nx generate @nx/plugin:executor ignores last folder name in given path

[jvskriubakken]

Current Behavior

Following the example here: https://nx.dev/extending-nx/recipes/local-executors

The command: nx generate @nx/plugin:executor
does not create sub-folder for as expected. Running it with --dry-run revels the following:

nx generate @nx/plugin:executor --path=nx-tools/azure/src/executors/artifact-upload --name=azure-artifact-upload --dry-run

 NX  Generating @nx/plugin:executor

CREATE nx-tools/azure/src/executors/artifact-upload.spec.ts
CREATE nx-tools/azure/src/executors/artifact-upload.ts
CREATE nx-tools/azure/src/executors/schema.d.ts
CREATE nx-tools/azure/src/executors/schema.json
UPDATE nx-tools/azure/package.json
CREATE nx-tools/azure/executors.json
UPDATE nx-tools/azure/eslint.config.mjs

However, if I write the last folder name twice, I get the expected output:

nx generate @nx/plugin:executor --path=nx-tools/azure/src/executors/artifact-upload/artifact-upload --name=azure-artifact-upload --dry-run

 NX  Generating @nx/plugin:executor

UPDATE nx-tools/azure/package.json

UPDATE nx-tools/azure/eslint.config.mjs

Expected Behavior

nx generate @nx/plugin:executor --path=nx-tools/azure/src/executors/artifact-upload --name=azure-artifact-upload --dry-run
