Unable to write a reference to

[bjornharvold]

Current Behavior

Since about 10 days ago or less, all newly created libraries cannot be referenced from other libraries. It's like they are missing something. I have run diffs on all configuration files between old and newly created modules and they all look identical.

Expected Behavior

Modules should compile successfully. All older modules interoperate fine. Every new module I create now builds fine but cannot be referenced by other modules.

Steps to Reproduce

I created a repo with parts from our latest codebase. I created 2 modules in this repo with the same versions in my package.json as in my real repo. One module references the other: Github repo that reproduces error

1. Run yarn install
2. Run nx build geo-name-util-geo-name-pipes to make sure you successfully build the dependency
3. Run nx build geo-name-feature-geo-name that is dependent on the previous module. This will fail.

Failure Logs

Unable to write a reference to GeoNameProvincePipe in /Users/crash/Desktop/dep/libs/geo-name/util-geo-name-pipes/src/lib/geo-name-province-pipe/geo-name-province.pipe.ts from /Users/crash/Desktop/dep/libs/geo-name/util-geo-name-pipes/src/lib/geo-name-util-geo-name-pipes.module.ts

Check the name property in the package.json of the library you are importing - it might not match the path in your root tsconfig.base.json. In my case the name property in the package.json was @scope/subdomain-util-lib-name while the path I was using to import was @scope/subdomain/util/lib-name.

Hi @TheophileSketo

That's exactly what it is. New libraries are created incorrectly.

Instead of @iko/shared/util-pipes it creates @iko/shared-util-pipes.

We are not creating libraries any differently than we did before. This started recently.

Don't know if related. There is a warning that's been coming up in the later versions of nx.dev:

"util-options" schema is using the keyword "id" which its support is deprecated. Use "$id" for schema ID.
"SchematicsLibrary" schema is using the keyword "id" which its support is deprecated. Use "$id" for schema ID.
"SchematicsAngularModule" schema is using the keyword "id" which its support is deprecated. Use "$id" for schema ID.
"SchematicsAngularComponent" schema is using the keyword "id" which its support is deprecated. Use "$id" for schema ID.
"SchematicsAngularService" schema is using the keyword "id" which its support is deprecated. Use "$id" for schema ID.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

There was an issue where the generated package name format was not in sync with what was added to the tsconfig.base.json. This was fixed in #6429 and released as part of version 12.6.0. Also, a migration to fix any wrongly generated library was merged in #6902 and released as part of version 12.9.0.

By migrating to the latest version, this issue should be solved. If you can't migrate to the latest version at this point, please make sure your library package name matches the path mapping in the tsconfig.base.json.

I'm closing this one since a fix has been merged and released. If you still have issues after updating, please feel free to reopen this issue or create a new one.
