nextvm serve

One-shot: build every module then spawn a local FXServer subprocess against the result. No file watching — restart the command after a code change.

For the rebuild-on-change loop, use nextvm dev --serve instead.

Synopsis

nextvm serve              # build then spawn FXServer
nextvm serve --no-build   # skip the build step (use existing dist/)

Flags

Flag	Description
--no-build	Skip the initial build and use whatever's already in each module's dist/. Handy when you've just built manually and only want to boot the server.

Requires

A fxserver block in nextvm.config.ts. The command errors out with a hint if it's missing. See Local FXServer for the full setup.

What it does

1. Loads the project
2. Builds every module (unless --no-build)
3. Resolves the FXServer binary
4. Links modules into <dataPath>/resources/[nextvm]/
5. Generates server.cfg.nextvm from nextvm.config.ts
6. Spawns FXServer and streams logs with a cyan [fx] prefix
7. On Ctrl+C: kills the FXServer process tree and removes the [nextvm]/ symlinks
