Upgrade to nx 20.x.x ESLint in neovim no longer can read tsconfig.base.json

[mikkurogue]

Current Behavior

We upgraded to nx 20.4.4 from 19.8.4 and now we have an issue with eslint and specifically loading the eslint configuration (and tsconfig configuration) in neovim setups.

The error we get at the top of any file is:
eslint: Parsing error: Cannot read file '/Users/mikku/code/Work/apps/frontend/tsconfig.base.json'.

Howeverthe file is not named tsconfig.base.json per project, but just tsconfig.json and the root configuration file is called tsconfig.base.json in the root of the project.

I can however "get it to work" by renaming the projects tsconfig.json to tsconfig.base.json, opening a file and then reverting the rename. However this needs to happen everytime I would re-open neovim.

Expected Behavior

I expect in neovim that my eslint-lsp and vtsls (TS lsp) to attach and work correctly without throwing an error that it can not parse the configuration file named tsconfig.base.json within a project.

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a project with nx version 19.8.4 installed, setup with a tsconfig.base.json and a project with a tsconfig.json
2. upgrade nx to 20.4.4 along side the dependencies it requires
3. In (neo)vim open a source buffer in the project and wait for LSP's to attach, this should then throw a diagnostic error that it can not read the configuration.

FWIW i use neovim and have a 20.4.4 branch and my eslint works fine.

We decided to go nuclear and remove all configuration and just start again, now it works just fine again. Somehow the configuration was never correct it seems but just worked until we upgraded nx and the rest.

Closing the issue as it resolved itself by just creating a new configuration for eslint
