Unexpected 9MB binary produced from @angular-eslint/schematics: .nx/cache/18.3.3-nx.linux-x64-gnu.node

[johnnygerard]

A ~9MB binary is generated from @angular-eslint/schematics@17.3.0.
I'm assuming it is a regression bug maybe after your migration to Nx 18.

To reproduce:

ng new app --defaults
cd app
ng add @angular-eslint/schematics --skip-confirmation

You should see this file: app/.nx/cache/18.3.3-nx.linux-x64-gnu.node.

Environment:

     _                      _                 ____ _     ___
    / \   _ __   __ _ _   _| | __ _ _ __     / ___| |   |_ _|

I think eslint should add .nx to .gitignore

I also have this file after running ng update @angular/core@17 @angular/cli@17 @angular-eslint/schematics@17. We are not using nx in our project and I'm therefore surprised this is needed!

Shouldn't nx be a dev or peerDependency of angular-eslint?

Same here. With @angular-eslint 17.3.0 the nx/devkit/nwl dependencies find their way into the project. Even breaks my build process Error: Cannot find module '@nx/nx-linux-x64-gnu'. Why are they suddenly required by @angular-eslint?
