TUI: Nx Cloud run details link is lost when TUI exits #34434
Description
Current Behavior
When using the TUI (tui.enabled: true), the Nx Cloud "Run Details" link that was previously printed to stdout after task completion is no longer visible. The TUI captures all output in its interactive display, and when it exits (especially with autoExit: true), the cloud link is lost entirely.
Before the TUI, running a task would print something like:
View run details at https://cloud.nx.app/runs/abc123
This link is essential for debugging cache misses, investigating task failures, and generally accessing the cloud dashboard for a specific run.
Expected Behavior
The Nx Cloud run details link should be printed to the terminal after the TUI exits, so it remains visible in terminal scrollback. This is especially important for local development runs, which are difficult to find through the Nx Cloud dashboard (the dashboard is oriented around CI pipeline executions, not local runs).
Workarounds explored (none are viable)
nx view-logs: Outputs "Refer to the output of the last command to find the Nx Cloud link" when the workspace is already connected — which is circular since the TUI ate that output.- Nx Cloud dashboard: Local dev runs are very hard to locate through the web UI; it's oriented around CI pipeline executions and branches.
- Increase
autoExitdelay: Not practical for teams that run multiple tasks in series and don't want artificial delays. --no-tuiper command: Works but defeats the purpose of enabling the TUI globally.
Steps to Reproduce
- Enable TUI in
nx.json:{ "tui": { "enabled": true, "autoExit": true } } - Connect workspace to Nx Cloud (e.g. via
nxCloudAccessToken) - Run any cacheable task:
nx run my-project:build - TUI opens, task runs, TUI auto-exits
- No Nx Cloud run link is visible in the terminal
Environment
- Nx: 21.3.11
- OS: macOS
- Terminal: Cursor integrated terminal (also reproducible in other terminals)
- TUI config:
{ "enabled": true, "autoExit": true }
