Unable to update NX to latest version - No such file or directory error

Expected Behavior

Updating Nx following https://nx.dev/angular/guides/update guide goes without errors.

Current Behavior

My current workspace version is 8.7.1. I’ve attempted to update it to the latest following the guide on https://nx.dev/angular/guides/update, but got the following error:

@alfonsobravi I had this issue in a previous migration. What it solved for me was to install the package @nrwl/tao by hand and then rerun the migration. We started with nx pretty early on and this package was added sometime when there was the transation from angular cli only to nx cli afaik. I also used to update just with yarn update, maybe that was also the reason why this package was missing for us. To be totally honest, I am to this day not sure what the preferred way is to keep the repo up to date. I thought now the migrate command should be preferred. But on the release blog (for example here it always states to just use yarn update.

Ran into the same issue trying to upgrade Nx v9.2.4 -> v9.3.0. Had to install @nrwl/tao manually again npm i @nrwl/tao --save-dev.
