Very similar issue here, but with a different call stack:

I got the same error after upgrading to 15.7.1, I don’t have a angular.json file at all for my angular project.

After some more detailed investigation I discovered not all my project.json contained name property for the library. Not sure why some of my libraries had these and others did not.

project.json

{
  "name": "ui-shared-components", // <- This was missing and need to add it to project
  "$schema": "../../../../node_modules/nx/schemas/project-schema.json",
  "projectType": "library",
  "sourceRoot": "libs/ui/shared/components/src",
  "prefix": "cts",
...
}

After fixing all my project.json files, the error went away.

Another interesting collision that occurred with the name is that it needs to be not only be unique (which I already knew), but the you cannot use have suffix names

ui-shared-components
ui-shared-components-input

Having the library called ui-shared-components will cause the ui-shared-components-input to fail. This caused an issue with the e2e project namings as well my-app and my-app-e2e caused a conflict.
