Is there a specific documentation page you are reporting?

https://nx.dev/core-tutorial/01-create-blog

Additional context or description

After following all the steps in the page, the build and serve commands both fail with Cannot find project 'blog' is there any step missing?

I tried adding { "blog": "packages/blog"} to the projects property of workspace.json but then I got different errors about missing files. So if that's the way, there's more missing configuration.

Encountered the same issue. If you delete workspace.json it works as expected.

The docs state that: The workspace.json file in the root directory is optional. It's used if you want to list the projects in your workspace explicitly instead of Nx scanning the file tree for all project.json and package.json files..

It seems that either the tutorial should be updated to mention adding 'blog' to workspace.json or generating shouldn't create that file by default.

The npm preset shouldn't create a workspace.json file, hence the assumption that project inference would be active. Can you confirm npx create-nx-workspace@latest --preset npm is creating a workspace.json file?

Yes, I just copy/pasted that command and there is a workspace.json in the created project.

I can also verify I am having the same result.

yeap this command create the workpkace.json. Should tell in the tutorial to remove it or not create it in the first place.

Thanks
