ENOTDIR: not a directory, stat 'workspace.json/node_modules'

[wSedlacek]

When attempting to run the nx.generate command from the command palette the following error message is thrown.

Command 'Nx: generate' resulted in an error (A system error occurred (ENOTDIR: not a directory, stat 'workspace.json/node_modules'))

macOS 12.0.1
vscode 1.63.1
nx-console 17.13.1

Error does not occur on 17.12.4

I believe the issue is at one of these locations it has the path to workspace.json rather than the root of the workspace.

nx-console/libs/vscode/tasks/src/lib/select-generator.ts

Line 66 in 630ac6e

const nodeModulesDir = join(workspacePath, 'node_modules');

nx-console/libs/server/src/lib/utils/read-collections.ts

Line 14 in 630ac6e

const nodeModulesDir = join(workspacePath, 'node_modules');

nx-console/libs/server/src/lib/utils/read-projects.ts

Line 64 in e193eb8

path.join(basedir, 'node_modules')

nx-console/apps/vscode/src/main.ts

Line 93 in 630ac6e

if (!(await directoryExists(join(workspacePath, 'node_modules')))) {

now this one is a thinker.. There's only two places that set the workspace path that's stored in the Workspace configuration:

nx-console/apps/vscode/src/main.ts

Line 198 in 630ac6e

WorkspaceConfigurationStore.instance.set('nxWorkspacePath', workspacePath);

and

nx-console/apps/vscode/src/main.ts

Line 228 in 630ac6e

WorkspaceConfigurationStore.instance.set('nxWorkspacePath', workspacePath);

The function that did call this was changed recently, but it still only sets the directory instead of the json file.

Do you have a repo that I can look at to reproduce this somehow?

potentially fixed with #1199 where it will release as 17.13.2

This occurs on any Nx repo, including this one, at least for me.
Simply open the command palette (CMD + SHIFT + P) then type nx and select Nx: generate and the error occurs right away.

I cloned the repo and built from master locally and the issue was still occurring.

I used git bisect and this is the commit it spit out

[630ac6e] feat: use nx utils to read all configuration files (#1184)

[Cammisuli]

I suspected it was that commit. Thanks for your help!

[Cammisuli]

Please check out 17.13.2 and let me know if that doesn't work. If I don't get a rely back, then I can sleep at night 😅

[wSedlacek]

Ay, it's working again!

Thank you very much!
