`nx run api:serve` not working on project folder

[diegoholiveira]

Current Behavior

Trying to serve my app directly from the project folder, I got this error:

~/projects/prospera-nx/packages/apps/api % nx run api:serve

> nx run api:serve:development

✘ [ERROR] Cannot find tsconfig file "packages/apps/api/tsconfig.app.json"

✘ [ERROR] Invalid config file due to following: No inputs were found in config file 'tsconfig.json'. Specified 'include' paths were '["**/*"]' and 'exclude' paths were '[]'. [plugin nx-watch-plugin]

Expected Behavior

I expect the same behavior of running this command from the repository root:

~/projects/prospera-nx % nx run api:serve

> nx run api:serve:development

By default nx generator commands cwd are at the workspace level.
If you are changing that to a project you need to alter the project.json that points to files which are used by the said executor.

In your case you need to update the build executor from being workspace level to be relative to your project
For example
"tsConfig": "apps/nrwl/tsconfig.app.json",

should now be changed to
"tsConfig": "tsconfig.app.json",
