yarn run

run a script defined in the package.json

Terminal window
yarn run <scriptName> ...

Run the tests from the local workspace :

Terminal window
yarn run test

Same thing, but without the “run” keyword :

Terminal window
yarn test

Inspect Webpack while running :

Terminal window
yarn run --inspect-brk webpack

This command will run a tool. The exact tool that will be executed will depend on the current state of your workspace:

  • If the scripts field from your local package.json contains a matching script name, its definition will get executed.

  • Otherwise, if one of the local workspace’s dependencies exposes a binary with a matching name, this binary will get executed.

  • Otherwise, if the specified name contains a colon character and if one of the workspaces in the project contains exactly one script with a matching name, then this script will get executed.

Whatever happens, the cwd of the spawned process will be the workspace that declares the script (which makes it possible to call commands cross-workspaces using the third syntax).
