generate @nrwl/angular:application -> Expected apps/apps/myapp/tsconfig.json to exist. Please create one.

Current Behavior

When I run command: nx generate @nrwl/angular:application --name=myapp --style=scss --e2eTestRunner=none --linter=eslint --prefix=myapp --routing --strict --unitTestRunner=jest i got this error: Expected apps/apps/myapp/tsconfig.json to exist. Please create one.

This project was created with nx 7 and upgraded every new release and now when I upgraded to 12.5 I noticed this behavior. I haven’t used this command for a while now so it could broke earlier. When I create totally new project with nx I do not have such problems so it could be something inside my project files but I can’t find the reason.

Expected Behavior

To have angular application created.

I had the same problem after migrating an existing Angular repo to an NX workspace.

The issue for me was the following line in the angular.json file:

"newProjectRoot": "projects"

After removing it all the generator commands worked as expected.
