Allowing imports relative to the repository when building libraries via @nrwl/angular:package

[Misterion96]

Current Behavior

I used NX team's solution to create angular libraries @nrwl/angular:package

All libraries from the repository are published after each release, but are used mainly for building applications within the repository.

The problem became known when 1 of the libraries was installed in another repository.

It turns out that the generic type resolution creates a dynamic import that leads to objects inside the repository through Explorer, rather than leaving package references as expected. Because of this, any build outside the repository is impossible, since there is no dist directory that is specified in the library build.

I've created a test repository that can recreate this issue (link).

It also turned out that the native builder from the angular team @angular-devkit/build-angular:ng-packagr with the paths specified in tsconfig eliminates this problem and the paths in the build remain correct.

Expected Behavior

When building via @nrwl/angular:package, the paths between packages are not resolved through the explorer, but remain according to the import, as in the source files

Steps to Reproduce

1. nx build shared - will create the wrong case in the dist directory
2. nx native-build shared - will create the correct case in the dist directory

Thanks for reporting this!

This is an issue that has already been solved. Please update your Nx version to at least 15.1.1 (last version with Angular 14 if you need to stay on that Angular version) and the issue should be solved:

nx migrate 15.1.1
nx migrate --run-migrations

I tested the above in the provided repo, and the issue went away. I'm closing this since it has already been solved.
