Unsure where to put this but for those of us using NX, you need a custom matcher for tsConfig.base.json and tsConfig.app.json

This works:

local function find_closest_file(match_strings, start_dir, depth)
    -- Initialize depth if not provided
    depth = depth or 0

    -- Maximum depth to prevent infinite recursion
    local max_depth = 10

    -- Determine the starting directory: current buffer's directory or provided start_dir
    start_dir = start_dir or vim.fn.expand('%:p:h') or vim.fn.getcwd()

    -- Log the attempt and depth

    -- Base case: if maximum depth is reached, stop the search
    if depth > max_depth then
        return nil
    end

    -- Iterate over the array of match strings and construct the find command
    for _, match_string in ipairs(match_strings) do
        local command = string.format("find '%s' -type f -name '*%s*' -maxdepth 1", start_dir, match_string)
        local handle = io.popen(command)
        local result = handle:read("*a")
        handle:close()

        -- Split the result into lines (files)
        local files = {}
        for line in result:gmatch("[^\r\n]+") do
            table.insert(files, line)
        end

        -- If a file is found, return its path
        if #files > 0 then
            return files[1] -- Return the first matching file path
        end
    end

    -- No file found, move to the parent directory and repeat the search
    local parent_dir = vim.fn.fnamemodify(start_dir, ':h')
    if parent_dir == start_dir then
        -- If the parent directory is the same as the current directory, we're at the root
        return nil
    else
        -- Recursive call to search in the parent directory, incrementing the depth
        return find_closest_file(match_strings, parent_dir, depth + 1)
    end
end

return find_closest_file

-----EXAMPLE USEAGE------ local find_closest_file = require("path-from-lua-root-to-the-file-where-you-saved-the-above-function") local output = find_closest_file({'tsConfig.app.json', tsConfig.base.json'}) return output in your 'project' function

Sweet this look good to me, it's been a few years since I've used Nx, but i'd be more than happy to accept a pr for this - or if you could even provide a Nx repo where TSC does not work that I could test on
