I experienced this issue last week as well: ng g lib ui resulted in an Path "/libs/ui/src/lib/ui.service.spec.ts" does not exist.error. After removing old schematics from the angular.json file everything worked again as expected (longger version here for reference: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/1937#issuecomment-544377735_)

Try this: check for “newProjectRoot” in the angular.json and remove it entirely

Using nrwl/nx 7.6.2 and nrwl/schematics 7.6.2 AND roll back to cli 7.3.1 fixed this issue.

With latest CLI, I got this error during generating a lib (yes, with latest nrwl/schematics…): nx-generate-issue

What’s the breaking change and how should we migrate our project?

Hi all,

This issue should have been resolved. Both, new workspaces and migrated ones should be locked to CLI 7.3.1. CLI 7.3.3 has a breaking change for Nx so please do not use it.

People who migrated from 7.5.x to 7.6.0 then to 7.6.2 might not receive the fix so please lock the version of @angular/cli to 7.3.1 manually.

Can someone please provide steps to reproduce?

Are you using create-nx-workspace? yarn update? ng add?

See related issue: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/1096

@intuvision I was very hopeful, but your workaround doesn’t work for me 😦

Version 7.3.4 for Angular CLI fixed the issue on our side (generating lib inside an existing repo).

I used create-nx-workspace to create new workspace first. next I updated dependencies. But I have locked @angular/cli version to 7.3.1 and it’s work. thanks @FrozenPandaz
