How to use preserveLocalDependencyProtocols in nx 19.8.0?

[ccreusat]

Current Behavior

When versioning with pnpm, all local dependency version protocols are replaced by semantic versions.

nx release version --specifier prerelease --preid develop-rc --dry-run

// package.json

-     "@edifice.io/icons": "workspace:*",
+     "@edifice.io/icons": "2.0.0-develop-rc.5",

Expected Behavior

After checking in feat(release): allow local dependency version protocols to be preserved, pnpm publish support, I should be able to use preserveLocalDependencyProtocols when versioning dependencies.

I should be able to use this arg and version like this:

nx release version --specifier prerelease --preid develop-rc --dry-run --preserveLocalDependencyProtocols

Additional Information

Maybe I am misunderstanding the merged PR. I see preserveLocalDependencyProtocols in the declaration files and in packages/nx/src/command-line/release/version.ts interface but not in any options... so can't use it to configure with nx.json files or use it with the cli, something like:

nx release version --specifier prerelease --preid develop-rc --dry-run --preserveLocalDependencyProtocols

or

"version": {
      "preVersionCommand": "pnpm dlx nx run-many -t build",
      "conventionalCommits": true,
      "preserveLocalDependencyProtocols": true
}

hi @JamesHenry ! any help on this ? 🙏🏼

[JamesHenry]

It is a generator option

"version": {
  "generatorOptions": {
     ...
  }
}

Generator options are generic and each implementation provides its own so right now we can't add them to the schema, I am working on an outside the box solution for this.

We also need to document this option so I'll leave open to track that

Here is a real world example: https://github.com/angular-eslint/angular-eslint/blob/159658fcd5174728533877ff36dc091644a44944/nx.json#L46

@JamesHenry Damn! I'm sure I tried with the generatorOptions based on the schema .. but maybe I did it wrong 😅 I'll take a loot at this today. Thanks !

@JamesHenry working like a charm ! Thanks so much for this feature.

Great, as mentioned we still need to document it so I'd like to leave this open to track that
