I had the same error. It seems to work for me when the command is executed inside a folder that is either empty, or contains only other nx workspaces.

Correction, it worked only because i deleted everything from the folder of the failed attempt, cd'ed into that directory and tryied it again:

$ npx create-nx-workspace test-nx # failure
$ rm -rf test-nx/*
$ cd test-nx
$ npx create-nx-workspace test-nx # success

I just got my dev env set up on a new machine and I'm seeing this same type of error in empty directories.

I've tried:

npx create-nx-workspace --preset=angular
npx create-nx-workspace@11 bc

fwiw the project does seem to actually be set up correctly - I can serve it after etc.

I tried this with 12.0.7 as well, and same issue.

Thank you for reporting the issue. I fixed it here: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/commit/d72569a5e603cf83404b2d43726b0a444ab27a8c

The error message was misleading.
