Error: Cannot find module '@angular/build/package.json'

[johanndev]

I wanted to try the new version via the instructions posted on twitter

System information:

I'm getting the same error on Windows 11 and Ubuntu 23.10. (via WSL). I'm using node 22 on both machines.

Steps to reproduce

1. npx -y create-nx-workspace@latest acme --preset=apps (No CI or remote caching enabled)
2. cd acme
3. npm install -D @ng-rspack/nx @ng-rspack/build --legacy-peer-deps
   This produces the error:

npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm warn deprecated glob@7.2.3: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported

Interesting 🤔 I’ll need to check the package deps for build. It should have brought @angular/build with it.

I also can’t reproduce this on macOS without —legacy-peer-deps so that could be related

I've run into this a couple times, rm -rf node_modules and reinstalling seems to resolve it. I have no idea what the source of the issue is.
