Node script not exiting

[jsefiani]

Current Behavior

When running a NodeJS script (NX application), it keeps rebuilding when I change something in the main.ts file while watch mode is set to false (also note that my script is not exiting).
"serve": { "builder": "@nrwl/node:execute", "options": { "buildTarget": "engine:build", "inspect": false, "watch": false } },
This script connects to an FTP server, downloads some files, parses them, and interacts with a database.

It exits fine when just using node dist/apps/script/main.js but not when using nx serve script, so it's definitely not my script.

Expected Behavior

I expect my NodeJS script to run once and exit (it works when just executing node dist/apps/script/main.js).
I don't want a script to be rebuilding when I'm just running it.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a NodeJS app
2. Copy the following code in the main.ts file:
   async function main() { await new Promise((resolve, reject) => { setTimeout(() => { resolve(); }, 5000); }); }

main() .catch((err) => console.log(Something went wrong: ${err})) .finally(() => { console.log('Script executed!!'); });

3. Go to your workspace.json and target your serve command for the NodeJS app you created and add the following options:
   "inspect": false, "watch": false

Failure Logs

No failure logs.

Ran into the same issue. I opened PR #4083 with a potential fix. The watch option is getting overwritten in the node packages' execute builder. Believe that line can just be removed.
