nx-electron: unable to use nx-electron in nx 15.3

postinstall crashes after upgrading to nx 15.3 after upgrading nx framework to 15.3, it seems the postinstall breaks nx-electron:

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

nx migrate latest
npm i
postinstall throws the following error:

warning "nx-electron > rxjs-for-await@1.0.0" has unmet peer dependency "rxjs@^7.0.0".
[4/4] Building fresh packages...
[1/3] ⠈ nx
[2/3] ⠈ nx
error E:\StreamOverlayPro-dev\StreamOverlayPro-NX\streamoverlaypro\node_modules\nx-electron\node_modules\nx: Command failed.
Exit code: 1
Command: node ./bin/init
Arguments:
Directory: E:\StreamOverlayPro-dev\StreamOverlayPro-NX\streamoverlaypro\node_modules\nx-electron\node_modules\nx
Output:

$

I have tried to determine the source of the issue. still very preliminary.

Expected behavior Build should exit successfully

I have released a beta few days ago, if all goes well and no one will report an issue I will release a stable version in a couple of days. I will try to release alpha for v15 quickly, but it will take a bit to release a stable v15. it seems Nrwl have done a lot of changes under the hood again.

@mtrefzer I’ve published an alpha.

I couldn’t have enough time for this @mtrefzer , I will keep in touch @bennymeg to see if we can move from the stable branch of 14 to move into 15.

@tbogard Thank you for working on the unit tests. The release cycle of NX is quite short, and I do not have a lot of time to develop the package every week. Hence, the slow releases. If you wish to work on v14 / v15 or adding new features, I would be more than happy to merge your PR’s. I am keeping developing and improving the package and hopefully release a new version (14) soon.

@bennymeg I migrated my clients project with the alpha and everything worked. I just used the most recent electron version and added some overrides due to some vulnerabilities (Severity: high).

Here are the relevant parts of the package.json

{
  "engines": {
    "node": "18.15.0",
    "npm": "9.5.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "electron": "^24.0.0"
  },
  "overrides": {
    "electron-builder": "^24.2.0",
    "webpack": "^5.78.0"
  }
}

Some updates. NOT CLOSED.

Tests are failing on most of the schematics on WINDOWS. It should be transparent the test on mac/Linux/windows if the paths involved in the test are properly using path.join/path.resolve rather than a string. Tests show quite different things.
once I fix the tests, I will attempt to resolve the build using Nx 15.4.

Note: if you are using Nx 14.3, be aware that breaking changes will happen and probably I will add a required version of Nx to prevent breaking changes on version 14. Keep in mind that if @bennymeg doesn’t update Nx Electron to Nx 15.4, I would eventually think on do it myself in a separate branch.
