NX/React build omits index.html when run from sub directories

Current Behavior

running npx nx run myApp:build:production --outputPath=apps/myApp/dist has different output depending on the directory I am in. When running from root, the dist output includes the index.html file. However when running from within apps/myApp the index.html is missing from dist. All other files are there as expected.

Expected Behavior

I would expect that running this command from within a sub directory would have the same output.

Steps to Reproduce

• initialize an nx/react project.
• run the nx build command from root and then from an app dir.

Failure Logs

here is a snippet from my project:

➜  admin git:(tv-vercel-mono) npx nx run admin:build:production --outputPath=apps/admin/dist

> nx run admin:build:production --outputPath=apps/admin/dist

Environment

The reason I would like this to behave in the expected way, is because I am using vercel which requires configuring “root dirs” to have projects with different redirect and rewrite rules.
