Migration failure: Project '@nrwl/workspace' could not be found in workspace.

[wKovacs64]

Expected Behavior

I would expect the migrate command to migrate my workspace from 8.4.10 to 8.5.0.

Current Behavior

$ nx migrate @nrwl/workspace
Project '@nrwl/workspace' could not be found in workspace.

Failure Information (for bugs)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enter an existing 8.4.10 (or 8.4.13, maybe others) workspace. (Alternatively, generate a new 8.4.10 workspace. Choose empty and nx at the prompts.)
2. Follow the Updating Nx instructions by trying to generate a migrations.json file by running nx migrate @nrwl/workspace.
3. Observe the following error: Project '@nrwl/workspace' could not be found in workspace.

Context

• Workspace originally created with Nx 8.4.10, discovered issue when attempting to update to 8.5.0
• Simplified reproduction repository (freshly created with 8.5.0, downgraded to 8.4.10 purely to demonstrate the migration issue): https://github.com/wKovacs64/nx-migration-test

Failure Logs

Project '@nrwl/workspace' could not be found in workspace.

Not sure what else may be helpful. Feel free to request additional information.

Thanks for raising the issue, @wKovacs64 - confirmed!

Creating a brand new empty workspace with npx create-nx-workspace@8.4.10 (choose empty and nx) does indeed create a workspace that uncovers this bug 😰

I also run into this issue when trying to upgrade from 8.5.0 to 8.5.1:
$ nx migrate @nrwl/workspace code-tank-monorepo '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. \node_modules\yargs\yargs.js:1133 else throw err

That's funny, I was just logging a new issue for that. 🙂

The migrate command is still very experimental, but we are getting there.

I fixed the known issues in 8.5.2 and tested it out. So migrating from 8.5.2 should work well.

I'll keep this issue open to make sure upgrading from 8.5.2 to 8.5.3 works well.

[wKovacs64]

@vsavkin 8.5.2 to 8.6.0 failed trying to upgrade @nrwl/angular (which isn't even in our project, as we don't use Angular):

npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for @nrwl/angular@8.5.3

Let me know if you'd like a new issue.

[vsavkin]

Yeah. Sorry about it. We hit a bunch of issues with the migrate command, so the easiest way to make it work is to:

npm install --save-dev @nrwl/workspace@8.9.0
nx migrate @nrwl/workspace@8.9.0 --from='@nrwl/workspace:8.5.2' 

In this case you will use the fixed version of the migrate command but will still run all the migrations.

Folks. I'm going to close this issue due to inactivity. We fixed a few migration-related problems since December. If you find any that are still present, please open another issue and we will take a look asap. Thank you!
