Could you provide a repro? (something we can run ng add on)

[tilowestermann]

@vsavkin I'm running into the same issue. Steps to reproduce:

ng new regularApp
cd regularApp
ng add @nrwl/schematics

Output:

Installing packages for tooling via npm.
+ @nrwl/[email protected]
added 44 packages in 8.916s

Cannot read property 'sourceRoot' of undefined

Environment:
Angular CLI: 6.1.5
Node: 8.11.4
Angular: 6.1.4

This is also the case for me, indicating that root is not defined

Hi,
We recommend to create a new Nx workspace with the following command:

create-nx-workspace myWorkspaceName

You can see more information on the official documentation here.

Please, could you point the source where you saw how to do it like that?
We have updated our doc few releases back but it seems to be a big source of confusion.

Closing the ticket since it is old.

@bcabanes I'm running into the same issue (as the others I need to add Nx to an existing application)
According to the documentation ...
"You can also add Nx capabilities to an existing CLI project by running:
ng add @nrwl/schematics
"
Angular CLI 7.0.4
Angular 7.0.2
nrwl/nx 7.0.0

Hello @bcabanes , why this issue was closed?
I'm facing the same issue, and is not when I create new workspace, but when trying to add nx capabilities to an existing CLI project, as @catellanir says, it's in the official documentation.

Same Problem: Cannot read property 'sourceRoot' of undefined

Angular CLI: 7.0.6
Node: 10.13.0
OS: darwin x64
Angular: 7.0.4

This issue related to camel case project name in angular.json and snake case project name in package.json

@vsavkin I'm running into the same issue. Steps to reproduce:

ng new regularApp
cd regularApp
ng add @nrwl/schematics

Output:

Installing packages for tooling via npm.
+ @nrwl/[email protected]
added 44 packages in 8.916s
Installed packages for tooling via npm.
Cannot read property 'sourceRoot' of undefined

Environment:
Angular CLI: 6.1.5
Node: 8.11.4
Angular: 6.1.4

Use small case for app creation will rectify this issue.
For Eg: ng new regular-app and then cd regular-app and ng add @nrwl/schematics

@spidermon thanks I amended my angular.json project name to match and it worked like a charm :)
