I generated a week ago an angular project with nrwl/nx at that time I could generate libs and components and could start my project but right now I am getting the following error:

spawn ENAMETOOLONG

This error occurs whenever I am trying to run npm run start which runs nx serve right now. ng serve is not working either. I can run npm install but nothing to start my application. Here is my package.json if you need any other information I can provide it:

}

EDIT:

This happens when i am using nx reset and after that using nx serve again:

   Log file with the error: C:\Users\Hasan\OneDrive\Desktop\Moniesta-Projects\Moniesta-Combinatioon\moniesta-management\moniesta-admin\node_modules\.cache\nx\d\daemon-error.log
   Please file an issue at https://github.com/nrwl/nx
   Nx Daemon is going to be disabled until you run "nx reset".

In the Daemon log it just says the same error:

 NX   spawn ENAMETOOLONG
npm angular typescript node.js javascript

This error usually appears when you have too many uncommited files (in a range more than 700 or so in my experience). Commiting the files will usually solve the problem.

I just ran into the same issue. I did delete the node_modules folder manually, then re-installed everything with npm install. Also found that there is a new .angular folder in root folder, which was not present earlier. After deleting this folder entirely, I was able to run build again. Not really sure if running nx build once (which populates this folder again) you should not wipe it out once more.

I just ran into this issue. The solution that worked for me, I found it here

In my case, I was getting this error when running npm start, nx serve. After deleting the node_modules folder and running npm install, I found that running npm install was giving me this error too.

I had uncommitted changes on the branch. The error disappeared after committing the work.

I don't know why it's related to GIT but yes, having too many uncommitted files is the main cause of the problem.

I had the same issue and solve it like this:

First: Updating Nx to version 13.8.5. Do as below:

  1. Run command: nx migrate @nrwl/workspace@13.8.5
  2. Run command: npm install
  3. Run command: nx migrate --run-migrations
  4. Remove "migrations.json" file in nx workspace root directory

Second: Re-install npm globally based on nx version 13.8.5. Do as below:

  1. Run command: npm i -g nx@13.8.5
