nx has hard dependency on * version of @nrwl/cli

Current Behavior

CI builds are failing with error

ERROR As of Nx 13, project configuration should be moved from nx.json to workspace.json/project.json. Please run “nx format” to fix this.

Expected Behavior

We have nx pinned to exact version 12.7.2, so we should not see a failure referencing a newer version.

Steps to Reproduce

The nx package.json contains

  "dependencies": {
    "@nrwl/cli": "*"
  }

which would explain the version mismatch.

In my case nx displays the following command:

ERROR As of Nx 13, project configuration should be moved from nx.json to workspace.json/project.json. Please run “nx format” to fix this.

and suggests running nx format. But, after running nx format - you cyclically get the same error “As of Nx 13, project configuration should be moved from nx.json to workspace.json/project.json. Please run “nx format” to fix this”.

You can solve this by opening nx.json file from the workspace root, and removing the projects object:

"defaultProject": "web-client", "projects": { /* remove this object */ "nativescript-mobile": { "tags": [] } }

then, run nx format, and then run your nx command. This solved this issue for me (I was running command npx nx run nativescript-mobile:ios). Worked in my case. Hope this helps.

We have since fixed this dependency. Can you all open a new issue about any formatting issues you might have?
