Can "serve" exit after process exit in NestJS?

[hcharley]

I am trying to write a NestJS CLI that exits on completion, but it seems like the NX serve runner is geared towards running forever, even with --watch=false.

Am I missing something? Or do I always have to press Ctrl+C at the end of running?

nx run my-cli:serve --args=my-command --inspect=false --watch=false

Here is my bootstrapping function in main.ts

import 'reflect-metadata';

import { Logger } from '@nestjs/common';
import { getCommandContext } from '@my/utils';

import { MyCliModule } from './app/my-cli-module';

const logger = new Logger('bootstrap');

async function bootstrap() {
  const start = new Date();
  const getMsSinceStart = () => new Date().getTime() - start.getTime();
  const { args } = getCommandContext();
  if (!args._.length) {
    logger.error(`No command provided!`);
    logger.error(`Exiting after ${getMsSinceStart()}ms.`);
    process.exit(1);
    return;
  }
  const [command] = args._;
  const { service } = await MyCliModule.create();
  await service.runCommand(command);
  logger.log(`Done in ${getMsSinceStart()}ms.`);
  process.exit(0);
}

bootstrap();

I'm also wondering this as well
