nx.json and workspace.json are out of sync

[NathanWalker]

A race condition can cause this to occur when calling externalSchematic in a chain with schematics.
If you encounter this you might share the commands you ran which led to it as we are investigating the condition.

I saw the same issue as Chau and figured I'd create a Dockerfile that illustrates it (also to make sure it's nothing machine related)

If you save this content in a file cakked Dockerfile, then run docker build ., the error will appear:

RUN nx generate @nstudio/xplat:application native --platforms nativescript  --routing

RUN nx ios nativescript-native

This is fixed in 11.0.18 now with standard instructions (no need to init platforms):

npx create-nx-workspace@latest

npm install @nstudio/xplat -D

nx generate app

Also, if you're curious with Electron you can generate electron app by targeting any web app in workspace, for example:

nx g app tasks

Choose 'web' to create a standard web app in workspace.

Now you can target it for electron:

nx g app desktop --target=web-tasks

Choose 'electron' to create it, then run npm install to ensure the electron dependencies all get installed.

You'll see the run command print out at top of generation but you can start it given example above with:

npm run start.electron.desktop

[m-kashif]

i will recommend to change following from from ng with nx
"build.electron.desktop": "yarn run prepare.electron.desktop && ng build electron-desktop --prod --base-href ./",

"build.electron.desktop": "yarn run prepare.electron.desktop && nx build electron-desktop --prod --base-href ./",

i was getting error The build command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found.

and also need to add -c.electronVersion=11.1.0 -c.asar=true
for building of windows version

"build.electron.desktop.windows": "yarn run build.electron.desktop && cd dist/apps/electron-desktop && npx electron-builder build -c.electronVersion=11.1.0 -c.asar=true --windows",

without this change was getting below error
Cannot compute electron version from installed node modules - none of the possible electron modules are installed.
See electron-userland/electron-builder#3984 (comment)
error Command failed with exit code 1.
