Targets in targetDefaults (nx.json) won't run

[raketeFlo]

Current Behavior

I created a targetDefault for lint for all my modules in the nx.json to reduce repetitive configuration as mentioned in your recipes:

{
  "targetDefaults": {
    "lint": {
      "executor": "@nx/linter:eslint",
      "outputs": ["{options.outputFile}"],
      "options": {
        "lintFilePatterns": ["{projectRoot}/**/*.{ts,tsx,js,jsx}"],
        "quiet": true
      }
    }
  },
}

I removed the target in the project.json of the app-shell module. When I run nx run lint cart I receive the following error: Cannot find configuration for task cart:lint

Expected Behaviour

According to the docs it should run the targetDefault which is defined in the nx.json.

You must include at least a "lint": {} in your project.json to signify that the project should have a lint target.

Example: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/master/packages/nx/project.json#L101

Does that make sense?

[raketeFlo]

Thank you @FrozenPandaz. That worked. I will correct it in your recipes page then and submit a PR, because it is shown without any target in the project.json which is not working.
