Run different scripts in parallel

[jp319]

In viteplus can I run different persistent scripts in parallel?

How I'm doing it currently using concurrently.

concurrently -n api-server,api-types -c blue,green "vp run dev" "vp pack --watch"

vp run --parallel exists, but it solves a slightly different problem: it runs the same named script across recursive/workspace targets without dependency ordering. The documented form is:

vp run -r --parallel dev

That is useful if, for example, your API package and types package both expose a dev script. You can optionally cap concurrency:

vp run -r --parallel --concurrency-limit 4 dev

For the example in the question, vp run dev and vp pack --watch are two different commands in the same working tree. The current run interface does not turn an arbitrary list of distinct commands into one supervised process, so concurrently (or another process supervisor) remains the straightforward choice.

If the repository is a workspace, another clean option is to give each target package the same dev script name—one script starts the server, the other starts the pack watcher—and invoke them with the recursive parallel form above. That also makes filtering by package possible and keeps the orchestration inside Vite+.

The relevant behavior is described in the repository's run guide: parallel mode ignores task dependencies and starts matching tasks at once; it is not shell-style composition of unrelated commands.
