pnpm create nx-workspace is broken

[alois-reinstadler]

Current Behavior

Using pnpm create nx-workspace nx-demo with whatever options fails with an error log that cannot be found.

Failed to create a workspace.

Exit code: 1
Log file: /tmp/tmp-4633-2rl3IWEa4D0w/error.log

The log file seems nowhere to be found. I tried it on a windows machine and WSL. Both failed with the same mysterious error log. It doesn't seem to matter what preset you use (none, react, etc.) or if want to set up caching or not, it all fails.

Expected Behavior

Create a nx-workspace

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. run pnpm create nx-workspace nx-demo

2. pick whatever options you want

3. watch it fail
