New Workspace + add Angular = Could not find module "@nrwl/workspace" #1499

tomwhite007 · 2019-06-18T10:56:29Z

Expected Behavior

Creating new workspace via npm, add Angular tooling, and generate Angular app should use latest version and not crash.

This relates to ticket #1497, but is not the same

Current Behavior

Crashes at end of ng add @nrwl/angular

Failure Information

...error received during ng add @nrwl/angular install:

Installed packages for tooling via npm.
Could not find module "@nrwl/workspace" from "...\myworkspace".

Steps to Reproduce

npm init nx-workspace myworkspace
From new workspace folder... ng add @nrwl/angular

Context

relevant information about my setup:

version of Nx used: latest provided by npm init nx-workspace myworkspace - 7.6.2
version of Angular CLI used: defined by nx in workspace - 7.3.1, but my global is 8.0.3
Node: 10.14.0
OS: win32 x64
I've created a demo repo for you to see what was created by running the above commands on my Windows laptop.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

servrox · 2019-06-18T11:28:24Z

same problem, when running tslint:
Could not find custom rule directory: node_modules/@nrwl/workspace/src/tslint

I updated from "@nrwl/nx": "7.8.6" to "@nrwl/nx": "7.8.7".

FrozenPandaz · 2019-06-18T13:02:36Z

It looks like an older version of Nx was used.

Please use npm init nx-workspace@latest myworkspace to make sure you get the latest version.

You only need to add @nrwl/angular when using Nx 8+

tomwhite007 · 2019-06-19T07:52:32Z

@FrozenPandaz , thanks very much. That worked a treat. I'll use that for now.

Technically however, this is still a bug - as all your docs don't mention @latest. Would you mind leaving this issue open, so that I can remain subscribed and know when it has been patched?

girish121003 · 2019-07-24T02:01:42Z

It looks like an older version of Nx was used.

Please use npm init nx-workspace@latest myworkspace to make sure you get the latest version.

hey @FrozenPandaz i tried the command you mentioned. I still get the same error.

tdekoekkoek · 2019-07-24T10:01:37Z

This keeps haunting me. I've created a brand new workspace with the latest nx as far as I know and I keep getting this error. Is there any fix?

brandonroberts · 2019-07-24T17:51:23Z

@tdekoekkoek will you provide some more information about your environment? Such as:

node/npm version
OS version
exact repro steps
a GitHub repo of your generated project that fails

ph55 · 2019-08-03T00:54:25Z

Neither npx create-nx-workspace@latest myworkspace
nor npm init nx-workspace@latest myworkspace works:

aIbarrab · 2019-08-03T05:05:21Z

having same issue as @ph55

sergidt · 2019-08-03T10:04:18Z

I have the same issue I can't create a new workspace neither npm init nx-workspace@latest nor npx create-nx-workspace.

I am running from a windows machine and the latest node version 12.7.0

ph55 · 2019-08-03T16:09:38Z

Found workaround: npm i -g @nrwl/workspace - after installing workspace globally
npx create-nx-workspace myworkspace works.

aIbarrab · 2019-08-03T16:10:25Z

hey guys @sergidt , @ph55 yep... had to install @nrwl/workspace first

saleemmalikraja · 2019-09-14T14:35:33Z

If you are trying to create work-space

To install Nx CLI --> npm install -g @nrwl/cli
To install Nx workspace --> npm i -g @nrwl/workspace
To install typescript --> npm i -g typescript
(: Happy coding :)

tomwhite007 · 2019-09-15T10:47:06Z

Thanks to @FrozenPandaz for the temporary advice:

Please use npm init nx-workspace@latest myworkspace

As of Nrwl Nx version 8.5 this is no longer an issue.
npm init nx-workspace myworkspace

Now works just fine.

Closing issue...

peterhe2000 · 2020-01-16T00:24:28Z

For me, install nx cli globally works.
npm install -g @nrwl/cli

svox1 · 2020-01-24T07:20:11Z

I have still this error.
Installed nx for the first time with:

npm install -g @nrwl/cli

source: https://nx.dev/web/guides/cli

After that I try whats @vsavkin write:
#1306 (comment)

npx create-nx-workspace@latest my-ui-admin --preset=empty
ng g app angularapp --e2e-test-runner=proctractor

Because I want a app with protractor.

After last command I get the error:

An unhandled exception occurred: Schematic "app" not found in collection "@nrwl/workspace".

I tried it also with:

npm init nx-workspace myworkspace

-> empty workspace
-> angular-cli

and after that the ng g add command, but with same result.

My System infos:

Mac: 10.15.2
Nx Version: 8.11.2
Angular CLI: 8.3.14
Node: 10.18.0
OS: darwin x64

rough start ;-)

Update:
After reading: https://github.com/nrwl/nx
I get it work:

npm install --save-dev @nrwl/angular
nx g @nrwl/angular:app myapp --e2e-test-runner=proctractor

dnlmelo · 2020-02-06T19:56:46Z

Only if I install @nrwl/workspace locally, then it works. It's right? Why @nrwl/workspace not appear in docs?

duard · 2020-03-26T00:47:48Z

Similar error here, the applications run but I cant create any library

➜ nx g @nrwl/angular:lib --directory=ng models --dry-run

Cannot find module '@nrwl/workspace/src/utils/rules/workspace'

michael-golden · 2020-03-26T18:22:40Z

EDIT: Running npm install after updating to nrwl/nx 9.1.14 resolved this issue.

duard · 2020-03-26T21:04:46Z

@michael-golden I'm using Nx with Angular, and I fixed it doing :

nx update --all --force

gqchishti · 2020-04-05T05:48:21Z

ng add @nrwl/angular
fixed it for me.

tomwhite007 · 2020-04-11T14:58:52Z

@gqchishti
I had this problem again after selecting Empty Workspace when creating with latest Nx.
Your solution fixed it for me. Thanks.

LPCmedia · 2020-05-19T23:28:49Z

I had the same issue. After removing a rogue package.json, package-lock and node_modules that contained an older version of @nrwl/workspace folder in a parent directory, of my current working directory, the command worked as expected.

sorry I don't have the exact details...as I cleaned up the files were gone.

AshkanHovold · 2020-06-07T16:59:27Z

Found workaround: npm i -g @nrwl/workspace - after installing workspace globally
npx create-nx-workspace myworkspace works.

This helped me move forward. Then I got another error saying module 'typescript' was not found. Did "npm i -g typescript" then tried "npx create-nx-workspace myworkspace" again and this time it worked! Thnx alot :)

peternixey · 2020-07-06T21:40:52Z

I happened to come across this project today and it looked like a fantastic way to speed up my builds. I got the same errors as many others are describing though.

Running npm install @nrwl/nx-cloud && ng g @nrwl/nx-cloud:init on a clean install resulted in:

An unhandled exception occurred: Cannot find module '@nrwl/workspace'
Require stack:

See "/private/var/folders/5y/vhs03j3r16nzq9770ch0000gn/T/ng-fgCosC/angular-errors.log" for further details.

After starting to dig deeper it seems that maybe the onboarding for https://nx.app/orgs assumes that you've already got a bunch of other things in play. I didn't have any of those though so would be great to have a few more cues on where to start.

Looking forward to the chance to actually use this as the videos look super promising.

❯ nx generate @nrwl/angular:application appName works for me.

oletrn · 2022-11-28T21:13:54Z

Finally, I've managed to generate a project with Karma runner this way:

npx create-nx-workspace --preset=empty --name=my-app
cd my-app
npm install @nrwl/angular
nx generate @nrwl/angular:app foobar --style=scss --unitTestRunner=karma

ancientlunatic · 2022-12-31T19:25:22Z

I have managed to resolve this issue by
First, install the required nrwl package
for angular install npm i @nrwl/angular
then add your app
npx nx generate @nrwl/angular:app your-app-name
