Additional Information

If I try to manually install the missing module with npm i @angular-devkit/core -D and try to build, I get a new error:

 >  NX   Cannot find module '@angular-devkit/architect'

   Require stack:
   - /workspaces/enroll-fe/node_modules/nx/src/adapter/ngcli-adapter.js
   - /workspaces/enroll-fe/node_modules/nx/src/command-line/run.js
   - /workspaces/enroll-fe/node_modules/nx/bin/run-executor.js
   Pass --verbose to see the stacktrace.

and I install that package via npm i @angular-devkit/architect -D the build succeeds!

I got exactly the same problem when updating from Nx 14.8 to Nx 15

[gerardcastell]

I just found a solution, I realised that I had the "@nrwl/angular" and "nrwl/nx-cloud" packages in the "dependencies" section within the package.json instead of in the "devDependencies" dictionary. I have moved and run rm -rf node_modules && npm i and then the build worked! Hope it help you 🙌

I did have @nrwl/angular in my dependencies array, and I've moved it, but I'm curious how it got there to begin with

Thanks for reporting this!

This was fixed on https://github.com/nrwl/nx/pull/14723 and the change will be released in the upcoming 15.7.0 release.

I did have @nrwl/angular in my dependencies array, and I've moved it, but I'm curious how it got there to begin with

The @nrwl/angular plugin contains some runtime code (data persistence, module federation helpers, etc.) that workspaces can use. That's why by default the plugin is added to the dependencies entry, just in case the runtime code is being used. You're free to move it to devDependencies if you don't depend on it at runtime.

I'm going to close this issue since it has been addressed. Please keep an eye on the releases to get the fix.
