A way to execute custom Gradle tasks about nxrocks

Thanks for using the plugin!

Regarding your question, first of all, there is no @nxrocks/nx-spring-boot:gradle executor. What the plugin does out-of-the-box, is to define a set of executors for default tasks that are available in a SpringBoot project managed by Gradle.

Now, if you define custom gradle tasks in your project, you still can add them as target in your project.json.

And as you guess, you will have to use the generic nx:run-commands executor to run the underlying task.

Here is an example:

    "my-custom-target": {
      "executor": "nx:run-commands",
      "options": {
        "command": "./gradlew my-custom-task --argument-1",
        "cwd": "apps/path/to/my/project/root",
      }
    }

Note:

• nx:run-commands is the new and shorter name of the @nrwl/workspace:run-commands executor, you can use one or the other , based on your version of Nx
• you have to set the "cwd" (current working directory) option of nx:run-commands executor, so that the ./gradlew command (inside the project) is found
• using ./gradlew and nx:run-commands you shouldn't have to worry about cross-platform compatibility issues,

Here is a real-life example of. project that uses nxrocks/nx-spring-boot with custom gradle targets.

Hope it helps
