Unable to build using app specific package.json

[LucasMontero]

I have a NX file structure that looks like the following:

workspace-name/
├── apps/
│ ├── electron-app-1/
│ │ ├── ...
│ │ ├── package.json # Package manifest for Electron app 1
│ ├── electron-app-1-front/
│ │ ├── ...
│ ├── electron-app-2/
│ │ ├── ...
│ │ ├── package.json # Package manifest for Electron app 2
│ ├── electron-app-2-front/
│ │ ├── ...
│ ├── ...
│ └── package.json # Main package json (Dependencies, scripts...)

All works with normality but when I build each app, info like name, description... comes from the main package.json instead of the specific ones that I set for every app.

This means that, for example, when I try to access the UserData path on Electron, the folder that will be created is one with the name specified in the main package.json but I would need them to be called as the name that I specify on the package.json inside each app.

How could I set them to be build using the correct data from each package.json?

I'm facing a similar issue. Although I've generated a separate package.json into dist/apps/electron-app, and it is infact eventually bundled with the app. Yet, while packaging or making the app the root's package.json is being used for description, version or author fields.

We're having the same issue as well, nx v17.x
