Removed Executors

Nx 24 removes 35 executors that were deprecated in Nx 23. Each removed executor has an inferred equivalent provided by its plugin, so the task you ran before still runs after the migration, just without an executor entry in your project configuration.

Installing Nx 24 does not break a workspace that still references these executors. The project graph still loads, and nx migrate still runs. Tasks that use a removed executor fail until you complete the migration.

Removed executors

Plugin	Removed executors
@nx/cypress	cypress
@nx/detox	build, test
@nx/eslint	lint
@nx/expo	build, export, install, prebuild, run, serve, start, submit
@nx/jest	jest
@nx/next	build, server
@nx/playwright	playwright
@nx/react-native	build-android, build-ios, bundle, pod-install, run-android, run-ios, start, upgrade
@nx/rollup	rollup
@nx/rspack	rspack, dev-server
@nx/storybook	storybook, build
@nx/vite	build, dev-server, preview-server
@nx/vitest	test
@nx/webpack	webpack, dev-server

The old @nrwl-scoped aliases of these executors are removed as well.

Executors that have no inferred equivalent stay: @nx/expo:build-list, @nx/expo:sync-deps, @nx/expo:update, @nx/expo:ensure-symlink, @nx/react-native:storybook, @nx/react-native:sync-deps, @nx/react-native:ensure-symlink, @nx/webpack:ssr-dev-server, @nx/rspack:ssr-dev-server, @nx/playwright:merge-reports, and @nx/playwright:wait-for-webserver.

Removed programmatic exports

Code that imported an executor function directly needs to call the tool instead.

Package	Removed exports
@nx/playwright	playwrightExecutor
@nx/rollup	rollupExecutor, createRollupOptions
@nx/vite/executors	viteBuildExecutor, viteDevServerExecutor, vitePreviewServerExecutor
@nx/vitest/executors	vitestExecutor
@nx/webpack	webpackExecutor, WebpackExecutorEvent

The executor option types, such as ViteBuildExecutorOptions and PlaywrightExecutorSchema, are still exported.

Changed generator APIs

Generators no longer accept the addPlugin option. They always add their inference plugin, so remove addPlugin from code that calls them.

The @nx/react:setup-ssr generator is removed. It configured server builds on the removed @nx/webpack:webpack and @nx/rspack:rspack executors.

getViteE2EWebServerInfo and getReactRouterE2EWebServerInfo from @nx/vite, getWebpackE2EWebServerInfo from @nx/webpack, getRspackE2EWebServerInfo from @nx/rspack and getRsbuildE2EWebServerInfo from @nx/rsbuild no longer take the isPluginBeingAdded argument. The port override moves up to the fourth argument, and the Vite helpers take the CI port override fifth:

// Before
await getViteE2EWebServerInfo(tree, 'my-app', configFilePath, true, 4200);
// After
await getViteE2EWebServerInfo(tree, 'my-app', configFilePath, 4200);

Migrate

Run the standard migration. Each affected plugin ships a remove-deprecated-executors migration that converts your projects.

nx migrate latest
nx migrate --run-migrations

The migration runs convert-to-inferred for every project that uses a removed executor. It moves each target's options into the tool's own configuration file, registers the plugin in nx.json, and preserves your target names and configurations.

Some options have no equivalent outside the executor. The migration reports those rather than dropping them silently, so read its output before committing.

Migrate a single plugin

To convert one plugin ahead of the upgrade, run its generator directly:

nx g @nx/vite:convert-to-inferred

Pass --project to convert a single project instead of the whole workspace.

After migrating

Verify that the project graph still loads and that your tasks still run:

nx show projects
nx run-many -t build test lint
