Additional Information

Upgraded from Nx 15.6.3 -> 15.9.2 when the issue happened

[kdawgwilk]

Figure this out after some more debugging, it was because I had a import for a package that I had uninstalled in my code. Pretty obscure error that was tricky to track down. A better error message for this would be very helpful

[omniviewsports]

@kdawgwilk I fixed this by updating typescript to the newest 5.X.X version.
