Warning: Fell back to using 'fs' to identify file_path as deleted

[rfprod]

Current Behavior

I renamed a file, and now I have a warning in the terminal that suggests to file a bug report.

Expected Behavior

No warning in the terminal when removing/renaming workspace files, and running commands after that.

Steps to Reproduce

Rename a file. For example apps/some-app-e2e/src/fixtures/example.json -> apps/some-app-e2e/src/fixtures/credentials.json.
Run command npx nx e2e some-app-e2e.

Failure Logs

ng run zzz-e2e:e2e --watch 
Warning: Fell back to using 'fs' to identify apps/zzz-e2e/src/fixtures/example.json as deleted. Please open an issue at https://github.com/nrwl/nx so we can investigate.

Also running into this after deleting unused files from libs/

EDIT: running git add . fixes it. Seems like nx is using git cache or something

Also running into this issue when running a React project with version: 10.3.1

Warning: Fell back to using 'fs' to identify tools/tsconfig.generated.json as deleted. Please open an issue at https://github.com/nrwl/nx so we can investigate.

I ran into this problem as well. To reproduce, I moved a file using drag-n-drop in the VS Code file explorer on the left. Then ran nx build <my proj> and received the following two error messages:

• Warning: Fell back to using 'fs' to identify apps/canvas-render-test/src/services/test.service.spec.ts as deleted. Please open an issue at https://github.com/nrwl/nx so we can investigate.
• Warning: Fell back to using 'fs' to identify libs/lib-images/src/lib/interfaces/aim-dimensioned-located-item.interface.ts as deleted. Please open an issue at https://github.com/nrwl/nx so we can investigate.

Potentially an issue on the VS Code side, since they have also been having issues changing import paths when I do this, related issue here: microsoft/TypeScript#40386

Just wanted to say, me too. I renamed a library (including everything that referenced it), and everything still broke.

Looks like the error self-resolved after a successful git commit.

This warning is really annoying and I honestly don't understand why I get it for deleted files.

But what I found when searching in nrwl/nx codebase was that it should be removed by v10.2 as this jsdoc line for a function printing this warning is saying. @vsavkin can it be removed already? Thanks

[bekos]

@miluoshi I prepare a PR that is going to resolve the root cause of this warning, be patient 😃

[miluoshi]

@bekos awesome, thanks! 🚀

I see this issue everytime I define a new story " Fell back to using 'fs' to identify". What is the concrete solution to it?

[crates]

@mrsshilpad - For me, it went away permanently after a successful commit. Try updating your Nx libraries and committing to see if that helps.

[ghost]

Thanks! Yes, it fixed for me too but then I wasn't able to see my component in storybook, so I had to restart everything. How is committing a concrete solution? Whats the logic behind it? What if I am not ready to commit anything?

[ghost]

I see my stories missing every now and then, guess this is different issue. But annoying.
