can run nx serve app --with-deps soon 🙏

I believe this should stay open (for the bot..)

thanks @maxime1992. for anyone new to this issue, I've made my own local plugin to deal with buildable libraries based on #3501 (comment) answer

FYI:

This might not be true anymore.
Based on some tests I made, the serve command would fail if one of my libraries wasn't built, but will work if I manually build it.
