I have a monorepo with client and server projects.

My root project.json

{
  "name": "generic-social-network",
  "targets": {
    "client": {
      "command": "nx dev client"
    },
    "server": {
      "command": "nx dev server --exclude client"
    },
    "undefined": {
      "command": "nx server"
    }
  },
  "title": "generic-social-network"
}

./src/server/project.json

{
  "name": "server",
  "$schema": "../../node_modules/nx/schemas/project-schema.json",
  "title": "server",
  "targets": {
    "undefined": {
      "command": "nx dev server"
    },
    "dev": {
      "command": "nest start --watch"
    },
    "build": {
      "command": "nest build"
    },
...

In the root folder when I run npx nx the . directory resolves to the root folder not ./src/server as I would expect.

If I run nest start --watch in ./src/server everything compiles with no problems.

So, my question is, how do I tell nest to look in ./src/server and not in the root level folder?

I can’t seem to find anything related on SO as of now, but if there’s a related or duplicate question, please point me in the right direction.
