Feature request: dont fail ci, wenn nx cloud free tier limits are exceeded

[RobbyRabbitman]

Nx cloud with free tier is really nice, however when the limits are exceeded ci fails. Can we make nx cloud optional? Use it when there are tokens left, and disable it when limits are exceeded, but dont fail ci. Maybe add a env var or a entry for that in the nx.json.

Ok, so there are couple of ways to disable nx cloud:

https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/eef293ce86fbe355cfa1d205fac4d242bb5f897f/packages/nx/src/utils/nx-cloud-utils.ts#L3C1-L16C2

In my case, I wrapped the pnpm i step in ci with a script thats checks if nx reports whether cloud is disabled. You can probably get the idea and adjust it to your project:

#!/bin/sh

set +e
installLog=$(pnpm i 2>&1)
exit_code=$?
set -e

echo "$installLog"

NX_CLOUD_DISABLED_MSG="This Nx Cloud organization has been disabled due to exceeding the FREE plan."

if [ $exit_code -ne 0 ] && echo "$installLog" | grep -qi "$NX_CLOUD_DISABLED_MSG"; then
  echo "Nx Cloud organization has been disabled, disabling Nx Cloud for this run."
  echo "NX_NO_CLOUD=true" >>"$GITHUB_ENV"
  # trigger postinstall scripts again, because they might have been errored due to the Nx Cloud error
  export NX_NO_CLOUD=true
  pnpm i
else
  exit $exit_code
fi

with usage:

# - run: pnpm i
- run: .github/scripts/install-deps.sh
