NX_VERSION_CHANGED for format:write without any further text

[ThePlenkov]

Current Behavior

I mirgrated to a new NX version using nx migrate latest including post-install and run-migrations.

At same time I'm using following husky hook which just worked perfectly:

# .husky/pre-commit
nx format:write --uncommitted --verbose
git update-index --again

So now when I try to commit a change I have some weird error:

> git -c user.useConfigOnly=true commit --quiet --allow-empty-message --file -

 NX   NX_VERSION_CHANGED


husky - pre-commit script failed (code 1)

If I run nx format:write command separately - it just works. So it does not work from inside the hook.

Unfortunately --verbose flag is useless. nx reset also doesn't not help. Using npx nx also doesn't change anything. Please help!

Expected Behavior

Well nx should work also from git hooks and it should not be impacted by a version change.

I think this check is not working well. Also would be nice even if it's error to have more meaningful explanation

Steps to Reproduce

Not sure if you can. But try this.

• init repo, install nx 19.6.5 ( it's what i had )
• install husky, add hook as mentioned above, commit.
• migrate to latest nx
• commit again

That's what i did..

So it's funny, i was able to solve this issue by adding nx reset into my hook!

So I tried many time to run nx reset and npx nx reset from the project root - but it had no impact on the hook execution

[ThePlenkov]

Actually after few more issues i figured out that just needed to disable daemon:

# .husky/pre-commit
NX_DAEMON=false nx format:write --uncommitted
git update-index --again

[ThePlenkov]

However I'd like still to keep this issue open in a hope that someone from nx team can check why daemon in a hook is different from a daemon in a root package and NX_VERSION_CHANGED error occurs
