Hi there, I am in the process of updating my Angular app from v14 to v17. One step I am taking while doing this is to upgrade angular-datatables. Upon running ng add angular-datatables I get an error related to undefined options. Here is the full terminal log:

PS C:\Users\IM010907\Documents\git\Dashboard\ID_Client> npm run add-datatables

> icm@1.0.0 add-datatables
> ng add angular-datatables

I have tried...

I made a StackOverflow issue and there was one person saying it is possibly related to NX

I did notice in the source code that the parsing to add to angular.json seems to be somewhat assuming only one project? It has the 0 indexing to make this work, but doesn't allow the user to choose what project to build from. I think this is causing my issue, as my first project.architect doesn't use the build property image

The issue was that I have multiple projects, angular.json seemed to be ordered alphabetically automatically, but my main project (the one with build options) was not at index 0. Because of this, the line I highlighted above accesses a project that only needed lint and test configuration. This was causing the error that I was getting. Upon moving my main project to the top, I was able to add angular data-tables as intended.
