Concepts > Script Execution Order#

Using the workspace configuration, you can set an "order" value to sort the execution order of a script per workspace.

You may want to run scripts in series (--parallel=false in the CLI or option parallel: false in the API) instead of the default parallel so that each script completes before the next one starts.

Default Order#

By default, workspaces are sorted in alphanumerical order of their relative path from the project root.

Configured vs. Default Order#

Workspace scripts with an "order" value will be executed before workspaces with no "order" set for the same script, falling back to the default order.

Example#

In this example, any other workspaces in the project with an "order" for the "start" script less than 10 will be executed before this workspace, and any workspaces with an "order" for the "start" script greater than 10 will be executed after this workspace.

{
  "alias": "myApp",
  "tags": [
    "my-tag"
  ],
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "order": 10
    },
    "test": {
      "order": 20
    }
  }
}
