Current Behavior

When using Node 22.x, some nx commands that use the run-many option show this warning. Ex: nx run-many -t serve. Running the same command against a specific app does not show the warning. Ex: nx serve app.

The strong-log-transformer dependency is coming from:

nx/packages/nx/package.json

Line 65 in 2c4c2ae

"strong-log-transformer": "^2.1.0",

This appears to be its only usage in nx:

nx/packages/nx/src/tasks-runner/forked-process-task-runner.ts

Line 4 in 2c4c2ae

import * as logTransformer from 'strong-log-transformer';

[Yaoghost]

Has anybody found a solution?

[bkhtbkid]

I had this error. I changed the node version to a lower version and everything worked

[xiongemi]

as mentioned above, it is caused by strongloop/strong-log-transformer#12. need to wait for strong-log-transformer to update

[xiongemi]

i submitted a pr to remove package strong-long-transfromer from nx's package's dependencies

[whs0809]

My node version 22.2 reported this error, I reduced the node version to 18.20 and started again to solve the problem.Should be too high version caused by incompatibility?
