Make nx run more flexible when using script runner workflow

Current Behavior

After adding Nx to a Lerna repo using add-nx-to-monorepo I’m unable to run any scripts that have a colon in them.

Example:

{
  "name": "packages/my-lib",
  "scripts": {
    "cypress:open": "cypress open ",
    ...
  }
}

nx run packages/my-lib:cypress:open

Expected Behavior

I would expect that I could run the cypress:open script using nx run

Steps to Reproduce

• Run add-nx-to-monorepo to an existing Lerna workspace
• Add a script with a colon in a package’s package.json
• Call that script with a colon using nx run

Failure Logs

When you run the command you get the following error:

NX Cannot find target 'cypress' for project packages/my-lib`

@AgentEnder The infix target format works but the quotation marks example does not.

I’m going to close this out now for the following reasons:

• The documented reasons for failure above (e.g. shell consuming quotes)
• The infix notation works
• Transitioning from lerna “just works” with the useNx flag introduced in lerna v5. Folks can continue running their commands with lerna.
