@nrwl/js:library — no root entry in project.json causes nx to throw an error

Current Behavior

Running npx nx generate @nrwl/js:library myTestLib --importPath=@mycompany/myTestLib --publishable --tags=myTestLib to create a non-angular library in an angular workspace causes nx to throw an error. The generated project.json is missing the { root: "myTestLib" } entry.

Expected Behavior

The @nrwl/js generator scaffolds the json to have a root field containing the lib name.

Steps to Reproduce

Run npx nx generate @nrwl/workspace:workspace-generator test --no-interactive to create a workspace Run npx nx generate @nrwl/angular:application testapp --tags=mytestapp --no-interactive to create an angular app Run npx nx generate @nrwl/js:library testlib --tags=testlib --no-interactive to create a new typescript library. Now try to run nx serve or nx build to see the build failing with:

Hey @oliverkierepka , it may be unrelated, but some of your @nrwl/* packages don’t line up with the version of nx you have installed. Aside from @nrwl/nx-cloud, all packages under the nrwl scope should generally be set up with the same version.

Can you correct this and check that the issue still reproduces? An easy way to fix this would be to run nx migrate {v}, where v is the version of nx you have installed. Alternatively, updating to latest with nx migrate latest would also work.

Nevermind my previous comment. I accidentally commented on the wrong issue. 😄
