NX Release config - always publish without asking

[ryan-bendel]

Hey,

I'm not sure if this is possible, but using NX release in our app we get the wizard, which i want to be interactive (i.e choosing the versioning strategy), it then proceeds to create the tag, and update github with the tag/release notes, all good.

Then it asks if we want to publish those versions, is there a way of skipping that question and always publishing? We've had a few instances where this step has been missed (or they've said no) meaning we have tags/releases out of sync with actual packages published. Is there any magic config i can use?

Thanks

I would like to know this as well!

Hi Folks,

Did you not try running nx release --help? It covers this opion:

  -y, --yes              Automatically answer yes to the confirmation prompt for publishing.   

I definitely always recommend running help on whatever Nx CLI commands you are running and want to learn more about as a first step!

Thanks @JamesHenry - i was aware of the option in the cli, i was just hoping there was some config i could add to nx.json for it to publish automatically. Reason being we've had instances where people have gone through the process and mistakenly not published, and as we generate git-tags/release notes, it's a bit of a pain to tidy those up after the fact.

Not a big one, it was more a dev-ex thing, trying to make the process as quick/foolproof as poss :)

Ah ok, specifically config - I was reacting to "is there a way" and yes there is :D

I think adding some config for it is ok yeah, I'll add that
