Modern Nx project.json files often don't set sourceRoot. When it was missing, resolveProjectBasePath silently fell back to the workspace-root src, so find / extract scanned nothing in that project - template keys in libs went undetected and their existing translations were reported as extra keys.

The source root is now derived from the project's own directory (or its explicit root field), the same way Nx defaults it.

Fixes #952

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved project path resolution for modern Nx configurations that omit sourceRoot.
    • Correctly derives source directories from the project location or explicit project root.
    • Prevents projects from incorrectly falling back to the workspace-level src directory.

Modern Nx `project.json` files often don't set `sourceRoot`. When it was
missing, `resolveProjectBasePath` silently fell back to the workspace-root
`src`, so `find` / `extract` scanned nothing in that project - template
keys in libs went undetected and their existing translations were
reported as extra keys.

The source root is now derived from the project's own directory (or its
explicit `root` field), the same way Nx defaults it.

Changes

Modern Nx project.json files without sourceRoot now derive their source path from the project directory or explicit root. Tests cover both cases.

Modern Nx source path resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Derive sourceRoot and validate project paths
libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/utils/resolve-project-base-path.ts, libs/transloco-keys-manager/src/lib/tests/resolveProjectBasePath.spec.ts
resolveProjectConfig assigns a missing sourceRoot from the project root or configuration directory. Tests verify directory-based resolution and explicit root precedence.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d890

Projects processed without an explicit project argument can still be scanned from the workspace-root src instead of their own source directory, causing keys to be missed and existing translations to be reported incorrectly; this correctness issue should be fixed before merge.

Explanation

The changes address issue #952 by deriving sourceRoot from the project directory or explicit root when project.json omits sourceRoot. This prevents find and extract from scanning the workspace-root src and supports projects in Nx libraries and applications.

Separate the When step from the Then step.

Store the result of resolveProjectBasePath('modern-lib') in a local variable before calling expect. This keeps the test in the repository's Given-When-Then format.

As per coding guidelines: tests follow the given-when-then format (per recent commit convention).

Handle the no-project path before falling back to workspace src.

The CLI does not require --project, and resolveConfig accepts an omitted project. In this path, resolveProjectConfig() can return a nearest project-level project.json without sourceRoot; resolveProject() returns null, so the resolver uses workspace-root src. Apply the <projectRoot>/src derivation to the nearest config.
