Barrel file missing? Importing @nx/angular/src/utils results in "Cannot find module" error

[timtos]

Current Behavior

Writing a custom nx generator I am trying to import the angular utility addProviderToComponent:

import { addProviderToComponent } from '@nx/angular/src/utils';

Unfortunately, I am getting an error:

Cannot find module '@nx/angular/src/utils' or its corresponding type declarations.ts(2307)

The generator is running happily but the build throws an error.

Please also have a look at the "Additional Information" provided at the bottom.

Expected Behavior

There should be no error and it should be easy to use this helper function.

Steps to Reproduce

Try to use addProviderToComponent within a generator:

const componentPath = 'apps/my-app/src/app/app.component.ts';
const text = tree.read(componentPath);
const sourceX = ts.createSourceFile(componentPath, text.toString(), ts.ScriptTarget.Latest, true);
addProviderToComponent(tree, sourceX, componentPath, 'MyProvider');

Nx Report (custom)

Cannot run the nx report due to an invalid token in my path:
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\T├╝m...

But I am using version:

"nx": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/angular": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/cypress": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/eslint": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/eslint-plugin": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/devkit": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/js": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/plugin": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/storybook": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/web": "~18.0.7",
"@nx/workspace": "~18.0.7",

Operating System

Additional Information

In the folder @nx\angular\src\utils I see the file public-api.d.ts with the following content:

export { isStandalone, addImportToComponent, addImportToDirective, addImportToPipe, addImportToModule, addProviderToBootstrapApplication, addProviderToAppConfig, addProviderToComponent, addProviderToModule, } from './nx-devkit/ast-utils';
export { addRoute, addProviderToRoute } from './nx-devkit/route-utils';

If I place an index.ts file in the same location with the same content, everything works as expected.

Is there an index.ts file missing?
Is there another way to import this functionality?
