Cannot find module '@angular-devkit/schematics'

[YogliB]

Current Behavior

I'm using pnpm with nx and having some trouble generating suing third party generators.
I'm getting an error the some @angular/* dependencies are missing.

It seems that @nrwl/workspace depends on some angular packages that aren't listed in its package.json.

As far as I know, this could be an issue for pnpm because of how it works.

Expected Behavior

No error should happen, and the generator should run.

Steps to Reproduce

npm i -g pnpm@5
pnpx create-nx-workspace --package-manager=pnpm
pnpm add -D @nxext/sveltekit
pnpm nx g @nxext/sveltekit:app

The issue is also present for non angular workspaces. We're using only devkit/workspace packages and once we import anything from workspace package it throws reported error.

What's the issue?

@nrwl/workspace still uses internally angular-devkit, (ast-utils file), and because it's not provided 8n package dependencies, consumers are forced to instal angular devkit manually.

Fix:
We need to add angular-devkit to workspace package does

I can send PR if that's ok with you folks @FrozenPandaz @brandonroberts

Cheers

Still get this issue on 13.10.2, have to manually add @angular-devkit/schematics to my devDependencies

Hi, this is still happening in 13.10.5.

The @nrwl/workspace/src/utils/ast-utils.js seems to be the cause of the issue.
