[Bug] nx generate @nstudio/angular:component with Electron target freezes

[s0l4r]

Possible bug detected..

When running this command all is ok (NS and Web):

nx generate @nstudio/angular:component --name=product --createBase --platforms=nativescript,web--dry-run

CREATE libs/xplat/features/src/lib/ui/base/product.base-component.ts
CREATE libs/xplat/nativescript/features/src/lib/ui/components/product/product.component.html
CREATE libs/xplat/nativescript/features/src/lib/ui/components/product/product.component.ts
CREATE libs/xplat/web/features/src/lib/ui/components/product/product.component.html
CREATE libs/xplat/web/features/src/lib/ui/components/product/product.component.ts
UPDATE libs/xplat/features/src/lib/ui/base/index.ts
UPDATE libs/xplat/nativescript/features/src/lib/ui/components/index.ts
UPDATE libs/xplat/web/features/src/lib/ui/components/index.ts
UPDATE angular.json

But when running this with Electron as well, it seems to get stuck in an endless loop somewhere (CPU goes to 100%):

nx generate @nstudio/angular:component --name=product --createBase --platforms=nativescript,web,electron --dry-run

The problems seems to be in the target platform Electron:

nx generate @nstudio/angular:component --name=product --createBase --platforms=electron --dry-run

After playing around a bit with Xplat, my understanding is that this should not be possible to run at all, since the web app is running with a target in Electron. Maybe it's a good idea to disable that platform target when generating features and components in Xplat.

Thanks for this note, correct - the component would be generated for the web app since Electron target is just a shell for any web app target in the workspace. Good idea to disable the electron platform when using component generator.
