nx: Generate @nrwl/node:application command not working

I experienced the same issue.

I was able to fix it by:

1. Updating nx packages by running: yarn nx migrate latest
2. Installed the updated nx packages yarn

After this, the error was no more.

I ran into the same issue today using the @nrwl/gatsby generators as well as the @nrwl/node generators. After some debugging it looks like it was caused by the read method in the tree class of @nrwl/tao returning a buffer instead of a string due to the generator using the wrong version of the @nrwl/tao for some reason. The version causing the error was lacking the method signature “encoding” param present in the correct version.

I resolved it for now by adding @nrwl/tao as a dependency for my project. I’ll do some more looking into it later but hope this works for you!

@ochomoswill Awesome it’s work Thanks

This has something to do with recents version, @Peter-NZ 's solution didn’t work for me with the Version 12.3.4 , i had to downgrade my project to version 11.4.0 of @nrwl/react in order to get it work.
