Adding express api to current nx monorepo not working

[igortas]

Hi,

I'm trying to build fullstack app and I've created the monorepo with react as one project.
I've installed @nx/express plugin, and run the command, nx g @nx/express:app api --directory=apps/api.

After that, running nx serve api throws daemon error:
