Vite Build Executor: outDir

[bhidalgo-apolitical]

Current Behavior

Hi! When using the @nx/vite:build executor and specifying the outputPath, we've noticed that the files are not being generated inside of the workspace, but instead at the root of our repository. This is our target config:

"vite-target": {
      "executor": "@nx/vite:build",
      "options": {
        "outputPath": "apps/web-app/public/static",
        "configFile": "apps/web-app/vite.config.ts",
        "generatePackageJson": false
      }
    },

To add a bit more context, our repo structure contains multiple monorepos inside of it, each of them stored in its own folder. The following tree serves as an example:

.
├── backend
│   └── v2
│       ├── apps
│       │   ├── api-service
│       │   └── worker
│       ├── nx.json
│       └── package.json
└── frontend
    └── v2
        ├── apps
        │   ├── web-app
        │   └── admin-panel
        ├── nx.json
        └── package.json

We've also configured frontend's build to depend on the target shown above, so when we run pnpm build web-app vite should run. As such we couldn't switch to inferred tasks, as we're not explicitly running that target.

The problem lies in the fact that when we build our web-app, the vite-target is generating the output at the root of the repo: ./apps/-web-app/public/static instead of generating it at frontend/v2/apps/web-app/public/static.

We're experiencing that behaviour since we upgraded both Nx and all of the dependencies from v19.3.1 to v20.7.2. As we were experiencing that issue, we've swapped to use nx:run-command and explicitly call vite from there, but we'd like to stuck using the vite executor:

"vite-target": {
      "executor": "nx:run-commands",
      "options": {
        "cwd": "apps/web-app",
        "command": "vite build --config viteconfig.ts"
      }
    },

Expected Behavior

When outDir is specified at the executor, I'd expect it creates the files at ${workspaceRoot}/${outDir} path.
