How to allow an npm script to run all tasks before terminating even if one task fails – Javascript

I have an NPM script that runs multiple tasks like this:

"multiple": "task1 && task2 && task3"

However if tasks2 fails, the script will terminate and task3 will not be run.

Is there a way to "Catch" / "Ignore" the error if it does occur, so that task3 runs either way?

Something like:

"multiple": "task1 && task2 > ignore && task3"

    Use ; instead of &&:

    "multiple": "task1 && task2 ; task3"

    && is logical "and" with short-circuit. It stops the chain immediatly when the result is clear (false) and doesn’t evaluate the remaining operations.

    to continue running all tasks even if one of them fails by adding the --ignore-scripts flag.

    Here’s how I would modify the package.json file:

    "scripts": {
  "my-script": "task1 && task2 && task3 || true"
}

    In the example above, the && operator is used to run each task sequentially. The || true statement is added at the end to ensure that the script continues to run even if one of the tasks fails.

    OR you could try the --force flag, which will force npm to continue running the script even if errors are thrown.

    "scripts": {
  "my-script": "npm run task1 && npm run task2 && npm run task3 --force"
}
