TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'defaultProject')

[ryanbas21]

its weird, seems when I debug locally the nxJson argument is undefined.

However my version (latest nx) is not officially supported right now by this plugin. 15.6.3.

So i'm going to guess 15.6.3 is the cause of this problem as its not officially supported and i've seen some issues along the lines of getting this plugin in line with the newer nx releases. I created this issue because i had not seen this error itself anywhere.

For what its worth, nx.json does have a defaultProject key in this case. its just an undefined argument in this method of the Workspaces class here which is in Nx itself not this plugin but maybe it helps:

     calculateDefaultProjectName(cwd, projects, nxJson) {
        const relativeCwd = this.relativeCwd(cwd);
        if (relativeCwd) {
            const matchingProject = Object.keys(projects.projects).find((p) => {
                const projectRoot = projects.projects[p].root;
                return (relativeCwd == projectRoot ||
                    relativeCwd.startsWith(`${projectRoot}/`));
            });
            if (matchingProject)
                return matchingProject;
        }
        console.log('json?', nxJson)
        return nxJson.defaultProject;
    }

Let me try to understand. You have a project on 15.6.3, and it's failing, right?

This is correct

[dianjuar]

@ryanbas21 I understand. Currently, on #470 we are working to have a solution.

[dianjuar]

@ryanbas21 The potential fix is deployed under ngx-deploy-npm@5.0.0.

Let us know if V5 solves your problem.

I need help understanding the problem that you are facing.

Recently we published (v5) to support more comprehensive versions of nx. I initially thought that was your problem, but I wonder if it is.

Can you provide this information to understand your case better:

I'm running into this issue as well. I have tried debugging for a bit but looking into other options.

@mogulx-operates, can you please fill in the above list to try to reproduce your error?

@mogulx-operates, can you please fill in the above list to try to reproduce your error?

Meh, moving on. Try to publish a package with the latest version of nx and you'll reproduce the error.

• Node: v16.18.0
• npx create-nx-workspace@15.7.2 preset-ts --preset=ts
• npx nx@15.7.2 generate @nrwl/js:library vite-swc --unitTestRunner=vitest --bundler=vite --compiler=swc --directory=web --publishable --importPath=vite-swc
• npm install --save-dev ngx-deploy-npm
• nx generate ngx-deploy-npm:install
• build vite-swc
• Run publish on vite-swc (assumes there's something to publish)

UPDATE: this works if you're just looking to publish javascript packages.

I lied this works with this configuration. I'll spin up a repo with this working "workspace" and a workspace that repros.

We are closing the issue. There needs to be more information to reproduce it.

I assume your current Nx version has a bug with the nrwl/dev-kit (dependency of ngx-deploy-npm). We recently closed an issue due to the same reason
