nx-electron: Unable to use nx-electron

Describe the bug I cannot create an electron app by following the instruction in the README.md file.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Generate an empty nx workspace npx create-nx-workspace@latest
Install yarn add -D @nrwl/react

@bennymeg is there a timeline yet for supporting version 11 of NX?

Thank to @pascalbayer you will have a v11 released soon.

@shlajin Thanks for that detailed description. I’ve been able to identify the issue. nx g nx-electron:app electron --frontendProject=renderer puts the latest stable version back into the package.json file. Reinstalling with npm i nx-electron@11.0.0-alpha.0 --dev solves this but I can still reproduce the original error, trying to implement a fix for it.

It seems we have mixed here two different issues. The original issue have been resolved, so will close this issue for now.

Feel free to finish you discussion here, but I think it will be more organized if we will move this discussion to #76.
