add-nx-to-monorepo fails with confusing error for minimal package.json

I am trying to add nx to a monorepo I am trynig to create for my python packages

• I am using nx for the first time
• I am trying to structure my code in a monorepo for the first time (package based monorepo)

Current Behavior

npx add-nx-to-monorepo fails with an unclear error

Expected Behavior

I was expecting it to ask some questions or at the very least tell me why it can’t ask me questions

Steps to Reproduce

The package.json I have in my python project was added mainly for commitlint

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "@commitlint/cli": "^17.0.0",
    "@commitlint/config-conventional": "^17.0.0",
    "cz-conventional-changelog": "^3.3.0"
  },
  "config": {
    "commitizen": {
      "path": "./commitizen.js"
    }
  }
}

When I try to run $ npx add-nx-to-monorepo - it fails.

Easiest way to reproduce seems to be:

$ mkdir /tmp/test_nx
$ echo '{}' > package.json
$ npx add-nx-to-monorepo

Failure Logs

$ npx add-nx-to-monorepo

I found a little trick : npx add-nx-to-monorepo --yes no

But no task runner configuration was generated…

Thanks @DRenaud, that workaround also worked with yarn dlx nx@latest init --yes no
