Missing workspace.json

When executing nx run workspace:version --sync-versions true --root-changelog false in my nx repo I get the following warning:

(node:7184) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'project/workspace.json'
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
(node:7184) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag `--unhandled-rejections=strict` (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 1)
(node:7184) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

NX version: "@nrwl/workspace": "11.1.5"

It also works in the mountains. If I fall then it’s a hole 😅.

Thanks @petergrau for the issue.

There was actually a problem with the readJsonFile function as it is using from instead of defer. If the error is triggered before we subscribe and implicitly add an error catcher, it would crash. I am sharing a fix right now.

@edbzn Actually, I am more in favor of the pythonic approach of “Easier to Ask for Forgiveness than Permission” https://docs.python.org/3.9/glossary.html#term-eafp instead of https://docs.python.org/3.9/glossary.html#term-lbyl 🐍
