Nx 13 Migration failure: update-tasks-runner

Question

Background I have moved my Angular apps from 12 to 13.3.11.

What When running nx migrate 13.10.6 a migrations.json file is generated as expected.However, when running the migrations, it fails on the step "13-10-0-update-tasks-runner".

I get the following errors from Nx:

• Failed to run 13-10-0-update-tasks-runner from @nrwl/workspace. This workspace is NOT up to date!
• Cannot read property 'default' of undefined

Question What am I doing wrong, and/or how do I resolve this issue?

Stack trace:

It turns out there is an issue with the migration scripts from Nx; they require you to have tasksRunnerOptions present in your nx.json file. So, I did that and was now able to run the migrations successfully. Apparently, this is an issue even in the 14. . migrations so I will leave it there until I see it is solved.

Full details of where I found the fix are in this GitHub issue: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/10010
