Run nx lint --fix in generator

[jochman]

Hey!

I have a monorepo with a sync generator (or, any other generator).

after running a generator - I cannot check if the output file is actually sync as I'm using nx affected --fix which changes the files.

I can only run format through the sync generator.

how can I overcome it? How can I run lint on the generated files (as done with formatFiles(tree)).

example for usage:

export async function GenDI(tree: Tree): Promise<SyncGeneratorResult> {
  tree.write("hello.txt", "hello world");
  await formatFiles(tree);
  await lintFiles(tree)  // Missing piece 🧩
  return {
    outOfSyncMessage: "run nx sync",
  };
}

of course, I can understand that it involved on somehow calling nx affected lint --fix. But I still cannot do that as part of the generator.
