Nx: I still get error while creating a workspace.

[arindamdawn]

I still get error while creating a workspace.
I am using Windows 64 bit machine and tried using both cmd as well as powershell but got the same error. Is this a system-specific issue?
Here is the error message:

The system cannot find the path specified.

Hi @arindamdawn, thanks for raising this issue. Can you provide a little more info? What exact command are you running here?

What versions of npm and node do you have?

[arindamdawn]

The command that I am running is npx create-nx-workspace@latest myorg

My node version is 10.16.0
My npm version is 6.13.0

Sorry, @arindamdawn I can't replicate this. I think @FrozenPandaz came across something similar recently though - it may have something to do with the way double quotes are handled in certain versions of powershell.

Can you try running this in cmd instead?

[arindamdawn]

Hi, @jdpearce I tried this in cmd as well. However, I get the same error. Here is an attached screenshot

As an alternative, can I create a fresh angular project using angular cli and then add '@nrwl/workspace'. Then add the other necessary packages for frontend and backend?

I get very similar behaviour, just trying to create my 1st workspace

Windows 10 x64
command line run : npx create-nx-workspace@latest algotec-web-workspace
answered 'empty' and 'Angular CLI" to the prompts

I tried to install @nrwl/workspace globally first (using npm i -g) and then it worked.
I guess you forgot to add this to the dependencies

[jdpearce]

This actually sounds like it could be an npx issue. Possibly related to this? https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17869

[markgoho]

I was getting a similar error -- it turned out I had some existing (older) @angular dependencies in the project folder where I was trying to create a new workspace. I removed them all, re-ran the command and it worked perfectly.

I'm having the same issue, has there been any possible solutions?
