angular-nest app created with create-nx-workspace fails to run

[cichy380]

I just generated fresh app by command npx create-nx-workspace --preset=angular-nest. This operation installed Angular 13.2.0 and Nestjs 8.0.0. I did not found documentation about "how to start the applications" so I check package.json and use found stript "start".

Current Behavior

I want to run installed aplication, so I wrote npm start. Frontend application up, but on http://localhost:4200 I see only "Welcome to travelmaker-app!" and "Message: null" because API is dead.

Expected Behavior

I expected some script to start API or that API will start after command npm start

Steps to Reproduce

• npx create-nx-workspace --preset=angular-nest
• npm start

Failure Logs

In command line I see <e> [webpack-dev-server] [HPM] Error occurred while proxying request localhost:4200/api/hello to http://localhost:3333/ [ECONNREFUSED] (https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors)

This problem is with BUG which was fixed by pull request #9177

so, in Nx ver. 13.8.5 API can be run without problem

[Terminal 1]: npm run ng -- serve your-app-name or just npm run start
[Terminal 2]: npm run ng -- serve api

Hi,

I don't see how this PR fixes the issue you describe.

Seems to me a bit surprising to have the api failing on starting the just installed project.

How are we supposed to guess that we need to change scripts.start ?

nx run-many --target=serve --projects=my-app-name,api --parallel=2
