Thanks for reporting. As a workaround and probably the intended way moving forward is to use @nx/node

So in your scenario it would be @nx/node:app --framework=express

[udaya-reddy]

Tried. that too. it does not generate package.json. even if I did a npm init and created one. npm install does not generate package-lock.json and whey I try to run nx run app:serve

nx run test1-service:serve:development

node:fs:600 handleErrorFromBinding(ctx); ^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'package-lock.json'
