Generate library module creates a about nx

You are using a wrong version of the CLI in your package.json. You must use a patched version there.

Could you provide a repro?

I've hit it as well, it doesn't matter whether you're generating a new lib or app. Repro steps:

echo '{"packageManager": "yarn"}' >~/.angular-cli.json
yarn global add @angular/cli@next # installs CLI 1.5.0-rc.3
ng new foo-bar
cd foo-bar
yarn add @nrwl/schematics --dev # installs @nrwl/schematics 0.0.7
ng generate workspace app1 --collection=@nrwl/schematics
ng generate app app2

This creates the following directory structure:

apps
├── app1
│   ├── e2e
│   │   ├── app.e2e-spec.ts
│   │   └── app.po.ts
│   └── src
│       ├── app

I had this issue also. I noticed in .angular-cli.json one of my libraries included path to app1:

  "root": "libs\\lib1\\apps\\app1\\src",

After deleting this (I'm not sure when or how it was added)

  "root": "libs\\lib1\\src",

generate works normally.

ng g s abc -a lib1 -d
  create libs/lib1/src/abc.service.spec.ts (356 bytes)
  create libs/lib1/src/abc.service.ts (109 bytes)

Can confirm this still happens with Angular 5.0.0

I have this issue as well, only happens on existing cli projects that were upgraded to a workspace. Originally created workspaces work fine.

[vsavkin]

The issue is because you are using an unpatched version of the CLI. We point to the patched version of the CLI for this very reason. See here for more info: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/wiki/FAQ

For those reading this and trying to figure out, simply modify your @angular/cli devDependencies: to look like this:
"@angular/cli": "file:.angular_cli.tgz",

The .angular_cli.tgz is generated by upgrading angular cli app to a workspace.
