But nevertheless, output is written to apps/an-app and libs/a-lib.

Having similar issues when using ng generate app|etc in Windows 10 after yarn add @nrwl/schematics. My errors involved 'xargs' not being recognized. As mentioned, the expected files were written.

[vsavkin]

Could you provide a repro?

[dherges]

Hi Viktor @vsavkin,

here is the repository: https://github.com/dherges/nx-sandbox

It has been set up with the sandbox script (see above) on a Windows 7 64bit machine.

[vsavkin]

This should be fixed in @nrwl/schematics 0.0.7 (here the commit 0414e04).

If you update @nrwl/schematics and @nrwl/nx to 0.0.7, the issue should be resolved.

[YonatanKra]

Just posted an issue that a deeper look might be related: #960
My nx schematics are version 7.1.1
