rush exec

rush exec <binary> [args...] [flags]

Runs a binary installed in node_modules/.bin directly — without defining a script in package.json. Unlike rush run, exec bypasses the scripts section entirely and invokes the binary straight.

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
--verbose	false	Print detailed execution information

Examples

Run ESLint on the current directory:

rush exec eslint .

Type-check without emitting files:

rush exec tsc -- --noEmit

Format all files with Prettier:

rush exec prettier -- --write .

Build with webpack in production mode:

rush exec webpack -- --mode production

rush exec vs rush run

	rush run	rush exec
Source	package.json scripts	node_modules/.bin
Pre/post hooks	Yes	No
Use case	Defined project workflows	Ad-hoc binary invocation

Use rush run for scripts you’ve defined in package.json. Use rush exec when you want to call a tool directly with custom arguments, or when no script is defined.

Tip

Use -- to separate Rush flags from the binary’s own arguments:

rush exec tsc -- --noEmit --strict
