It should figure out that it should use @nx/workspace:move automatically, as it used to do before.

@alexandr2110pro I am checking if I am gonna face the same issue with npm manager. If so, I will try to fix it.

Hmmm @alexandr2110pro I cannot reproduce the issue. My setup is:

nx report

 NX   Report complete - copy this into the issue template

And it works

@alexandr2110pro Maybe this is releted to your OS?

If you could debug it a little bit more:

in this file: node_modules/nx/src/command-line/generate/generate.js near line number 80 put console.log like this:

    if (choicesFromLocalPlugins.length) {
        choicesFromLocalPlugins[choicesFromLocalPlugins.length - 1].message += '\n';
    }
    console.log('deprecatedChoices', deprecatedChoices);
    console.log('choicesFromLocalPlugins', choicesFromLocalPlugins);
    console.log('choicesMap', choicesMap);
    const choices = choicesFromLocalPlugins.concat(...choicesMap);
    if (choices.length === 1) {
        return typeof choices[0] === 'string' ? choices[0] : choices[0].value;
    }
    else if (!interactive && choices.length > 1) {
        throwInvalidInvocation(Array.from(choicesMap));
    }

Have you tries to clean-up the repo? nx reset or just remove .nx folder

Could you please provide a repo where this occurs? This is working fine here in the nx repo.

Hey there. It turned out the @nx/workspace package wasn't installed. I don't know why—I think I've used Nx generators only to create a monorepo and all the libraries in it. I believe previously, when you did it like that, it used to install the workspace package.

The problem went away when I installed it.

[alexandr2110pro]

What is more interesting, that nx report printed the @nx/workspace but it wasn't in the package.json
