If you can provide steps to reproduce from scratch, that would be enormously appreciated (i.e. where the first step is npx create-nx-workspace@latest repro-workspace)

npx create-nx-workspace@latest ProjectName

• select option for creating angular project
• select scss for styling

Please provide any relevant information about your setup:

Little hint: My workaround was to remove my global yarn installation.

[vsavkin]

@gussi77 what version of yarn are you using?

@metrophos you could also update the version of yarn to >= 1.13.

[michael-letcher]

Updating my global Yarn package fixed it for me as @vsavkin suggested.

npm install -g yarn@latest

[lujakob]

My problem was yarn global list revealed a deprecated "@angular/[email protected]" - I updated the the latest and it worked.

Since v10.4 the we default to NPM, unless --package-manager flag is used when creating a new workspace. I suppose this will solve your issue, but feel free to reopen in case there is a problem.
