Cannot read property 'content' of null

Steps to reproduce on Ubuntu 20.04, node 14 (but also tested on node 12 and with angular feature added first to the workspace).

cd /tmp
npx create-nx-workspace myworkspace

choose empty and Nx

cd myworkspace
yarn add --dev @nstudio/xplat
yarn nx generate app

choose mobile, nativescript, Yes, angular, Yes, blah.

You will get Cannot read property 'content' of null.

What am I please doing wrong? Thanks!

Ok. To solve this I did a bit of a hack. Before running npx nx generate app I created a tsconfig.json file in the workspace root. The contents are as follows: { "extends": "./tsconfig.base.json" } That’s it. Now when you run npx nx generate app - everything should go smoothly. I tested in with both Angular and Nativescript installations. Seems to work fine. I made an installation youtube video which describes the steps here. https://youtu.be/5imR7aaruTc

Actually scratch that I tested some more, and it seems to be in: ./node_modules/@nstudio/xplat/src/utils/general.js starting at line 81. I added a console.log there. Code like this:

exports.jsonParse = jsonParse;
function getJsonFromFile(tree, path) {
    console.log('General 83', path);
    return jsonParse(tree.get(path).content.toString());

When trying to build a project - I got the following:

? What name would you like for this app? test2 ? What type of app would like to create? web [Web app] ? Would you like to configure routing for this app? Yes General 83 nx.json General 83 package.json ? Which frontend framework should it use? angular [Angular app] ? Use xplat supporting architecture? Yes General 83 nx.json General 83 package.json General 83 package.json General 83 package.json ✔ Packages installed successfully. ? In which directory should the app be generated? ? Which stylesheet format would you like to use? CSS General 83 nx.json General 83 package.json General 83 nx.json General 83 package.json Xplat.js 500 General 83 nx.json General 83 package.json General 83 nx.json General 83 tsconfig.json Cannot read property ‘content’ of null

Looks like a problem with tree and tsconfig.json. In a new version tsconfig.json at workspace root is renamed to tsconfig.base.json
