nx 19.2.2 cannot build repo setup for incremental builds

[gkamperis]

Current Behavior

Instructions followed here do not work
https://nx.dev/recipes/angular/setup-incremental-builds-angular

further more I notice that there is a "tmp" folder created that seems to want to contain the built artefacts instead of the "dist" folder.

This used to work with nx 17 latest and 18 latest

Expected Behavior

The outcome of the described docs

GitHub Repo

https://github.com/gkamperis/nx-incremental-bug

Steps to Reproduce

1. clone the repo
2. run nx build my-app-m --parallel

incremental builds is quite an advertised feature of Nx
anything on this? has been 6weeks+ with a repro provided....

[gkamperis]

anyone care to comment? this even has a repro....

[gkamperis]

latest 19.5.7 still same!

Hi @gkamperis I apologise for the delay in a resolution to this issue. I'm taking a look at it now

[Coly010]

@gkamperis The workaround for now is to add the following in your targetDefaults in your nx.json

"build": {
   "dependsOn": ["^build"]
}
