nx console generator path argument bug

[jonesp1]

We have our own generators and they used to work, but they don't anymore, it looks like some package updates is causing the problem

When we run this command pnpm exec nx generate @nx:library --name=test --no-interactive --verbose

TypeError: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received undefined at validateString (node:internal/validators:162:11) at join (node:path:1175:7) at Object.

hey can you provide the nx report like the bug template asks? Are you using powershell to execute the generators?

[jonesp1]

Yes here is the report; I am running Windows, and using Bash to run the script, and the NX console to run the generator, I tried both

Report complete - copy this into the issue template

Node : 20.11.1 OS : linux-x64 pnpm : 9.0.6

nx (global) : 18.3.4 nx : 19.2.3 @nx/js : 19.2.3 @nx/jest : 19.2.3 @nx/linter : 19.2.3 @nx/eslint : 19.2.3 @nx/workspace : 19.2.3 @nrwl/workspace : 17.2.0 @nx/devkit : 19.2.3 @nrwl/devkit : 17.2.8 @nx/esbuild : 19.2.3 @nx/node : 19.2.3 @nx/playwright : 19.2.3 @nx/plugin : 19.2.3 @nx/react : 19.2.3 @nrwl/tao : 19.2.3 @nx/vite : 19.2.3 @nx/web : 19.2.3 @nx/webpack : 19.2.3 typescript : 5.4.5

Community plugins: @nx-aws-plugin/nx-aws-cache : 3.2.1 @nx-extend/pulumi : 6.2.0

Local workspace plugins: @wats-nx

The following packages should match the installed version of nx

• @nrwl/workspace@17.2.0
• @nrwl/devkit@17.2.8

To fix this, run nx migrate nx@19.2.3

Thanks for the nx report. I mean when you use Nx Console to run the generator, which terminal is it run in? Is it bash? You can look at the shell being used by hovering over the side in VSCode

You can read more about the integrated terminals here and on how to configure bash or cmd or powershell. RIght now we are aware of a bug with using powershell https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/profiles

[jonesp1]

Yes it is bash I run it in

Looks like this is duplicated of https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/26470, which may contain more useful information.

Thanks @ffMathy! I'll close this as a duplicate.
