Literally just folowed the docs on creating a workspace and addding an application using @nrwl/nest and i encountered this error.

Don’t think this should be closed?

I’ve just started using nx 5 mintues ago and i’m blocked already lol

Edit

For anyone coming here from a search - turns out the nest package is missing a crucial line in the project.json

"sourceRoot": "apps/api/src",
  "projectType": "application",
  "root": "apps/api", // << add this

When I came across this issue it had to do with projects being in my nx.json. Removing the entire projects object from the nx.json solved this issue. The migrate command should ideally remove it for the user depending on the version number.
