• It was working for a while so it may be linked to new changes.

I have run into this error while trying to follow the Nx migration guide to bring a react app into Nx: https://nx.dev/react/migration/overview

I was able to run npx create-nx-workspace@latest and create an empty workspace. The next suggested command fails nx generate @nrwl/react:application my-application with “Collection “@nrwl/react” cannot be resolved.”

Running npm install @nrwl/react seems to have resolved the problem. Perhaps consider adding this to the tutorial if nx generate @nrwl/react:application is unable to install its own dependencies.

[Peyman-98]

same error for me when using nx g @nrwl/angular:app (Collection “@nrwl/angular” cannot be resolved) any tips?

Did you install the package ‘@nrwl/angular’?

Thanks a lot. it worked. i wonder why there is no mentions on this for empty workspaces.
