Problematic command suggestion for nx 19 implicit name/root derive deprecation

[prewk]

Current Behavior

In nx 18, if I run

nx g @nx/angular:library shared/foo/bar

It'll create a library in libs/shared/foo/bar named shared-foo-bar with import path @acme/shared/foo/bar. Nx wants to deprecate this behavior and require explicit arguments, as evident by its suggestion:

In Nx 19, generating projects will no longer derive the name and root.
Please provide the exact project name and root in the future.
Example: nx g @nx/angular:library shared-foo-bar --directory libs/shared/foo/bar

Let's run the suggested command! Output:

In Nx 19, generating projects will no longer derive the name and root.
Please provide the exact project name and root in the future.
Example: nx g @nx/angular:library shared-foo-bar-shared-foo-bar --directory libs/shared/foo/bar/shared-foo-bar

CREATE libs/shared/foo/bar/shared-foo-bar/project.json
...

• The deprecation message is written again (doesn't matter of course) with errors in it
• It didn't create what I originally wanted, instead it created a shared-foo-bar inside of libs/shared/foo/bar
• It glosses over the import path

Expected Behavior

It seems the correct suggestion to achieve the same result would be:

yarn nx g @nx/angular:library bar --directory libs/shared/foo --importPath="@acme/shared/foo/bar"

Thanks for reporting this!

The suggested command is meant to be run with --projectNameAndRootFormat=as-provided. You should get a prompt asking whether to use the command "as provided" or "derived". The warning advises to choose the "as provided" format moving forward.

If you're not getting the prompt, then you probably have generator defaults set in the nx.json file, setting the option to derived. In that case, you need to explicitly provide the --projectNameAndRootFormat=as-provided.

A-ha! You're right. Thanks and sorry.
