Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir on build default project

[wizardnet972]

Current Behavior

Nx runs unnecessary build to defaultProject (nx.json) when affected:libs returns "workspace". If I have defaultProject I got an error:

Warning: bundle initial exceeded maximum budget. Budget 500.00 kB was not met by 55.84 kB with a total of 555.84 kB.

Unexpected error:
[Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir '/Users/wizardnet972/code/nx-repo/node_modules/.cache/nx/d0432d082f39baf22e4b7a034c702ff9969651c2a5a56dc58172c62528eb8e0b/outputs/dist/out-tsc'] {
  errno: -17,

}
error Command failed with exit code 1.

I run build on app-a and app-b (run-many) but the default is app-c.

Expected Behavior

if I don't have defaultProject then no build should run.

maybe wherever you create a folder in dist, check before if they exist?

@FrozenPandaz Hey :) I'm still trying to reproduce this issue. I think it's happened because of resource collision.

I debug the nx code though run-many.js and I found out that something is failed in finally section: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/4b21ab9502f8fcc4c20db3478adcb7aa5f7a934a/packages/workspace/src/tasks-runner/default-tasks-runner.ts#L60

so the error caught in the catch section: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/4b21ab9502f8fcc4c20db3478adcb7aa5f7a934a/packages/workspace/src/tasks-runner/default-tasks-runner.ts#L56

Not yet sure why.

But as far I can see I add project.json to the root project and add the entry in workspace.json.

When I run yarn nx run-many --target build --all, nx detect also "workspace" project. which triggers to build of the default project.

So I think because nx run the commands in parallel the resources of the cache/directory is occupied (in use/exist).

Think about this, I build every project including the default project. also nx build the workspace project which is the default project in parallel. same cache same files and directory.

Maybe the affected and the graph workspace should not build the default project. also what if I don't have a default project?

I had this problem for months. I will appreciate your help in this matter :)
