Nx: affected: all workspace projects are run when touching workspace.json

[Hotell]

Expected Behavior

nothing is being executed when touching files not defined within implicitDependencies

Current Behavior

nx.json

{
  "npmScope": "myproject",
  "implicitDependencies": {
    "package.json": {
      "dependencies": "*",
      "devDependencies": "*"
    },
    "tsconfig.json": "*",
    ".eslintrc.js": "*"
  }

If I generate new lib or manually touch workspace.json or nx.json all projects within workspace are run when executing affected

• Is workspace.json and nx.json now set as default implicitDep no matter what?
  
  
  
  • this is too bad as on every new lib/app generation, CI will have hard time :)

You can opt into more intelligent processing of changes to workspace.json and nx.json by removing theimplicitDependencies as you did.

If you generate a new lib, it should only affect the new generated lib. If you touch a field that's outside of projects though, it will affect everything. Such as removing the implicitDependencies from nx.json. You should commit those changes first. I got caught by this many times too. :wink:

@Hotell let me know if this fulfills your expected behavior.
