Nx console plugin for Webstorm not considering NX_DAEMON_SOCKET_DIR

[MarcusElevait]

Current Behavior

I've set the NX_DAEMON_SOCKET_DIR env variable and i started the nx daemon with nx daemon --start.
Following things are happening:

• socket file is created, but directly deleted again
• those logs are showing of:
  [NX Daemon Server] - 2024-04-25T08:20:46.858Z - Started listening on: /home/marcus/Projects/aicosy/.nx/d.sock [NX Daemon Server] - 2024-04-25T08:20:46.861Z - [WATCHER]: Subscribed to changes within: /home/marcus/Projects/aicosy (native) [NX Daemon Server] - 2024-04-25T08:20:46.863Z - Established a connection.

• running nx daemon gives the output: Nx Daemon is not running.

When disabling the nx console plugin in webstorm, everything works fine. Here is the output of the daemon log after disabling the plugin and restarting the daemon:

I'd expect that this does not happen :-D

Hey @MarcusElevait thanks for the report.
Are you setting the NX_DAEMON_SOCKET_DIR directly in the terminal?
If yes, there's no way for Nx Console to know what this inline env variable is set to. You should use a root .env file to set the env variable in a way that Nx Console can pick up as well. https://nx.dev/recipes/tips-n-tricks/define-environment-variables

Can you confirm that this issue persists even if you define it in this way?
