Inject migration angular didn't work on nx workspace

I use this nx generate @angular/core:inject to migrate projects but get below error:

Could not find any files to migrate under the path /home/jibit/Desktop/jibit-angular-workspace/. Cannot run the inject migration.

also try to use --path to address specific project in apps folder.

I can't figure out this problem is related to what? tsconfig maybe? or mismatch package versions?

Tsconfig:

I had the same issue when trying to run:

nx generate @angular/core:inject

and got:

Could not find any files to migrate under the path ... Cannot run the inject migration.

After a lot of debugging, the problem turned out not to be with NX or Angular directly, but with Jest test setup conflicting with the migration tooling.

What fixed it for me

I migrated from Jest → Vitest, and after that the inject migration started working normally.

In my case tsconfig.spec.json changed from:

"compilerOptions": {
  "outDir": "../../dist/out-tsc",
  "module": "commonjs",
  "target": "es2016",
  "types": ["jest", "node"],
  "moduleResolution": "node10"
}

to:

"compilerOptions": {
  "outDir": "../../dist/out-tsc",
  "types": [
    "vitest/globals",
    "vitest/importMeta",
    "vite/client",
    "node",
    "vitest"
  ]
}

I can’t say with 100% certainty whether it was specifically the type definitions, the removal of old Jest configs, or package incompatibility, but switching to Vitest resolved it immediately and the migration executed successfully.
