eslint cli: TypeError: Error while loading rule '@nx/enforce-module-boundaries': Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'keyword')

[gergelyszerovay]

Current Behavior

I run pnpm exec eslint src/**/*.ts modules/**/*.ts on a simple workspace based on https://nx.dev/getting-started/tutorials/angular-standalone-tutorial, and the command fails with the following error, if there is no cached graph in the .nx dir:

Expected Behavior

The eslint cli should work. I have similar issues with PyCharm's built-in eslint functionality.

pnpm exec nx run-many -t lint works as expected.

Got the same error myself in VSCode. easiest solution was to reload the window (or restart vscode) and the service started back up without a problem.

Restarting VSCode did not solve the issue for me, I had to remove the rule altogether (which I would prefer not to do) as a temporary solution in order to get rid of the error and have eslint running in VSCode

[Moeface]

This error also occurs for us when running the lint step in our continuous integration platform (CircleCI)

[bratconnex]

I have the same issue locally after upgrading to nx17! Any restarting etc will not fix the issue for me, but for others in my team it did end up fixing it.

[blackholegalaxy]

Please note I also encounter this problem on our project. Locally it works perfectly. In a github CI context, we encounter the error.

I have the same issue locally with VSCode and Angular 17

[yordan-kanchelov]

i can reproduce the same issue with mac setup + pnpm

i can reproduce the same issue with mac setup + pnpm

Same here with this combination, surprising since it's going great on a different machine.

Thank you all for chiming in. I will look at it now.

The rule, unfortunately, does not work unless there is a graph available since it depends on the graph information. But it should not block the eslint either.
