Additional Information

@MaxKless

in #11624 you said we should ping you if it happens again

[MaxKless]

Thanks for the report @jahusa02!
It's actually a slightly different error and we're aware of it. For now you have to manually kill all nx processes and try again. We're looking into the proper fix here #27006

[MaxKless]

For now you can set NX_ISOLATE_PLUGINS=false in your root .env and it should fix it.
