Can't import library from tools (generator)

[jase88]

Current Behavior

If I import a library from my workspace (e.g. @my-workspace/utils) on my generator

my-generator.ts

import { Tree } from '@nrwl/devkit';
import { sayHello } from '@my-workspace/utils';

export default async function (host: Tree, schema: any) {
  console.log(sayHello(schema.name));
}

I get an error:

Cannot find module 'C:\src\nx-pnpm\dist\out-tsc\generators\my-generator'
Require stack:
- C:\src\nx-pnpm\node_modules\.pnpm\registry.npmjs.org\@nrwl\tao\11.2.12\node_modules\@nrwl\tao\src\shared\workspace.js
- C:\src\nx-pnpm\node_modules\.pnpm\registry.npmjs.org\@nrwl\tao\11.2.12\node_modules\@nrwl\tao\src\commands\generate.js
- C:\src\nx-pnpm\node_modules\.pnpm\registry.npmjs.org\@nrwl\tao\11.2.12\node_modules\@nrwl\tao\index.js

Expected Behavior

I'm able to import a library to a generator without receiving an error
