Why does Vercel set `NX_DAEMON` to `false`?

(edited)

I noticed that in the environment file created by vercel env pull, there exists this environment variable for both our Production and Staging environments:

1NX_DAEMON="false"

But I couldn't find any documentation about this env var in the Vercel docs.

Why does Vercel set this environment variable?

Hey, Paul! 👋

NX daemon is not meant to be run in CI and can result in hanging builds. NX should handle this automatically, but a long time ago we saw some issues with this on older version of NX so we set it as well to be explicit.

Let us know if you have any questions 😃
