Not able to run app through nx serve dashboard command.

[aakash-Compro]

I have access to a private repository that works perfectly fine for everyone else, but it's not working on my laptop. When I run the command nx serve dashboard, I get the following error:

NX Cannot find project 'dashboard'

please help me out

Have you tried the following?:

• clearing cache artifacts and metadata via pnpm exec nx reset? (see https://nx.dev/reference/core-api/nx/documents/reset)
• update nx console extension (if applicable)
• "repairing" the workspace pnpm exec nx repair

Additionally, a bit more context, like sharing the project.json of your dashboard project and nx report output, would help narrow down your issue.

@ekkolon Performed all steps, still facing the issue.

Here's nx report

And here project.json

This is super helpful, thank you!

I came across this open issue, and it looks like some of the suggested workarounds have resolved the exact same problem for others.

Hope it helps. Good luck!

@ekkolon Facing same issue. Tried above method not working for me as well

[aakash-Compro]

@ekkolon Tried this it only resolve the warnings in yellow line. The main issue NX Cannot find project 'dashboard' still persist.

Hey @aakash-Compro @anuragino, totally get how frustrating it can be when things don’t behave as expected!

Just to clarify: have you already tried all of the suggested workarounds mentioned in the linked issue?

Issues like these can be hard to diagnose without a minimal, reproducible example. That said, here are a few steps I’d personally take to help narrow things down further:

1. Open only the builder-2024 workspace in VSCode

From your screenshot @aakash-Compro, it looks like you have two .nx directories open. This might interfere with the Nx Console extension. This is speculative and probably not the root cause - but worth simplifying your workspace.

2. Update pnpm

3. Restart the nx daemon

pnpm exec nx daemon --stop
pnpm exec nx daemon --start

4. Check native module resolution

In your nx report, the native target shows up as wasm32, which is strange considering your OS is win32-x64. This mismatch could be a red flag. See @patlux's comment for reference.

5. Inspect @swc/core

One of your tracebacks includes SWC internals. This may be related to @BergLucas's comment.

6. Clean the slate

Delete all gitignored directories, aka: node_modules .nx tmp

Then clear the pnpm cache and reinstall everything:

pnpm store prune
pnpm install

7. Try nx version downgrade/upgrade

If your setup allows it, try downgrading or upgrading Nx packages to see if the issue persists in a clean environment.

8. Generate a Fresh Test Project

Create a new dummy Nx workspace with the same versions and dependencies to isolate whether the issue is workspace-specific or version-related.

Hi @ekkolon ty for sharing your suggestion on fixing the issue and after following your steps. And I fixed this error by install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64)
vc_redist.x64.exe
OS: windows 11

Hi @ekkolon,
Thank you for staying connected with us and helping us out. I was able to resolve the error by installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) — vc_redist.x64.exe

Hey guys, that's great to hear! Thanks for sharing your solution as well.

Appreciate the follow-up and glad it’s working for you now!
