NX not passing flag to the first job in affected run

Current Behavior

When running:

nx affected --target publish --parallel --base <hash> --with-deps --pkgVersion 1.3.0

The first job that gets run doesn’t receive flag.

  - nx-core
  - nx-jest-playwright
  - nx-serverless
  - nx-npm
  
  With flags:
    --pkgVersion=1.3.0

...

nx run nx-core:publish 

...

nx run nx-jest-playwright:publish --pkgVersion=1.3.0 
...

Consecutive jobs get it, but the first one is missing one.

Expected Behavior

All jobs should get flag.

@Bielik20 you’re absolutely right. I’m sorry, I mixed the issues and forgot the original issue was about --with-deps.

I’m re-opening this and we’ll have a look.

@leosvelperez Thank you for responding I appreciate that.

I have seen the other issue https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/7136 I think it is very important and calls for a larger debate. That being said, I do not agree it is a duplicate of THIS issue.

https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/7136 is about target dependencies and handling arguments in that NEW approach. Here we are discussing behaviour with withDeps flag which used to work fine and now it doesn’t, which is a regression.

This is really critical regression for me, because I cannot update my repository that holds Nx Plugins because it will break the release process.
